Why people look for a Quizizz alternative

Many students and teachers who relied on Quizizz for quick quizzes now want a Quizizz alternative that starts from their own material instead of a template library.

  • Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages
  • Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations
  • Spaced repetition flashcards and mind maps from the same source
  • Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki, CSV, QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on paid plans
Example cell biology quiz questions
Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria. They carry out aerobic respiration, the main ATP-producing pathway in most cells.
True or false: Water moves by osmosis toward the side with higher solute concentration.True. Water potential is lower where solute concentration is higher, so water follows that gradient.
What does helicase do during DNA replication?It unwinds the double helix by breaking hydrogen bonds between base pairs, which creates the replication fork.
Why does the Calvin cycle depend on ATP and NADPH?The light-dependent reactions produce them, and the Calvin cycle uses their energy and electrons to fix CO2 into sugar.
How does the chromosome number of meiosis products differ from mitosis products?Mitosis yields diploid cells identical to the parent, while meiosis yields four haploid gametes. Halving the number lets fertilization restore the diploid count.

Built from your material

Questions come from the PDFs, slides, notes or photos you upload, so the quiz matches what your class actually covers.

Explanations for every answer

Each question shows why the correct answer is right, so a wrong guess becomes a lesson instead of a dead end.

Flashcards and mind maps too

The same upload can produce spaced repetition flashcards and mind maps for the topics you need to review.

How it works

Upload your file

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz in a few seconds.

Study or export

Work through the quiz in your browser on the free plan. Paid plans add exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki, CSV, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

A quiz built from your lecture slides or chapter notes tests what you were actually taught. You can upload the file, generate questions, and check the explanations before you study or share them.

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Plus and Pro add unlimited generations and export options for learning management systems.

Frequently asked questions

How many quiz questions should I make from one cell biology chapter?

Start with 10 to 15 questions per chapter and add more on topics you miss often. Shorter, focused sets are easier to review regularly than one long quiz.

How do I study cell biology with practice quiz questions?

Answer each question before checking the key, then read the explanation even when you were right. Retake the questions you missed after a day or two so the material sticks.

Can I export my quizzes to another app or LMS?

Plus includes exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No. You can start on the free plan with no credit card, which includes 3 generations per month. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
