Frequently Asked Questions About Document Quiz Generation

Get clarity on how our AI tool works and what formats it supports.

How does the AI generate questions from my PDF?

The AI uses natural language processing (NLP) to scan your uploaded document, identify core concepts, relationships between topics, and stated learning goals. It then synthesizes these into valid multiple-choice questions, ensuring the difficulty level matches the source material's complexity.

What types of files can I upload to generate a quiz?

We support common academic file formats including PDF, DOCX, and PowerPoint files (PPTX). Additionally, you can upload various image formats (JPG, PNG) if your source material is scanned or visual.

Can I export the AI-generated quiz for offline use or import into my LMS?

Absolutely. We provide robust export capabilities. You can download the results as a standard PDF or Word (DOCX) file. For institutional use, we fully support QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML formats.

Is the tool free to use, or are there paid features?

The basic functionality to create quizzes is available for free, allowing you to test the quality of the AI output. Our paid plans unlock higher generation limits and access to our most advanced, high-capacity AI model.
