Printable quizzes without the device setup

Many teachers searching for a Quizizz paper mode PDF want a quiz they can hand out without asking every student to log in. A printed quiz works in rooms with weak Wi-Fi, during testing windows when devices are restricted, and for students who review better on paper.

  • Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX, plain notes or photos of pages
  • Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus; QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro
  • Start free with 3 generations per month and no credit card
Example paper quiz questions for classroom review
Why print the answer key on a separate page from the questions?Separate pages keep answers hidden from students during the quiz, since the key is only for grading.
A class has unreliable Wi-Fi. Which quiz format works best?A paper quiz, because it needs no devices or internet during the session.
Why include an open-response question on a paper quiz?Short answers show reasoning that multiple choice can miss, and the teacher can grade them by hand from the printout.
How many options work best for a multiple-choice question?Four options, since that keeps distractors plausible without overloading students with choices.
What should a printed quiz show at the top of the first page?A name and date line plus the point value for each section, so students can plan their time and grading stays consistent.
Generate the full set

Built from your material

Start from the PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text or photo of a page you already have, so the quiz matches what your class covered.

Explanations on every answer

Each question comes with an explanation, so the answer key doubles as a short review sheet after students finish.

Export when you need paper

Export to PDF or DOCX on the Plus plan. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, slide deck, document or photo of printed notes. Text recognition reads images.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, then generate the set from your own content.

Export and print

Review the questions, then export the quiz and answer key as a PDF or DOCX for paper use.

DeckOwl builds the quiz from your own material rather than a generic bank. You can mix multiple-choice, true/false and short open questions, and each one includes an explanation that you can print on the answer key. Exporting to PDF or DOCX is included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month.

Before printing, check that each question stands alone on the page, that options are not repeated across items, and that the answer key sits on a separate page. Editing the output takes a few minutes and is usually faster than writing questions from scratch.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a paper quiz work when students have no devices?

Generate the questions first, then export them to PDF so students work from a printout. Keep the answer key on a separate page so students cannot see the answers during the quiz.

What should a printed multiple-choice quiz include?

Include a name and date line, the point value for each section, and four options per question with one clearly correct answer. Explanations belong on the answer key, not the student copy.

Can I export my quiz to PDF?

Yes, PDF and DOCX export are included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?
