How the quiz maker builds questions from your material

Writing a fresh quiz from lecture slides or a reading takes longer than most people expect. DeckOwl works as a quiz maker for your own material: upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or a photo of a page, and it drafts multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations.

Questions are drawn from the text you upload, not from generic filler.
Each answer includes an explanation you can read before moving on.
Short answer questions let you check recall, not just recognition.
Free plan includes 3 generations per month with browser study.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a quiz on a single topic include?

Ten to twenty questions is a practical range for one topic, enough to cover the main ideas without tiring you out. Shorter quizzes work well as quick self-checks before a lecture or exam.

What makes a good history quiz question?

Each question should test one fact, date or cause, and the wrong options should be plausible rather than obviously false. Reading the explanation for each answer shows you why the right choice is correct.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, but exports are not included.

Can I export quizzes to Moodle or QTI?

Yes, on the Pro plan, which adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export along with a stronger AI model and bulk upload. PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month.
