Frequently Asked Questions About AI Quiz Generation

Everything you need to know about file processing and export capabilities.

How does the AI generate questions from my PDF?

The AI uses sophisticated Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to identify key concepts, definitions, procedures, and relationships within the text. It then structures these identified facts into various question types, primarily multiple-choice, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the source document.

What file types can I upload to generate my exam?

We support the most common academic formats: PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), and standard image files (like JPG or PNG) where text is clearly visible.

Can I export the generated quiz for offline use or LMS integration?

Yes. You have comprehensive export options, including standard PDF and Word (DOCX) formats for simple review. For formal assessment management systems, we support QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports.

What is the difference between the free plan and the paid plan?

The free plan allows you to get started immediately with basic generation credits. The paid plan unlocks higher generation credit limits, grants access to our most advanced and nuanced AI model for superior question quality, and provides prioritized processing.
