Make a free Kahoot-style quiz from your own notes
Upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions you can study in your browser on the free plan.
How a free Kahoot-style quiz works with your notes
Anyone who wants a quiz maker like Kahoot but free usually runs into the same problem: the tool that builds the questions is paywalled, or the questions have little to do with the course. DeckOwl starts from your own PDF, slides or notes, so the quiz covers what your class actually covered. The free plan gives you 3 generations a month and lets you study in the browser, while exports to PDF, DOCX and Anki are part of the paid Plus plan.
- Questions generated from your own PDFs, slides, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats, each with an explanation
- Study in the browser on the free plan, with 3 generations per month
- Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages and get questions based on what you actually studied.
Explanations for every answer
Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions each come with an explanation, so wrong answers still teach you something.
Free to start
The free plan includes 3 generations a month and browser study. No credit card is needed to start.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of a page.
Choose question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate your quiz.
Study and quiz yourself
Work through the questions in your browser and read each explanation as you go.
Kahoot-style games are fun in a live room, but they are built for a host to run. A self-paced quiz lets you answer at your own speed and read why each option is right or wrong. Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions all include explanations, so you can keep retrying the topics you miss until they stick.

Frequently asked questions
How many quiz questions should I make from one chapter?
Most chapters work well with 15 to 25 questions, which covers the main terms without making a session drag. Start with a smaller set and generate more once you see which topics you miss.
How should I study quiz questions so I remember them longer?
Read the explanation after every answer, including the ones you got right. Retry the questions you missed after a day or two, since spacing your review over several days works better than one long session.
Is the free plan enough to try it out?
Yes, the free plan gives you 3 generations a month and lets you study in the browser. Exporting to PDF, DOCX or Anki requires Plus, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month.
Can I export a quiz to Moodle?
Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are included in the Pro plan at $14.99/month. Students get 40% off with a school email.
