Turn your own notes into a free quiz for students
DeckOwl doesn't run live join-code games. It reads your PDF, slides or notes and writes multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations you can practice on right away.
Practice quizzes without a live class code
A live game code only works while a teacher is running it, so students who want to study alone need a free quiz for students they can open any time.
- Generate questions from your own lecture slides or chapter PDFs.
- Get multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations.
- Study in the browser on the free plan, with 3 generations per month.
- Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.
Your material, your questions
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page, and the quiz is built from what you actually need to learn.
Explanations for every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer question comes with an explanation, so a wrong guess teaches you something.
Study in the browser for free
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, with no credit card needed to start.

DeckOwl takes a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page and writes questions with explanations. On the free plan you can study them in the browser, with 3 generations per month and no exports. Plus and Pro add exports for other tools and learning systems.
