Get Quizizz- or Kahoot-style quizzes from your own notes and slides
Upload a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file or photo of a page. DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions from that material, with an explanation for each answer.
Own-material quizzes instead of borrowed question sets
Most people who compare Quizizz, Quizlet and Kahoot want one thing: practice questions built from their own class material rather than someone else's sets. A question about your reading is more useful than a generic one about a topic that only loosely matches your course.
- Questions drawn from your own readings, slides and notes
- Multiple choice, true/false and short answer, each with an explanation
- Free plan: 3 generations per month, studied in the browser
- Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export
Built from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes or photos of pages, and the questions come from what you actually studied.
Question types with explanations
Get multiple choice, true/false and short-answer questions, and read why the correct answer is right before you move on.
Export when you need it
The free plan studies in the browser. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, a Word file, pasted notes or a photo of a textbook page.
Choose question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, and set how many questions you want.
Study or export
Practice in the browser right away, or export to a file format your class or LMS can use on a paid plan.
DeckOwl reads your uploaded file and writes questions from it, then explains each correct answer so you can see where your understanding slipped. Short answer questions push you to recall the idea without choices in front of you, which is closer to what most exams ask.
Start on the free plan with three generations a month and no credit card. When you need more, Plus at $39 a year or $7.99 a month gives unlimited generations and exports, and students get 40% off with a school email.

Frequently asked questions
How many quiz questions should I make for a Macbeth test?
For a review of one act or a few key scenes, 10 to 15 questions is usually enough to show gaps. Use the explanations to see why each wrong answer fails, then retest the scenes you missed.
How should I study a play like Macbeth with quiz questions?
Quiz scene by scene rather than the whole play at once, and include who says a line and what it reveals. Revisit missed questions after a day or two, since spaced repetition helps the details stick.
Can I export these quizzes for my class?
The free plan keeps everything in the browser. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.
Is there a discount for students?
Yes, students get 40% off with a school email. No credit card is needed to start on the free plan.
