Turn your class notes into AI-written quiz questions
Upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes and get practice questions with explanations that you can study now or export later.
How an AI question generator fits into studying
An AI question generator is most useful when the questions come from your own course material rather than a generic question bank.
- Questions are based on your own slides, notes or readings.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer formats are available.
- Each question includes an explanation for the correct answer.
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month for studying in the browser.
Three question types
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions, all generated from the material you upload.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a lesson instead of a dead end.
Exports for your course
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, and set how many questions you want.
Review and study
Check the questions and explanations, study them in the browser, or export when you are on a paid plan.
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page, and DeckOwl reads the text before writing questions that match what your instructor actually covered.
Because every question has an explanation, you can see why an answer is right or wrong and go back to the exact section of your notes that matters.

Frequently asked questions
How many practice questions should I write for a DNA and genetics unit?
Start with 10 to 15 questions per lecture so you cover key terms, processes and problem-solving, then add more before exams. Mix multiple-choice questions for recognition with short answer questions for recall.
What question types work best for learning genetics?
Short answer questions build recall of processes like replication and transcription, while multiple-choice questions help with comparing terms such as genotype and phenotype. True/false questions are useful for catching common misconceptions.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but it does not include exports.
Can I export questions to Moodle XML?
Yes, but Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are included with Plus at $39 per year or $7.99 per month.
