Turn a PowerPoint into a quiz
Upload your .pptx and StudyPDF drafts a quiz from the slides: multiple choice, multi-select, true or false, short answer, matching and fill-in-the-blank.
- Every question cites the slide it came from
Sample output

PowerPoint to quiz: what you actually get
Upload a .pptx and StudyPDF drafts a quiz from it in a couple of minutes. It reads every slide, including the figures, writes the questions in the types you choose, and puts an explanation and the slide it came from on each one.
That last part is the point. A quiz you cannot check is a quiz you cannot trust. If an answer surprises you, open the slide and see where it came from.
What a 40-slide deck turns into
Say a deck has 40 slides on cell respiration and you ask for 12 questions across all six types. You might get a multiple choice question on where the Krebs cycle takes place, a true or false on whether glycolysis needs oxygen, a matching set that pairs each stage with its output, and a fill-in-the-blank on the electron transport chain. Each comes with a short explanation of the right answer and a citation, for example "slide 17".
When a slide has a chart or a diagram, the question can show it: "Using the diagram below, which molecule enters at step 3?" You answer, get feedback straight away, and at the end see your results per concept instead of one score. Ask for a second quiz built only from the concepts you missed. Two or three rounds usually cover a lecture.
For students and for teachers
Students: upload the deck the night before, take the quiz cold, and let the results show what to reread. The same upload also gives you flashcards, a study guide and a timed practice exam, and Bo can explain any question you got wrong using only your slides.
Teachers: upload the deck you taught from, draft a quiz, and edit any question by hand. AI suggestions are applied only when you confirm. Then print it as a blank worksheet with the answer key on its own page, or share the course with your class by one link. Students open it free in any browser, and those who join save their progress.
What it does not do
StudyPDF reads the slides as they are shown. A slide that is only a photo with no words gives the quiz little to work with, and a deck of titles and four-word fragments gives thin questions. If the lecturer explained it out loud and it never reached a slide, it is not in the quiz. Upload your own notes from that lecture next to the deck and the quiz can use both.
It is also not a live classroom game. If you want students to answer inside your slideshow with clickers and a leaderboard, a tool that runs inside PowerPoint does that. StudyPDF makes a quiz to practise with, check against the slides and print. Short answer questions are self-graded against a model answer, so you stay the judge.
Start with one deck
Upload one lecture deck and take the quiz. It takes a couple of minutes and a free account, no card. Free gives you about 4 materials a week and files up to 200 slides.

Questions and answers
How do I make a quiz from a PowerPoint?
Upload the .pptx to StudyPDF, choose the scope, the number of questions and the question types, and get the quiz. Each question has an explanation and cites the slide it came from. Take it online or export it as a worksheet.
Can AI create a quiz from my PowerPoint slides?
Yes. StudyPDF reads every slide, including figures, charts and tables, and drafts questions only from what is on them. Each one cites its slide, so you can check it instead of trusting it.
What question types does it create?
Multiple choice, multi-select, true or false, short answer self-graded against a model answer, matching and fill-in-the-blank. You choose which types to mix.
4 more questions
Does it work with .ppt, Keynote and Google Slides?
Upload a .pptx directly. A PDF export of the slides works too. For an old .ppt, a Keynote file or a Google Slides deck, export it as .pptx or PDF first.
Can I print the quiz or hand it out in class?
Yes. Export a blank worksheet with the answer key on its own page, or a version with the solutions inline. PDF is on every plan. Word export is on Pro and up.
Can I make the PowerPoint quiz interactive?
The quiz is interactive on StudyPDF: you answer, get feedback straight away and see results per concept. It does not run live inside your slideshow. To let a class take it, share the course by one link, which students open free in any browser.
Is there a free PowerPoint to quiz generator?
You can start free. You need a free account, no card. Free gives you about 4 materials a week and files up to 200 slides. Pro gives you more.
Teaching a class? Share the quiz with your students
Edit the draft, confirm the changes you want, and share the course with one link. Students open it free in any browser.
