Create a quiz from your notes in minutes with AI
Upload a PDF, slide deck, DOCX or photo of a page, and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations you can review and edit.
How to create a quiz from class material
Teachers and students who want to create a quiz from lecture slides or reading notes usually spend more time writing questions than checking what they know. DeckOwl reads your files and proposes questions tied to the specific content in them.
- Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
- Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations
- Free plan includes three generations per month and browser study
- Plus and Pro unlock exports for PDF, DOCX, Anki, CSV, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML
Three question types
Multiple-choice, true/false and short open questions, each with an explanation so students learn why an answer is right.
Built from your material
Questions come from the files you upload, so the quiz matches your lecture, reading or course outline rather than generic content.
Ready to share or export
Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, 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 a photo of pages. Photos are read with text recognition.
Choose question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and set how many you want from the content.
Review and practice
Check each question and explanation, make edits, then take the quiz or export it.
Each question includes an explanation, which helps when a wrong answer reveals a gap in understanding. Open questions show whether you can explain an idea in your own words, not just recognize it.
Start on the free plan with three generations per month and no credit card. If you need unlimited generations and exports, Plus is $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month, and students get 40% off with a school email.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a quiz on the immune system have?
Ten to fifteen questions usually cover one lecture on innate and adaptive immunity without taking too long. Mix multiple-choice with a few open questions so you test both recognition and explanation.
What makes a good wrong answer in an immune system multiple-choice question?
Good distractors are plausible mistakes, such as confusing B cells with T cells or innate with adaptive responses. Each wrong choice should reflect a misconception you want students to catch.
Can I export my quiz to use in another system?
PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of Pro, while the free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off Plus with a school email.
