Step by step: from your notes to a score

  1. 1

    Add your material

    Upload a PDF, Word doc, or slide deck, paste your notes, or drop in a topic. You can also pull questions from a YouTube lecture or import an Anki or Quizlet deck. The AI reads whatever you give it — handwritten photos included.

    Add your material
  2. 2

    Set your options

    Choose how many questions you want, the difficulty, and the question types (multiple choice, true/false, short answer, and more). Turn on web search if you want the AI to pull in current context beyond your file.

    Set your options
  3. 3

    Generate and review

    The AI analyzes your content and streams questions in a few seconds. Each one is drawn from the concepts your material actually emphasizes, so the quiz reads like your real course rather than generic trivia.

  4. 4

    Take it and learn from your misses

    Answer the quiz and get instant feedback with an explanation for every question. Miss one and the tool tells you exactly what you got wrong, then keeps bringing that concept back until it holds.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a quiz from a PDF or my notes?
Upload the PDF (or paste your notes) into the creator, choose how many questions and which types you want, then click generate. The AI reads your file, extracts the key concepts, and writes questions from them in a few seconds — no manual formatting needed.
Is the AI quiz generator free to use?
Yes. The free plan includes a monthly allowance of AI generations, so you can create and take quizzes at no cost. If you need more generations or advanced settings, a premium plan raises the limits.
What file formats can I upload?
PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint slides, plain text, and images (including photos of handwritten notes). You can also paste text directly, use a YouTube video link, or import an Anki .apkg or Quizlet deck.
What question types can it generate?
Multiple choice, true/false, short answer, fill-in-the-blank, and essay questions. You pick which types you want before generating, and you can mix them within a single quiz.
How accurate are the questions?
Questions are generated from the content you provide, so accuracy tracks your source material. The AI self-checks each question, and every question comes with an explanation you can review — so you can catch and re-generate anything that looks off before you study from it.
Do I need an account to create a quiz?
You can start creating a quiz right away. An account lets you save your quizzes, track your scores over time, and pick up where you left off across devices.
