Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our document-to-quiz technology.
How does the AI convert my uploaded documents into questions?
Our AI utilizes advanced natural language processing (NLP) to analyze text structure, identify core concepts, definitions, and relationships within your PDF or DOCX. It then dynamically generates plausible distractors (incorrect options) and detailed explanations for the correct answer based on contextual understanding.
What file formats can I upload to generate a quiz?
We support uploading common academic formats, including PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.docx) files, and various image files containing text (like lecture slides or handwritten notes).
Can I export the generated quiz for use outside of your platform?
Yes. We offer robust export options tailored for educators and serious students. You can download assessments in standard PDF or Word (.docx) format, or use specialized formats like QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for easy import into Learning Management Systems (LMS).
Is the AI PDF question generator tool completely free to use?
We offer a powerful free tier that allows you to test the system and generate a limited number of quizzes. For intensive usage, access to our most advanced AI model, and higher generation limits, we offer premium paid plans.
