Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers regarding our document processing and quiz creation capabilities.

How does the AI generate questions from my PDF?

The AI processes the text within your PDF, identifying key concepts, definitions, relationships, and primary factual statements. It then structures these concepts into various question formats, ensuring the complexity matches the source material's depth, prioritizing topics that appear most frequently or prominently.

What file types can I upload to generate quizzes?

You can upload PDFs, Microsoft Word documents (DOCX), PowerPoint files (PPT), and various image formats (like JPG or PNG). Alternatively, you can skip uploads entirely and input a direct text prompt describing the subject matter you need quizzed on.

Can I export the AI-generated quizzes for offline use?

Absolutely. We support robust export functionality. You can download your quizzes immediately as a standard PDF for simple printing, as a DOCX file for editing, or in specialized assessment formats like QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, which are compatible with many Learning Management Systems (LMS).

Is the PDF-to-quiz generation functionality truly free?

Yes, basic usage is free. You can generate quizzes from your documents using the standard AI model at no cost, subject to daily generation limits. Access to higher credit volumes and our more advanced, higher-accuracy AI model requires subscribing to our paid plan.
