You've got a PDF — a textbook chapter, a research paper, a training manual. You need to test understanding, but you don't have time to write questions. AI can generate a quiz from the content in seconds.
How it works
- Open PDFly's Generate Quiz tool.
- Upload your PDF.
- Choose how many questions you want — 5, 10, 15, or 20.
- The extracted text is sent to PDFly's server, which forwards it to Google Gemini to generate multiple-choice questions.
- Copy the quiz from the results panel.
What the quiz looks like
PDFly's Generate Quiz tool produces multiple-choice questions only — each question comes with four answer options labeled A–D, with the correct answer marked. It doesn't currently generate true/false, fill-in-the-blank, or short-answer questions.
When to use a PDF quiz generator
- Education: Create study guides and practice tests.
- Training: Test employee knowledge after training.
- Self-study: Test your own understanding of material.
- Assessment: Create assessments for any subject.
Limitations
- The extracted document text is capped at 40,000 characters (roughly 10,000 tokens). Longer documents are automatically truncated to the 40,000-character limit before the quiz is generated.
- Quiz questions are generated from the document text only, so anything beyond that limit won't be covered.

Open Generate Quiz ToolFrequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the quiz questions?
The AI generates questions based only on your document's content, but AI-generated questions can still contain errors. For critical assessments, review the questions before use.
Can I choose the number of questions?
Yes — you can choose 5, 10, 15, or 20 questions. Other counts aren't currently supported.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
If the PDF has text, it works. For scanned documents, OCR first.
