Turn your class notes into a quiz you can study offline
DeckOwl generates quizzes with explanations from your PDFs, slides, or notes. It runs in the browser, and you can export finished quizzes to PDF to study away from the internet.
Why an offline quiz maker app is harder to find than it sounds
If you want an offline quiz maker app, it helps to know what generating a quiz actually requires. AI quiz generation reads your material and writes new questions, so that step needs an internet connection. DeckOwl is a browser-based tool with no separate offline app, but you can still take quizzes offline by exporting them.
- Generate quizzes online, then save them for offline use
- Export to PDF on Plus to print or keep a copy on your device
- Use your own notes and slides so the quiz matches your course
- Check each answer against its explanation to fix gaps quickly
Multiple-choice, true/false, and open questions
Pick the question format that fits your material and get an explanation with every answer.
Built from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX files, slides, plain text, or photos of pages and generate quizzes from what you actually need to learn.
Export for offline study
On Plus, export to PDF or DOCX so you can print or save the quiz and work through it without a connection.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file, or photo of a page. Text recognition reads photos.
Choose a question type
Select multiple-choice, true/false, or open questions, then generate the quiz.
Study or export
Work through the quiz in your browser, or export to PDF on Plus to take it offline.
The practical workflow is to generate the quiz while you are online, then export it to PDF on a Plus plan. You can print the questions or save the file to your device and answer them with no connection. Free accounts can study in the browser but cannot export.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a biology quiz have for one study session?
A short set you can finish in one sitting usually works better than a long one you skim. Mixing question types keeps recall active and shows where your understanding is thin.
What makes a good practice question for studying?
A good question tests one idea and has a single correct answer. Wrong options should reflect common mistakes, and the explanation after each answer is where most of the learning happens.
Does DeckOwl have an offline app?
DeckOwl runs in the browser, and generating quizzes requires an internet connection, so there is no separate offline app. To study away from the internet, export your quiz to PDF on a Plus plan and print or save it.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser-based study, but exports are not included. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export.
