Frequently Asked Questions About Document Quizzing

Get clarity on how our AI processes your files to build effective learning tools.

How does the AI generate questions from my PDF content?

The AI uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand context, extract key concepts, identify relationships between ideas, and formulate well-structured multiple-choice questions based directly on the source text's complexity level.

What specific file types can I upload to create a quiz?

We support major document formats including PDF, DOCX, and PowerPoint (PPTX). You can also upload various image formats (JPG, PNG) containing text, or simply provide a detailed prompt describing the desired quiz topic.

Can I export the generated quiz for offline use or institutional needs?

Absolutely. We provide robust export functionality. You can download quizzes as standard PDF or Word (DOCX) files, or use specialized educational standards like QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for easy import into learning management systems.

Is there a cost associated with using the PDF to quiz feature?

The tool is fundamentally free to use, offering a set number of generation credits upon signup. Users requiring higher volume, faster processing, or access to the most advanced AI model can upgrade to our paid subscription plans.
