Frequently Asked Questions

Answers regarding file processing and feature access.

How exactly does the AI generate questions from my PDF?

The AI utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) to identify core concepts, key terms, definitions, and relationships within your text. It then structures this information into valid multiple-choice formats, ensuring that distractors (incorrect options) are plausible but factually wrong according to the source document.

What types of files can I upload for PDF MCQ generation?

We support robust input formats including PDF, DOCX, PPTX (PowerPoint), and various image formats (PNG, JPG). This flexibility ensures you can convert almost any existing educational material you possess.

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

Absolutely. We support multiple export standards crucial for educators and serious students, including ready-to-print PDF, editable Word (DOCX), QTI 2.1 format for interoperability, and Moodle XML.

Is the capability to generate MCQs from PDFs free to use?

The core functionality is available for free, allowing you to generate quizzes and access basic explanations. Our paid plans unlock higher generation limits and access to our most advanced, context-aware AI model for superior question quality.
