How to judge a free trial of an AI quiz generator
Before you pay for any quiz tool, the real test is whether its questions match your own course material, and the best way to judge a free trial is to run it on that material. DeckOwl's free plan gives you 3 generations a month, with no credit card needed to start.
- 3 free generations each month on the free plan
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions
- Explanations for every question
- Plus from $99.90/year or $9.99/month for unlimited generations and exports
Works with your material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition.
Explanations included
Every question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a short lesson.
Export when you upgrade
PDF, DOCX and Anki exports come with Plus. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports come with Pro.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of a page.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer for your quiz.
Study in the browser
The free plan lets you take quizzes online. Exports need a paid plan.
Quiz questions only help when they come from what you are actually being tested on. Upload a lecture deck or chapter PDF, then check whether each explanation teaches you something, not just whether the marked answer is right.
Exports are the main limit on the free plan. PDF, DOCX and Anki files need Plus, and QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML files need Pro, while studying in the browser costs nothing extra.

Frequently asked questions
How many practice questions should I make before an exam?
Start with 10 to 20 questions per chapter, then generate more on the topics where you keep missing answers. Focusing on weak spots usually helps more than adding volume.
How often should I review quiz questions to remember them?
Spread your review over several days instead of cramming, and retest yourself on the questions you missed. Spaced repetition in the paid plans schedules this for flashcards automatically.
Does the free plan include exports?
No. The free plan lets you study in the browser, while PDF, DOCX and Anki exports require Plus and QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML exports require Pro.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
