AI import or spreadsheet import, and which to use

Wayground added an AI feature that reads a worksheet or a PDF and drafts questions for you inside the app. It is genuinely useful for a fast first pass. The catch is that the questions live inside Wayground, tied to that one activity, and you review them there or not at all. For a Friday game that is fine. For a question set you will use again, want to edit carefully, and might also run in another tool, it is limiting.

Generating the questions first and importing them by spreadsheet flips that. You get a set you have read and edited, saved as your own file. You import it into Wayground when the class is on Wayground, and the same file goes into a Kahoot template or a Google Form when it is not. The work of writing the questions happens once. That is the difference between a quiz you made and a quiz you own.

So the honest guidance is simple. Want a quick draft and you are staying in Wayground? Use its AI import. Building a set you will reuse, edit, and move between platforms? Generate the questions here, keep them as plain text, and import the spreadsheet. If you want a printable version with a full answer key from the same file, our core PDF to quiz converter produces that too.

PDF to Quizizz questions people ask

Can you import a PDF into Quizizz?

Quizizz, now called Wayground, has an AI feature that can read a worksheet or PDF and draft questions, but the reliable bulk route is its spreadsheet import. You generate multiple choice questions from your PDF, drop them into Wayground's spreadsheet template, and import. The spreadsheet path gives you a reviewed, editable question set that you also keep for Kahoot, a Google Form, or your LMS.

Is Quizizz now Wayground?

Yes. Quizizz rebranded to Wayground in 2025, so the same platform you may know as Quizizz now appears as Wayground. The quiz features, the reports, and the spreadsheet import all carried over. If you search for a PDF to Quizizz converter you are looking for the same import path that now lives under the Wayground name.

How do I import questions into Wayground from a spreadsheet?

In the creation lobby choose Import worksheets or questions, then pick Spreadsheet and upload an Excel or Google Sheets file that follows Wayground's template. Wayground reads the rows, shows the questions, and lets you delete or edit any before you click Continue and publish the quiz. Format your generated questions to match the template columns first.

What does the Wayground spreadsheet import allow?

The import reads plain text only, so any bold, color, or other rich formatting is stripped, and a single question body may contain at most one image. Fill the template with the question, the options, and the correct answer, keep the text plain, and the import maps each row to a question cleanly.

Why not just use Wayground's own AI to read the PDF?

You can, and for a quick draft it works. The reason to generate the questions first and import them is control and reuse. You get a set you have reviewed, edited, and keep as your own file, which you can also import into Kahoot, a Google Form, or your LMS. One generated question set feeds every platform instead of being locked inside one.

Can I reuse the same questions in other quiz tools?

Yes, and that is the main advantage of generating them yourself. The questions export in formats that fit Wayground's spreadsheet import, Kahoot's template, a Google Form, and most learning platforms. Build the set once from your PDF and send it wherever the class is that day rather than rebuilding it in each tool. See our Quizizz alternative comparison for an honest look at where each option fits.
