Turn a PowerPoint into a quiz.
To turn a PowerPoint into a quiz, upload the .pptx file to QuizForge, pick a question count from 5 to 50 or more, choose basic, mixed, or advanced difficulty, and generate. About 30 seconds later you have a quiz built from your slides: multiple-choice and true/false questions, each with an explanation of the correct answer. QuizForge, powered by Claude AI, reads both the text on your slides and the speaker notes underneath them — which matters, because slides are often bullet fragments while the notes hold the real substance. Files up to 20MB are supported, which covers most decks. You can edit any question before sharing. Quiz takers open a link and start — no account needed — and teachers can assign the quiz to a class with a due date. The free plan includes 2 quizzes per month; you only need to create an account, no credit card required.
How to make a quiz from slides
Four stepsUpload your .pptx file.
Drag the deck into the generator on the homepage. Lecture slides, training decks, revision slides — anything up to 20MB. If you have an older .ppt file, open it in PowerPoint and save it as .pptx first.
Set the shape of the quiz.
Choose 5 to 50 or more questions and a difficulty: basic, mixed, or advanced. A single lecture deck usually maps neatly to one quiz.
Claude AI reads slides and notes.
QuizForge reads the text on every slide and the speaker notes beneath them, then identifies the concepts, definitions, and facts worth testing.
Review, assign, or share.
In about 30 seconds the quiz is ready. Edit anything, share it with a link — takers need no account, and leaderboards are included — assign it to a class with a due date, or export it as a PDF.
What to know about slide decks
Before you uploadSlides are sparse on purpose
A slide compresses ten minutes of lecture into five bullets. That is fine: QuizForge reads the speaker notes too, where the full sentences usually live. Decks with rich notes produce richer questions.
Tip: notes count as content.
Old .ppt files need one save
QuizForge accepts the modern .pptx format. If your deck is a legacy .ppt, open it in PowerPoint and use File, then Save As, choosing .pptx. Takes ten seconds and nothing else changes.
Tip: .ppt to .pptx via Save As.
Image-only slides carry no text
A slide that is one big picture gives the AI little to read. If the key content is a photographed whiteboard or a page snapshot, upload that image separately — QuizForge accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP too.
Tip: upload picture slides as images.
One lecture, one quiz
A semester mega-deck makes a shallow quiz. Split it by lecture or topic and generate a quiz for each. Media-heavy decks can also brush the 20MB limit; splitting solves that as well.
Tip: split big decks by topic.
Can students turn lecture slides into practice tests?
Yes, and it is one of the most common ways QuizForge gets used. If your professor posts slides after each lecture, you already have exam-shaped source material. Upload the deck, generate a quiz, and test yourself instead of re-reading. Answering questions — active recall — beats passive review, and every question comes with an explanation, so a miss becomes a mini-lesson.
A workflow that holds up through a semester: one quiz per lecture during the term, then a harder pass — advanced difficulty — over the decks that hurt before the exam. The full method, with study-schedule suggestions, is in the guide: Turn lecture slides into practice tests.
Common questions
PowerPoint editionDoes it read my speaker notes?
Yes. QuizForge reads slide text and speaker notes. If your notes are where the explanations live, that detail ends up reflected in the questions.
