What you need from a quiz app on a PC
Many students who want a quiz app for PC are really after one thing: fast practice questions that match what they are studying right now. Printed quizzes from a textbook are fixed, and a generic download rarely knows your course.
- Questions come from your own notes, not a fixed question bank.
- Multiple-choice, true/false, and short answer formats with explanations.
- Study in the browser on any PC with no download needed to start.
- Export to PDF or DOCX on the Plus plan when you want a printed copy.
Three question types
Get multiple-choice, true/false, and short answer questions generated from your own material.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with a short explanation so you learn why the right answer is right.
Runs in your browser
Study on any computer with a web browser. There is no desktop program to download.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, or a photo of a page.
Choose question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false, or short answer, and set how many questions you want.
Practice and review
Answer the quiz in the browser, check the explanations, and retake the questions you missed.
DeckOwl reads your own notes and writes questions from them, so the quiz reflects your lecture and readings. Everything runs in your web browser, so there is no installer to hunt for. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. Plus adds unlimited generations, PDF and DOCX export, and spaced repetition for review.

Frequently asked questions
How many practice questions should I make for an introductory cell biology unit?
Aim for 20 to 30 questions per chapter so you can cover each organelle and process at least once. Mix multiple-choice with true/false items to test both recall and reasoning.
How often should I review quiz questions I got wrong?
Retry missed questions within a day or two, then again after a few more days, because spaced review improves long-term retention. Spaced repetition for flashcards is included on the Plus plan.
Is DeckOwl a PC app I need to download?
No. DeckOwl runs in your web browser on any computer, so there is nothing to install to start. The free plan includes 3 generations per month with browser study.
Can I export my quizzes to PDF or Moodle?
PDF and DOCX export are on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on the Pro plan at $14.99/month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
