About the Question Generator
Question Generator reads the text you paste and writes study questions from it. Choose multiple choice with four options, short answer with a model answer, or open discussion questions, and ask for 5 or 10. It is told to use only facts that are in your text, so the questions test what you actually gave it. Use it for revision, reading comprehension worksheets, training material and quizzes for your class or team. Check the questions and answers before you use them. Your text is sent to our AI service and is not stored.

Questions from your own material
Questions that come from a specific text test whether someone has read and understood it. That is more useful for revision and training than general questions, because the quiz matches what you actually taught or what your reader actually read.
Pick the right type
Multiple choice questions cover a lot of ground quickly and are easy to score. Short answer questions need students to write in their own words, which shows real understanding. Discussion questions open up a conversation and have no single correct answer, so they are good for classes and book clubs.
- Multiple choice: quick checks and quizzes
- Short answer: revision and exams
- Discussion: seminars, book clubs, team meetings
Prepare your text
Paste clean text without page numbers or headers. If the passage is long, choose the most important part. The questions follow the order and emphasis of your text, so make sure the text states the key facts clearly.
Review before using
Read every question as a student would. Is there exactly one correct answer? Is the wording clear? Could someone answer it without reading the text? Rewrite or delete questions that fail. Shuffle the options if you want to avoid patterns.
Pair it with other tools
To shorten a long text first, use the AI Summarizer. If a topic is unfamiliar, the Explain It Simply tool gives an easy introduction, and for fun quizzes that need no source text, the Trivia Question Generator is quicker. The Word Counter helps you keep your source passage within the limit.

Frequently asked questions
Does it add facts that are not in my text?
It is told not to. The questions should only use facts from the passage. Still, read each one, and remove any that goes beyond what you gave.
How long can my text be?
Up to 3,000 characters, about 500 words. For a longer text, split it into sections and make questions from each section.
Which type of question should I choose?
Multiple choice is quick to mark. Short answer checks understanding better and shows if a student can explain. Discussion questions are for talking, essays and classes.
Are the answers always right?
Usually, but not always. Check them against your text. Wrong or ambiguous multiple-choice options are the most common problem.
Can I use it for reading comprehension?
Yes. Paste a passage and choose short answer or multiple choice. Add questions of your own for inference and vocabulary.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes. Questions are written in the language of the text.
Can I make a quiz with random facts instead?
For general trivia on any topic, use the Trivia Question Generator, which does not need a source text.
Is my text stored?
No. It is sent to our AI service to write the questions and is not stored. Avoid private or confidential text.
