Making a quiz booklet from images of your notes

Photos of handouts and textbook pages can become an image-based quiz booklet in a few minutes. DeckOwl reads the text in each image, then writes questions and answers that match what you uploaded.

  • Upload photos of handouts, slides or textbook pages and the text is read automatically.
  • Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions for each booklet.
  • Every question includes an explanation for the correct answer.
  • Export a PDF on Plus to print, or study in the browser on the free plan.
Example cell biology quiz questions
Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria. They carry out cellular respiration, which converts glucose and oxygen into ATP.
True or false: plant and animal cells both have a cell wall.False. Only plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose, while animal cells rely on the plasma membrane for support.
What is the main function of ribosomes?Protein synthesis. Ribosomes read messenger RNA and link amino acids into polypeptide chains.
Why does a plant cell lose water when placed in concentrated salt solution?Water moves by osmosis from the area of lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration, so the cell loses water and the membrane pulls away from the wall.
Which phase of mitosis lines chromosomes up along the cell's center?Metaphase. Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres and align the chromosomes at the metaphase plate.

Photos work too

Snap pages from a textbook, worksheet or whiteboard. Text recognition reads each image so the quiz is built from what is actually written.

Questions with explanations

Each item comes as multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, with an explanation so students learn why an answer is right.

Export on Plus

The free plan studies in the browser. Plus exports your booklet to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

How it works

Add your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photos of pages.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions and how many you want.

Study or export

Practice in the browser on the free plan, or export the booklet as a PDF on Plus.

If you were hoping for a ready-made printable quiz booklet, DeckOwl works differently: it builds one from your own material, so the questions follow your course rather than a generic template. Each question includes an explanation, which helps when you check answers after a practice round.

Photograph pages in good light and check for blur or cut-off text before uploading, since unclear text produces weaker questions. Smaller sections also make tighter quizzes than an entire chapter at once.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a cell biology quiz booklet include?

Ten to fifteen questions per topic works well for one study session, and mixing multiple-choice with true/false keeps recall varied. Start with the sections your exam covers most heavily.

How should I study from a quiz booklet?

Answer every question before reading the explanation, then retry the ones you missed after a few hours. Plus includes spaced repetition, which schedules those review sessions for you.

Can I print the quiz booklet?

Yes, on Plus you can export the booklet as a PDF and print it. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Does it work with photos of pages?

Yes. Images are read with text recognition, so photos of handouts or notebook pages can be used as source material.
