Generate the full set

Cards from your own sources

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the images, so you do not retype facts.

Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions

Mix formats across categories like geography, science, music and history, so each round has a range of question types.

Anki export on Plus

Export your pub quiz deck to Anki on the Plus plan, and study it on any device with the same schedule you set in the app.

How it works

Add your trivia material

Upload a PDF, slides, a document, or a photo of your fact sheet. Plain text notes work too.

Review the generated questions

Check each question and its explanation, then remove anything too obscure for your room.

Study and export

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki on Plus before the next round.

Good trivia cards are short and specific: one fact per card, a question with a single clear answer, and an explanation that says why it is correct. DeckOwl drafts multiple-choice, true/false and open questions from your material, and each one includes an explanation you can check before the event.

Spaced repetition on the Plus plan spreads review across the weeks before quiz night, so the categories you find hardest come back more often. Export the finished deck to Anki when you want it on your phone or laptop.

Frequently asked questions

How many trivia facts should I put in one pub quiz deck?

Start with the 50 to 100 facts most likely to come up in your round, since a focused deck is easier to review daily. Add categories gradually so the deck stays manageable before the event.

What kinds of general knowledge questions work best as flashcards?

Questions with one clear answer, such as capitals, chemical symbols, authors and dates, work best. Avoid questions with several defensible answers, because they make poor cards and confusing quiz rounds.

Can I export pub quiz flashcards to Anki for free?

No, Anki export is a Plus feature, and the free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month. Plus is $39/year or $7.99/month, and students get 40% off with a school email.

Does DeckOwl work with photos of trivia notes?

Yes, images such as photos of pages are read with text recognition, so handwritten-free printed notes and almanac pages can be used as source material. Review the generated cards afterward to catch any misread text.
