- Is PDFQuiz free?
- Yes, to start. You can generate a 5-question quiz from any PDF without creating an account. A free account adds 3 full quizzes of 10 questions each. Paid plans start at $5 a month billed yearly and remove the limits.
- Do I need an account to make a quiz?
- No. The first quiz runs without signing up. You need a free account to save a quiz, share it by link, study it as flashcards or keep your results.
- How many questions can I generate from one PDF?
- The demo without an account writes 5 questions. A free account makes 10-question quizzes from the first 5 pages of a document. Paid plans let you set the number yourself: up to 300 questions per quiz on Plus, 500 on Pro and 1,000 on Elite.
- What question types can it create?
- Six: single choice (A, B, C, D), multiple answer, true or false, fill in the blank, matching and open ended. Every question comes with the correct answer marked and a short explanation. Open-ended questions are available on the Pro plan and up.
- What files can I upload?
- 16 formats: PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, ODT, ODP, RTF, TXT, JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC, BMP, TIF and TIFF. You can upload up to 10 files at once, 20 MB each. Scanned pages and photos are read with OCR.
- What do I get out of it?
- An online quiz you can take yourself or share by link, and a flashcard set built from the same questions. Depending on the plan you can also download the quiz as a PDF with the answer key or export it to Anki.
- Which languages does it support?
- The quiz is written in the language of your document. On paid plans you can pick a different output language from a list of more than 180. The site itself is available in 28 languages, including Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Turkish and Arabic.
- How does the quiz generator work?
- Upload a document and the AI reads it from the first page to the last, picks out the facts, terms and ideas worth testing, and writes questions with the correct answer marked and a short explanation for each one. You review the draft, edit or delete anything you disagree with, then take the quiz, share it by link or download it. The whole run takes seconds for a handout and about a minute for a long chapter.
- Can I generate a quiz from a PDF without signing up?
- Yes. The generator on this page writes a 5-question quiz from any PDF, Word file, slide deck, text file or photo without an account. Create a free account when you want to save the quiz, share it or make longer ones.
- Can I edit the questions the generator writes?
- Yes. Every question, answer option, correct answer and explanation is editable, and any question can be deleted. The AI gives you a first draft grounded in your document; you decide what ends up in the final quiz. Question editing is part of the Pro plan.
- Can students take the quiz online?
- Yes. Generate a link, send it to your class or team, and each person takes the quiz on their own device. You see every answer and score in your dashboard. A timer per question and shuffled question order are available for live tests. Sharing by link is part of the Pro plan.
- Is the quiz generator accurate?
- Questions are drawn from the text of the file you upload, not from general knowledge about the topic, so accuracy is high for clear, text-based documents. Scanned pages and photos are read with OCR, and a clean scan gives the same result as a born-digital PDF. You can review and edit every question before you use it.
