Turn your notes into Quizizz-style question and answer quizzes
Upload a PDF, slide deck, or set of notes. DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false, and short-answer questions, and each one comes with an explanation of the correct answer.
How question and answer quizzes work for studying
Teachers and students who like the Quizizz format often want Quizizz-style question and answer quizzes built from their own course material rather than a generic question bank. DeckOwl reads your files and writes questions that match the specific terms, examples, and claims in your notes.
- Multiple-choice, true/false, and short-answer questions from one upload
- An explanation attached to every answer
- Study in the browser on the free plan, with 3 generations per month
- Paid exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki, CSV, QTI 2.1, and Moodle XML
Questions from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Questions are based on what you actually studied, not a generic bank.
Explanations on every answer
Each question includes the correct answer and a short explanation, so you learn why an option is right or wrong.
Study in the browser for free
The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you practice in the browser. No credit card is needed to start.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, notes, or a photo of a textbook page.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false, or short-answer questions for the set.
Practice and review explanations
Answer the questions, then read the explanation for each one to see where your understanding slipped.
A good practice question does more than check recall. The explanation after each answer should say why the correct option is right and name the mistake behind the distractors, which is where most of the learning happens. Short-answer questions work well for checking whether you can explain a concept in your own words.
Exports are a paid feature. Plus ($39/year or $7.99/month) adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export. Pro ($14.99/month) adds a stronger AI model, bulk upload, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for learning management systems. Students get 40% off with a school email.

Frequently asked questions
How many practice questions should I make for one lecture?
Ten to twenty questions is a practical range for a single lecture. A smaller set is easier to repeat, and you can generate another set later for the same material.
What makes a good answer explanation?
A good explanation states why the correct answer is right and names the misconception behind each wrong option. Reading it after you answer is where most of the learning happens.
Can I export my question and answer quizzes?
Yes, but export is a paid feature. PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export are included in Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included in Pro.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start.
