What our research says

PDFToQuiz

PDFToQuiz does one job, turning a document into a graded quiz, and does it across more input formats than most competitors, including URLs and slides, not just PDFs. The free tier's 5-page limit is tight enough that most real course material will hit the Pro paywall fast.

Pros

  • Accepts PDF, Word, PowerPoint, URL and plain text as input
  • Explains wrong answers instead of just marking them incorrect
  • Supports more than 40 languages

Cons

  • Free tier's 5-page limit is too small for most full documents
  • No company name or location disclosed

Quizgecko

Solid for the narrow job of converting source material into gradable questions, and the LMS export is why teachers pick it over generic chatbots. Ask a chatbot for questions and you get text; ask Quizgecko and you get an assignment.

Pros

  • Output formats are assignment-ready, not just raw question text
  • Handles several source types — pasted text, uploads, URLs — not only typed prompts
  • Distinct student and educator plans instead of one generic subscription
  • Free tier is enough to judge question quality on your own material

Cons

  • Generated distractors on technical subjects still need a human pass
  • API access is reserved for the higher business and enterprise tiers
  • Site is behind an aggressive bot filter, so plan details are awkward to check before signup
  • Free plan quota is small enough that regular use forces an upgrade quickly
