Get Google Forms-style quizzes built from your own notes
DeckOwl reads your PDFs, slides and notes, then writes multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations you can review in the browser or export.
How an AI quiz maker differs from a blank form
Typing every question into a form by hand is slow when your material already exists as a PDF or slide deck. A quiz maker like Google Forms that starts from your own files skips that step: you upload the document and get questions with answer choices and explanations.
- Questions are written from your notes, not typed one by hand.
- Each answer includes an explanation you can review.
- The Free plan includes 3 generations per month, browser study and no exports.
- Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions
Questions are generated from your material, so you start with a full set instead of a blank form.
An explanation for every answer
Each question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a lesson.
Export when you need it
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or photos of pages.
Generate the quiz
DeckOwl writes questions with answer choices and explanations from your content.
Study or export
Practice in the browser on the Free plan, or export on Plus and Pro.
DeckOwl is built for self-testing and practice rather than collecting answers from a class. It writes the questions for you instead of giving you an empty form, so Google Forms is still the better choice when you need to gather responses from other people.

Frequently asked questions
Can Google Forms grade a quiz automatically?
Yes, multiple choice, checkboxes, dropdown and short answer questions can be graded against an answer key once quiz mode is turned on. Paragraph questions need manual grading.
What question types make a good study quiz?
Mixing multiple choice with true/false and short answer questions works well, because recognizing an answer and recalling it from memory use different skills. Explanations after each question help you learn from the misses.
Is DeckOwl free to use?
The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no exports. Plus costs $39/year or $7.99/month and adds unlimited generations and exports.
Can I export my quiz to Google Forms?
No, DeckOwl exports to PDF and DOCX on Plus, and to Anki and CSV as well, with QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro. Google Forms is not one of the export formats.
