❓Q&A Generator from PDF — Create Questions & Answers Automatically
Writing good exam questions from a textbook takes hours. You have to re-read chapters, identify what is worth testing, phrase the question clearly, and write a correct answer. Do that for 20 questions and it is a full afternoon of work. This tool does the same thing in about 30 seconds.
Upload any PDF and the algorithm reads the content, identifies the most important sentences and facts, and generates questions in the format you choose. Multiple choice questions come with four plausible options and the correct answer marked. Short answer questions come with concise model answers. True/False questions come with explanations. Essay questions come with structured model answers covering the key points.
Everything runs entirely in your browser using PDF.js for text extraction and a sentence-scoring algorithm for question generation. No API call, no server, no data sent anywhere. Your PDF never leaves your device.

Short Answer
Open-ended questions with concise model answers. Best for testing understanding and recall on specific facts.
True / False

Essay Questions
Higher-order thinking questions with structured model answers. Best for testing deep understanding and analysis.
💡Tips for Better Results
- Use text-based PDFs: The tool extracts the text layer from your PDF. Scanned image PDFs need OCR first — use the OCR PDF tool to add a text layer, then generate questions.
- More pages = more questions: The algorithm samples up to 15 pages. Longer PDFs with more content produce more varied questions. For very long textbooks, split by chapter first.
- Hard difficulty = deeper questions: Easy questions test basic recall. Hard questions test analysis and application. Use Mixed for a balanced set covering all levels.
- MCQ is best for importable quizzes: The MCQ format downloads in a structured format you can lightly reformat for Google Forms, Kahoot, Quizlet, and most LMS platforms.
- Review before using for exams: The algorithm selects the most important-looking sentences. Read through the questions and edit any that need adjustment before using for formal assessments.
