A quiz maker in your browser, with no plugin install needed
Upload a PDF, slides or notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations. Pro exports Moodle XML and QTI 2.1.
Why a browser quiz maker can replace a plugin
Most people who want a quiz maker plugin already have lecture slides or chapter notes and need questions written from them.
- No installation or admin access needed to start
- Questions generated from your own PDFs, slides or notes
- Explanations included with each question
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month; no credit card needed
Works from your own files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages, and the questions are written from that material.
Three question types
Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, each with an explanation for the correct answer.
Moodle and QTI export
On the Pro plan, export Moodle XML or QTI 2.1 files to import into your learning system.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, document or set of notes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and generate a quiz from the content.
Review, study or export
Check the questions and explanations, practice in the browser, or export if your plan includes it.
DeckOwl runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install on a website or course page. You upload the source file, choose the question types, and each item comes with an explanation for its answer.
If your course runs on Moodle or another QTI-compatible system, the Pro plan exports Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 files you can import. Free plan quizzes stay in the browser and cannot be exported.

Frequently asked questions
Can I install DeckOwl as a plugin in Moodle?
No. DeckOwl is a web app, but the Pro plan exports Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 files that you can import into Moodle.
How many questions should a practice quiz have?
Ten to twenty questions covering one topic is a practical range for a single sitting. Shorter quizzes work well for quick checks before class.
How should I review the answers I got wrong?
Read the explanation, restate the correct idea in your own words, and retake the missed questions after a day or two. Spacing the review helps the answer stick.
Do exports cost extra?
Yes. PDF and DOCX export are on the Plus plan at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month, and QTI and Moodle XML export are on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month.
