Upload a PDF, slides or notes and get a draft quiz with explanations you can review, edit and share.
Using a quiz tool for remote quiz creator work
Many remote quiz creator jobs include a sample quiz built from a short source text, so speed and accuracy in turning material into questions matter. DeckOwl can handle the first drafting pass: upload a PDF, slides, DOCX, PPTX or notes and get multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with explanations.
- Generates multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions
- Explanations for each answer so reviewers can check the reasoning
- Reads PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
- Free plan includes a few generations per month to try it out
Multiple question types
Generate multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions from the same source material.
Explanations for each answer
Every question comes with a note on why the answer is correct, which makes reviewing drafts faster.
Works from your own files
Start from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages read with text recognition.
How it works
Upload your source
Add the reading, slides or notes the quiz should cover.
Choose question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions and generate a draft.
Review and export
Check each question against the source, then study in the browser or export on a paid plan.
The tool does not replace subject knowledge or judgment about what to assess. Check every generated question against the source, adjust distractors and confirm the answer key before sharing. Paid plans export to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a good multiple-choice distractor?
A good distractor reflects a realistic mistake or misconception, so it seems plausible to someone who has not mastered the material. Keep options similar in length and grammar so the correct answer does not stand out.
How long should a quiz be?
Short quizzes focused on one lesson or unit are common and easier for learners to finish with full attention. Match the length to the number of objectives you are testing.
Does DeckOwl export quizzes to Moodle or QTI?
Yes, Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are included on the Pro plan. PDF and DOCX export are included on Plus, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, the Free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but no exports. No credit card is needed to start, and students get 40% off with a school email.
