Frequently Asked Questions

Clarifying how our document-to-quiz technology works.

How does the AI generate questions and answers from my PDF?

The AI analyzes the text structure, identifies key concepts, definitions, and relationships within the PDF content. It then synthesizes questions (primarily multiple-choice) that test comprehension of these specific extracted facts, ensuring alignment with your source material.

What types of files can I upload to generate assessment content?

We support robust ingestion of PDF documents, Microsoft Word files (.docx), and common image formats (like PNG or JPG) where text is clearly visible. You can also input plain text or detailed prompts.

Can I export the generated quiz for offline use or import into an LMS?

Absolutely. We offer export capabilities for high compatibility. You can download the output as a standard PDF or Word document, or use specialized academic formats like QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML for direct LMS integration.

Is there a cost associated with generating questions from documents?

The tool offers a free tier allowing users to generate a limited number of quizzes using standard credits. For high-volume use, advanced model access, or more credits, we offer a competitive paid subscription plan.
