Turn your own notes into trivia questions with answers
Upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, each with an explanation of the answer.
Why generate trivia from your own material
Ready-made trivia sheets work for a single game night, but a random trivia generator with answers is more useful when the questions come from content you need to remember. Upload the chapter, lecture slides or notes you are working through, and DeckOwl writes questions about that material with the correct answer marked.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats from the same source
- Explanations that show why the correct answer is right
- Browser practice with no download required on the free plan
- Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV on Plus, with QTI and Moodle XML on Pro
Built from your material
Questions come from the pages you upload, so the trivia matches the topic you are actually studying rather than generic filler.
Answers with explanations
Every question includes the correct answer and a short explanation, so a wrong guess teaches you something instead of just marking it wrong.
Study or export
Practice in the browser, use spaced repetition on flashcards, and export to PDF or DOCX on paid plans, with QTI and Moodle XML on Pro.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, and generate a set.
Quiz yourself or export
Answer in the browser, review the explanations, then export the set if you need a printable copy.
Because each question includes an explanation, the set doubles as practice for a class, a certification or a team that needs to know its facts. Paid plans add PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning platforms.

Frequently asked questions
How many trivia questions should I practice in one session?
Shorter sets are easier to finish and review, so many people start with a small batch and repeat it. Pick a number that leaves time to read each explanation.
What makes a trivia question good for memory?
A useful question has one clear answer and tests a fact you can state from memory, not a vague recognition of a term. Explanations help because they add the reason behind the answer, which makes the fact easier to keep.
Can I export generated trivia questions?
Yes, on paid plans. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and you can start without entering a credit card.
