Turn your notes into a practice quiz with an AI quiz maker
Upload a PDF, a set of slides or typed notes and get practice questions with explanations. You can start without a credit card.
How a quiz maker helps you test what you actually studied
Most students who use a quiz maker want to test themselves on the exact pages they were assigned, not on a generic question bank. DeckOwl builds the quiz from your own upload, so the questions follow your lecture slides or chapter.
- Works with PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain text and photos of pages
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question types
- Explanations on every question so you learn from misses
- Free plan to try it before you pay, with no credit card required to start
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer
Pick the question format that fits your exam, from quick true/false checks to open questions.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you why it was wrong.
Built from your own material
Questions come from the PDF, slides or notes you upload, so the quiz matches what your class covered.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page.
Choose a question type
Select multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions and generate the quiz.
Practice and review
Take the quiz in your browser, read the explanations and retry the questions you missed.
Testing yourself is one of the more reliable ways to study because recalling an answer strengthens it more than rereading does. Explanations matter too: reading why an option is wrong helps you catch the same mistake on the real exam.
The free plan lets you generate quizzes and study in the browser. Paid plans add exports for PDF, DOCX and Anki, plus unlimited generations.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a practice quiz have?
Ten to twenty questions is a good range for a single study session on one chapter. Shorter quizzes make it easier to review explanations right after you answer.
How should I study from quiz explanations?
Read the explanation for every question you missed, then try the question again later without looking at the answer. Retesting after a few days helps the answer stick.
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.
Which features need a paid plan?
Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV is part of the Plus plan, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan.
