Turn your notes into a quiz with an AI quiz maker
Upload a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file or photo of a page, and get questions with explanations you can study in the browser or export on a paid plan.
A quiz built from your own material
If you were hoping for QR code quizzes, DeckOwl does not create QR codes. What it does is work as a quiz maker for your own material: upload lecture notes, slides or a PDF and get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, each with an explanation.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions from your own files
- Explanations for every answer so wrong responses teach something
- Accepts PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes and photos of pages
- Exports on paid plans: PDF and DOCX on Plus, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro
Three question types
Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, generated from the material you upload.
Explanations on every answer
Each question shows why the correct answer is right, so missed questions become study moments.
Exports for teachers and LMS users
Paid plans export to PDF or DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and how many you want.
Study or export
Work through the quiz in your browser, or export it when you are on a paid plan.
Because the questions come from your files, the quiz follows what your class actually covers instead of a generic template. Paid plans export the set as PDF or DOCX to print or share, and Pro exports QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML for your course system.
