Make an online quiz from your own notes or PDFs
Upload notes, slides or a photo of a page and get multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with explanations, then take the quiz in your browser.
Why an online quiz maker works better with your own material
Teachers and students who need practice questions often end up writing them by hand. A online quiz maker built on your own material skips that step: upload a lecture deck, textbook chapter or set of notes, and DeckOwl writes questions that match what you actually covered.
- Questions come from your own lectures and readings, not a generic question bank.
- Every question includes an explanation, so wrong answers still teach something.
- The free plan includes 3 generations per month with browser study and no exports.
- Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export; Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
Three question types
Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions are generated from your material.
An explanation for every answer
Each question explains why the correct answer is right, so wrong answers still teach you something.
Browser study and paid exports
Take quizzes free in the browser. PDF and DOCX export come with Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export come with Pro.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or a photo of a page.
Pick your question types
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions for your quiz.
Take the quiz and review
Check your answers, read the explanations, and export the quiz if you are on a paid plan.
Because the questions come from your files, the quiz stays focused on your course instead of a generic question bank. Each item includes an explanation, so a missed answer becomes a quick review rather than a dead end.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. Plus, at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, adds unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export, and Pro at $14.99/month adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for learning management systems.

Frequently asked questions
How many quiz questions should I write for the immune system?
Start with 10 to 15 questions for one chapter so you can cover innate and adaptive immunity without overloading a single session. Add more questions for each new topic, such as antibodies, T cells and vaccines.
How should I study immune system quiz questions?
Answer each question before reading the explanation, and keep a list of the ones you miss. Retry the missed questions after a day or two so the material moves into long-term memory.
Can I export my quiz?
Exports are paid features: PDF and DOCX export come with Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export come with Pro. The free plan lets you take quizzes in the browser.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card. Students can also get 40% off with a school email.
