Make a trivia quiz from your own notes in minutes
Reviews can show you what other tools do, but your own material is the real test. Upload a PDF, slide deck or photo of notes and DeckOwl writes questions with explanations.
What to look for beyond the reviews
Reading trivia maker reviews can help you narrow down tools, but most reviews describe generic question banks rather than the facts in your own lessons. A quiz built from your notes tests exactly what you need to know.

Free plans study 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 the slides, handout or notes you want to review for your trivia night or class.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the set.
Check and study
Read each explanation, fix anything you want to change, and practice until the answers stick.
Look for three things: whether the tool accepts your file types, whether each question includes an explanation, and whether you can export the questions to the format your class or game requires. Free plans limit generations and keep exports off, so check those limits before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
How many trivia questions should I study at once?
Start with 10 to 20 questions from one topic so you can review each explanation carefully. Mix in questions from other topics once the first set feels familiar.
Is trivia study better with explanations or just answers?
Explanations help you remember why an answer is correct, which makes it easier to recall in a new question. Answer-only review tends to work only for the exact wording you practiced.
Can I export my trivia quiz?
Yes, but export is a paid feature. 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. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, which includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser.
