Turn your own notes into AI quizzes with explanations
Upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation of the correct answer.
How AI quiz generation fits into your review
Wayground-style AI quizzes start from the material you already have, so the questions match your lectures and readings instead of a generic topic list. Upload the slides or notes you are studying and DeckOwl drafts multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with an explanation for each correct answer.
- Generate multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions from PDFs, slides, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages.
- Read every answer with a one-sentence explanation of why it is correct or incorrect.
- Study free in the browser with 3 generations per month, no credit card needed.
- Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.
Built from your material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page. The quiz covers what is in your files, not a generic question bank.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a lesson rather than just a red mark.
Study in the browser or export
Take quizzes free in the browser. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning systems that accept those formats.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads images for you.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.
Review and retake
Check each explanation, fix anything that does not match your course, and retake the quiz until the material sticks.
Quizzes work best when you take them after a gap, not right after reading. Use the explanations to see why a distractor was wrong, then retake the questions a day or two later. Free accounts can study the quiz in the browser, and paid plans add exports for printing or for your class system.
If your class already runs practice on another platform, you can still build the questions here from your own files. Plus exports PDF and DOCX, and Pro exports QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for systems that import those formats.

Frequently asked questions
How many quiz questions should I make from one chapter?
Start with 10 to 15 questions per chapter, focusing on definitions, processes and cause-and-effect points. Add more only if the chapter has many distinct concepts you keep missing.
What makes a good practice question for review?
Good questions test one idea each and have plausible wrong answers that reflect common mistakes. Short answer questions are strongest when you explain the reasoning, not just the final term.
Does DeckOwl connect to Wayground or import its quizzes?
No. DeckOwl does not connect to Wayground or sync its quizzes. You upload your own material and the quiz is generated here.
Are exports included in the free plan?
No. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month. PDF and DOCX export start on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro.
