Frequently Asked Questions About Document-Based Quizzing

Get answers about file compatibility, AI logic, and exporting options.

How does the AI accurately generate questions from my PDF?

Our AI uses advanced Natural Language Understanding (NLU) models trained specifically on educational assessment structures. It identifies core concepts, definitions, and relationships within the document text to formulate varied question stems and plausible distractors.

What file types can I upload to generate custom quizzes?

We support PDF documents (our primary focus), Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), and common image formats (.jpg, .png) where text extraction is possible.

Can I export the AI-generated quizzes for use outside the platform?

Absolutely. We offer comprehensive export capabilities, including printable PDF, editable Word (DOCX), QTI 2.1 (ideal for many LMS systems), and Moodle XML formats, ensuring compatibility wherever you need to assess knowledge.

Is the PDF quiz generator tool completely free to use?

We offer a generous free tier that allows you to experience the core functionality. For unlimited generation credits and access to our most advanced, high-capacity AI models, users can upgrade to our paid subscription plans.
