Why generate trivia from your own material

Most free trivia generators pull random questions from a general pool, which rarely matches what you need to remember. A free trivia generator that works from your own notes or slides builds questions around your actual content, so a quiz on your history chapter tests history chapter facts.

  • Works with PDFs, slides, notes, and photos of pages
  • Multiple choice, true/false, and short answer questions
  • Explanations for every answer
  • Free plan: 3 generations a month, study in the browser
Example trivia questions with answers

True or false: honey can stay edible for a very long time when it is sealed properly.True. Its low moisture and acidity keep spoilage microbes from growing, which is why it lasts so long.
Which element has the chemical symbol Na?Sodium. The symbol comes from its Latin name, natrium.
What is the capital of Australia?Canberra. It was chosen as a compromise between Sydney and Melbourne, the two largest rival cities.
How many bones does a typical adult human body have?206. Babies have more bones than adults because some of them fuse together as the body grows.

How it works

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes, or a photo of a page.

Choose the question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false, or short answer.

Play and review

Quiz yourself in the browser and read the explanation after each answer.

DeckOwl reads your file, writes questions with answer choices, and adds an explanation for each answer. You can run the quiz in your browser on the free plan, which includes 3 generations a month. Paid plans remove the monthly limit and add export options.

For trivia-style practice, the explanations matter as much as the answer, because they turn a lucky guess into something you can remember next time.

Frequently asked questions

How many trivia questions should I make for one study session?

About 15 to 25 questions works well for a focused session. That range is enough to cover a chapter without making you lose focus before you review missed items.

What makes a good trivia question for studying?

A good question tests one fact that matters and has a single clearly correct answer. Explanations help because they connect the answer to the reason it is true.

Can I export the questions?

Exports to PDF, DOCX, and Anki are on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports are on Pro at $14.99/month.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
