Quiz Generator From PDF
If your study material or lesson content already exists as a PDF, there is no need to retype it anywhere. Ontimeo's PDF quiz generator reads the file directly — text, headings, and all — and produces a set of questions based on what is actually in the document, so the quiz matches your source material exactly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upload a scanned PDF, not just a digital one?
Yes — Ontimeo uses OCR to read scanned pages when a PDF has no selectable text layer.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes, uploads are capped at a reasonable size to keep processing fast — most lecture notes and chapters fit comfortably within it.
Will the quiz match my PDF exactly?
The AI writes questions based on the concepts and facts found in your PDF, so the quiz reflects the actual content you uploaded.
