QExtract – Quiz Maker & Test Generator from PDF, DOCX

Turn an exam paper into a quiz, a worksheet, or a set of flashcards — in about a minute. Drop in a PDF, DOCX or TXT. QExtract finds the questions, the answer options and the answer key, shows you everything so you can correct anything before you use it, then exports a practice test, a printable worksheet, a Google Form, or an Anki or Quizlet deck. Your papers are read inside your browser, on your own computer, and are never uploaded. There is no account to create, and it keeps working with the internet disconnected. Built for teachers, tutors, students and parents who already have the material and just need it in a usable form. WHAT IT DOES - Extract questions from source material Detect item text, options, answer keys, common numbering styles, scanned labels, multi-column layouts, and mixed formats. Handles US-style answer choices (A B C D, and the F G H J K sets used by many state tests) as well as board-exam papers with sections and per-question marks. - Review before using Preview every extracted item, edit text, adjust options, set correct answers, remove low-quality results, and attach or remove question images. Anything the parser was unsure about is flagged with the reason it was unsure, and you can narrow a large set down to just those, or to items that closely repeat another one. Add a question the paper did not give, split one in two, merge two into one, and take any of it back with Undo, Redo and a History. For a PDF, open the question on its own page, adjust where it was read from, and apply the text read again. Where a printed question could not be read cleanly, a note says so in its place and can show you the spot on the page. - Keep your work The set you are reviewing is saved on this device as you edit it, listed so you can continue where you left off, and several saved sets can be opened together as one new set. One backup file holds everything QExtract keeps on this device, to restore on another computer or delete at any time. - Build a new practice paper Assemble a fresh paper from what you have extracted, following the structure of the original — sections, marks per question, and question counts. Choose full, half or quarter length, and create up to four versions of the same paper with the questions and answer choices shuffled and the answer key kept correct for each version. - Run practice sessions Launch an interactive player directly from the reviewed set, with maths rendered properly rather than flattened into text. - Study over time Practise a set across days instead of once. Questions you find hard come back sooner, ones you know move further away, and your progress is remembered between sessions. It stays on your computer and can be cleared at any time. - Evaluate responses locally Upload an answer key and the students' response files, one or a whole class at once, to score objective answers and review descriptive answers in the browser. A class is shown as one table, with the questions most often missed, and can be saved as a spreadsheet file. - Use it as an app on a phone or tablet The same QExtract also runs as an installable web app at qextract.netlify.app/app/, for people who do not use Chrome extensions. It works offline after the first visit. - Create teaching material Generate printable worksheets, answer sheets, flashcards, and downloadable classroom packages from reviewed content. - Share with classroom workflows Prepare reviewed content for forms, learning platforms, study decks, offline worksheets, and archive bundles. - Keep files private Parsing and generation run locally in your browser. Your documents are never uploaded, and the extension requests no standing access to any website. WHAT IT READS Open a question paper saved as a PDF, as a Word document, or as plain text; the file picker can open straight in your Downloads folder, where most papers are. Scanned papers are read using on-device OCR. You can also bring in a question set you exported from another tool, import from a web page you have open, and upload several files at once so they merge into a single bank. WHAT IT MAKES - An interactive quiz you can sit - Printable worksheets and bubble answer sheets - A new practice paper in up to four versions, each answer key rebuilt to match - Google Forms - Flashcard decks for the study apps students already use - Standard question-bank files for learning platforms such as Moodle and Canvas - A portable copy of your own question bank, to reopen later - A study mode that brings back what you got wrong sooner IT READS REAL EXAM PAPERS, NOT JUST TIDY ONES A question paper's meaning lives in its layout. Numbering restarts at every section. Options are labelled a dozen different ways. Fractions are drawn as vector strokes with no characters behind them. "Attempt either 21A or 21B" is two questions, not one. More than a hundred exam paper layouts are tested before every release. Those include board papers that declare sections and marks, papers that offer a choice between two questions in the same slot, papers whose numbering restarts with a section prefix, answer choices labelled by several different conventions, assertion-and-reason items, case studies built around a shared passage, and statement lists written inside a single question. Fractions and square roots are rebuilt from the shapes drawn on the page when there are no characters there to read. NO AI GUESSING QExtract parses deterministically rather than running your paper through a language model. The same document always gives the same result, and nothing is sent to an AI service. Where it cannot find something, it flags the question for review with the reason instead of inventing an answer. Accuracy is measured against real exam papers before every release and published rather than claimed: across the tested papers, 99.9% of extracted content is traceable back to text that is actually in the source document.
