Turn any notes or slides into trivia questions with AI
Upload a PDF, DOCX, slide deck or photo of a page, and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation. DeckOwl does not host live games with join codes, but the questions it creates can be studied in your browser or exported for your own quiz night.
Why build trivia questions from your own notes
Writing a good trivia round usually means digging through textbooks or slides to find facts worth asking about, then wording each question so there is only one right answer. A trivia maker that reads your own material can draft those questions from the source you already have, and add an explanation to each answer so you can check why it is correct.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions from one upload
- Explanations written for each answer, useful for review after a miss
- Study in the browser on the free plan, with no credit card needed to start
- Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro
Questions from your material
Add lecture slides, chapter notes or a photo of a page, and get questions based on the facts in that text.
Explanations for every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question comes with a short explanation, so missed questions teach something.
Study or export
Practice in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or image of your notes.
Pick a question type
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions, or a mix of them.
Study or export
Work through the quiz in your browser, then export it if you have a Plus or Pro plan.
The output is a set of questions for you to review, not a finished game. You can edit or drop anything that does not fit, then study the set on your own or export it for a class or quiz night. Students with a school email get 40% off Plus or Pro.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a good trivia question?
A good trivia question tests one fact and has a single clear correct answer. Wrong options should be plausible but clearly incorrect to someone who knows the material.
How can I study trivia answers more effectively?
Review questions you missed first, then come back to them after a day or two rather than all at once. Spaced repetition in flashcards helps keep facts in memory longer.
Can people join a live trivia game with a code in DeckOwl?
No, DeckOwl does not run live games or join codes. It creates quizzes and flashcards you can study in the browser, and paid plans let you export them to other tools.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, but no exports. No credit card is needed to start.
