Turn any PDF into a quiz in seconds
Reading your notes again is not the same as testing yourself. Generate Questions turns lecture notes, textbook chapters, training manuals, and study guides into a quiz built from the actual text. Pick multiple-choice with four options, quick true-or-false checks, or open-ended questions that need a short written answer. Each set gives you five questions, and every answer stays hidden until you tap Show answer, so you can quiz yourself honestly. Want more? Make the questions harder, switch to another type, or ask for changes in the chat. You can also create the quiz in any of 16 languages. Only the text of your PDF is used, and only to build your quiz. Copy the questions or download them as a text file for flashcards or a class handout.

Generate Questions FAQ
Is the question generator free?
Yes. Each quiz uses one of your 3 free advanced uses per day, and each refinement in the chat uses one more. Free works with PDFs up to 15 pages, which fits most chapters, lecture notes, and handouts. There are no ads on the page to distract you while you study.
Is my PDF kept private?
Only the text of your PDF is used, and only to create your questions. The text is read in your browser and sent over a secure connection, and temporary data is removed after processing. Your quiz stays in your browser tab until you copy or download it.
Are the questions and answers accurate?
Questions and answers come from your document's text, so they stay on topic and match what you studied. Because the answer is right there in the source, you can check any question against the page in seconds. If a set feels too easy, tap Make the questions harder or ask the chat for a tougher version.
Can I make multiple-choice questions for exam prep?
Yes. Choose Multiple-choice to get five questions with four options each and a hidden answer. Tap Generate more multiple-choice questions for another five drawn from different facts in the PDF. Teachers can copy the set into a worksheet, and learners can test themselves before a quiz or final exam.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Generate Questions runs in Safari, Chrome, and other modern browsers on iPhone, Android, tablets, Mac, and Windows, with nothing to install. Quizzing yourself on a phone is handy on the bus or between classes, since each answer opens with a single tap.
How many pages can I turn into questions?
Free handles PDFs up to 15 pages per quiz, enough for a chapter, a lecture, or a training module. To build quizzes from a full course, split the material into chapters with Split PDF and create a separate set for each one, which also makes revision easier.
What if the tool finds no text in my PDF?
That means the PDF is a scan or photo, so the words are part of an image. Run it through OCR PDF first to make the text readable, then upload the new file here and generate your questions as usual. Printed handouts and scanned worksheets work well this way.
What else can help me study a PDF?
Start with Summarize PDF to get the key points of a chapter, then come back here to test yourself. If one topic is still unclear, Chat with PDF lets you ask things like "Explain this term" and get answers from the same document.
