This tool reads a PDF and generates multiple-choice questions from it using Google's Gemini AI model — built for students turning lecture notes, a textbook chapter, or a study guide into practice questions without writing them by hand. Choose how many questions you want, how difficult they should be, and whether to include an answer key.
Like Summarize and Translate, this tool isn't fully private and says so clearly: your PDF's text is extracted locally in your browser, and that extracted text is sent to Google's Gemini API to generate questions, since this depth of reading comprehension isn't something an on-device model handles well yet. Only the extracted text is sent, never the file itself.
Difficulty genuinely changes what kind of question you get, not just the wording: easy questions test direct recall of facts stated plainly in the text, medium questions require connecting two or more points together, and hard questions lean on inference and include closer, more plausible wrong answers — meaningfully harder to guess by elimination alone.
Questions appear on screen as a real quiz you can click through, with each answer hidden until you choose to reveal it — useful for self-testing right in the browser before you ever download anything. When you're ready, download the quiz as a plain text file or as a formatted PDF with the questions first and the answer key (if you asked for one) in a separate section at the end.
This is meant for genuine self-testing rather than passively re-reading notes, which research on studying consistently finds is a weaker way to retain material — actively recalling an answer, checking it, and noting what you got wrong sticks better than highlighting a page for the third time. It works equally well on a dense textbook chapter or a shorter set of lecture notes, and generating several quizzes from the same material with different difficulty settings is a reasonable way to build up a larger practice set over time.
How to Generate MCQs from PDF
- Upload your PDF (up to 50 pages or 100,000 characters).
- Set the number of questions, difficulty, and whether to include an answer key.
- Tap "Generate MCQs" and review the quiz on screen, revealing answers as you go.
- Download the quiz as a .txt file or a formatted PDF.
Frequently asked questions
Can I control how many questions are generated?
Yes, choose any number from 1 to 20 questions.
What's the difference between easy, medium, and hard?
Easy tests direct recall of stated facts, medium requires connecting multiple points in the text, and hard leans on inference with closer, more plausible wrong answers.
Can I see the questions before downloading anything?
Yes, the generated quiz displays on screen first, with each answer hidden until you tap to reveal it, before you download anything.
Does the answer key come with the questions, or separately?
In the downloaded files, the answer key is a separate section at the end, after all the questions — not mixed in alongside each one.
Is my document uploaded to a server?
The original PDF is never uploaded — text is extracted locally in your browser, and only that extracted text is sent to Google's Gemini API to generate the questions.
Is there a document length limit?
Yes, up to 50 pages or 100,000 characters, the same cap used by the other AI tools on this site.
