Turn your own photos and notes into a pub quiz picture round
DeckOwl reads your slides, notes and photos of pages, then writes multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations.
Why a printed picture round PDF is only a starting point
Plenty of hosts go looking for a ready-made pub quiz picture round PDF, but those sheets rarely match your crowd, your local landmarks or the level your regulars expect. Generating your own round from material you already have lets you choose the subjects, set the difficulty and skip the copy-and-paste work.
- Use photos with captions or printed names so the text can be read.
- Keep one clearly correct answer per picture to avoid arguments on the night.
- Check spellings of places and people, since the answers come from your source.
- Mix easy and hard pictures so teams of different sizes stay in the game.
Built from your material
Upload the captions, lists or slides you already have, and the questions are written from that content rather than from a generic template.
Explanations on every question
Each answer comes with a short explanation, so hosts can settle disputes quickly and players learn why an answer was right.
Export when you need a printout
Plus lets you export to PDF or DOCX for printing, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for classroom quiz platforms.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photos of your picture list. Photos are read with text recognition, so printed names and captions work best.
Choose your question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, then generate a set sized for your round.
Review and export
Check each question and explanation, edit anything that needs changing, then export to PDF on the Plus plan.
Picture rounds depend on recognizing images, and DeckOwl works from the text in your files. For the best results, pair each picture with a caption or a clear name, such as a flag with the country written beside it or a landmark photo with its city listed in your notes. The questions and explanations are then built from that text.
Once you have a round you like, study it in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, so you can print answer sheets for the night.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write good picture round questions for a pub quiz?
Pick subjects most of the room will recognize, such as famous landmarks, flags or well-known paintings. Make sure each picture has one clearly correct answer, and spell names the way your scorer will check them.
What makes a picture round question easy to judge?
A single, specific answer like a country name or artwork title is easier to score than a vague description. Write the expected answer in your notes so the explanation can back it up.
Can I print my picture round as a PDF?
Yes, PDF export is included with the Plus plan. The free plan lets you study generated questions in the browser without exports.
Does it work from photos of picture sheets?
It does, because photos of pages are read with text recognition. Captions and printed names give the best results, since the questions are built from the text it finds.
