Frequently Asked Questions About Document Quizzing
Everything you need to know about input, output, and functionality.
How does the AI generate questions from my PDF content?
The AI uses advanced natural language processing (NLP) to parse the structure and content hierarchy within your document. It identifies declarative sentences, definitions, and key relationships, automatically converting these into valid question stems and plausible distractors.
What file formats does the generator accept for upload?
We currently support PDF, DOCX (Microsoft Word), and common image formats (like JPG/PNG) for visual content extraction. You can also simply paste raw text or type a descriptive prompt.
Can I export the resulting quizzes for offline use?
Absolutely. We offer several professional export formats, including standard PDF and Word (DOCX), as well as educational standards like QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, making integration with various learning management systems simple.
Is there a cost associated with using the AI quiz generator?
The tool is free to start, allowing you to generate a limited number of quizzes. We also offer a paid plan which unlocks higher limits on generation credits and grants access to our most advanced, state-of-the-art AI model.
