Turn your own notes into quizzes on Windows, no install
Skip the ready-made quiz files. Upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions from your material, each with an explanation.
Why a custom quiz beats a generic download
Many people searching for a quiz download for Windows want practice questions that match what their class actually covered. A generic quiz file rarely does that, because it was written for someone else's course.
- Questions come from your own slides, notes or textbook pages.
- Multiple choice, true/false and short-answer formats are all available.
- Every question includes an explanation of the correct answer.
- Nothing to install: the study session runs in your browser on Windows.
Built from your files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads images too.
Explanations on every question
Each answer comes with a short reason, so a wrong pick teaches you something.
Runs in your browser
Open it on Windows in Edge or Chrome and start studying. There is nothing to install.
How it works
Upload your material
Drop in lecture slides, a textbook chapter or your typed notes.
Pick a question type
Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer, or mix them.
Study and retake
Work through the quiz, read the explanations, and repeat the questions you missed.
DeckOwl works the other way around. You supply the material, and the AI writes questions from it, so your quiz follows your lecture order and vocabulary. Free accounts get 3 generations per month and study in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
Students with a school email get 40% off, and no credit card is needed to start.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install anything on Windows to use DeckOwl?
No. DeckOwl runs in your browser, so you can upload material and study on a Windows PC without installing a program. Exporting files is a paid feature.
How many practice questions should I do in one study session?
Most students do better with a short set of 10 to 20 questions than one very long quiz. Review the explanations for every miss before moving on.
What is the best way to use quiz explanations when studying?
Read the explanation even when you answered correctly, since it often shows why the wrong options fail. Then retake the questions you missed after a break, not right away.
Which export options are included in paid plans?
Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export along with unlimited generations. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export and a stronger AI model.
