Turn your notes into trivia questions with AI
Upload a PDF, slides or notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations. Study free in your browser.
Why a trivia creator built on your notes works better
If you came here to find a trivia creator, the useful version is one that writes questions from the material you already have. Generic trivia covers topics you may never need, while a quiz built from your lecture slides tests the dates, names and terms your exam will ask about.
- Works from your own PDFs, slides, notes and photographed pages
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question formats
- Explanations included so every miss becomes a lesson
- Free to start with no credit card needed
Questions from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX files, slides, plain text or photos of pages, and get quiz questions drawn from what you actually need to learn.
Explanations on every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you something.
Study or export
Take quizzes in the browser on the free plan. Plus and Pro add exports for PDF, DOCX, Anki, Moodle XML and QTI 2.1.
How it works

Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, text file or a photo of a page.
Choose question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then generate the set.
Quiz yourself
Answer the questions, read the explanations and repeat the ones you missed.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should I make for one chapter?
Start with a short set of 10 to 20 questions so you can finish it in one sitting. Retake the questions you missed the next day, since spacing out review helps memory more than cramming one long quiz.
What is the best way to study trivia-style questions for a history exam?
Focus on causes, dates and people rather than isolated facts, and say the answer out loud before checking it. Explanations help most when you rewrite them in your own words.
Can I export my quizzes to Moodle or Word?
Yes, but exports are paid features. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 for learning management systems.
Is there a discount for students?
Students get 40% off with a school email address. You can start on the free plan without a credit card.
