Turn a PDF exam paper into a quiz, worksheet or flashcards
Drop in a PDF, DOCX or TXT. QExtract finds the questions, the answer options and the answer key, lets you correct anything before you use it, then exports a practice test, a printable worksheet, a Google Form, or an Anki deck. Your documents never leave your computer.
How it works
Four steps, none of which involve uploading anything.
- Drop in your document. PDF, DOCX or TXT. Scanned pages are read with on-device OCR, so a photographed or photocopied paper still works.
- QExtract reads the structure. It detects question numbers, answer options, answer keys, sections and marks — including multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blank, match the following, assertion–reason and case-study questions.
- You review and correct. Everything extracted is shown for editing first. Anything the parser was unsure about is flagged, with the exact words it could not find in your document.
- Export what you need. An interactive quiz, a printable worksheet, an answer sheet, a Google Form, or an Anki or Quizlet deck.
What you can make from one paper
Practice tests, in versions
Build a new paper from your extracted questions following the original's structure — sections, marks and question counts. Up to four versions with questions and options shuffled, and each version's answer key rebuilt to match.
Printable worksheets
Classroom-ready worksheets and bubble answer sheets, in full, half or quarter length.
Flashcards and study decks
Anki and Quizlet decks, plus a built-in study mode that brings back the questions you got wrong sooner and spaces out the ones you know.
Google Forms and LMS formats
Google Forms for online assignment, plus GIFT, QTI, H5P and CSV for Moodle, Canvas and other learning platforms.
Why it runs offline
Most tools in this category upload your document to a server and run it through a language model. That is a problem if the paper is unreleased, if you teach in a district with rules about student material, or if you simply would rather not.
No uploads, by construction
QExtract requests zero host permissions. It is not that it chooses not to send your files — it has no ability to. Parsing runs in the browser and works with the internet disconnected.
No account, no tracking
Nothing to sign up for and no analytics on what you parse. Your review history and study progress stay on your own device and can be cleared in one click.
No AI guessing
Parsing is deterministic, so the same document always gives the same result. When QExtract cannot find something, it flags the question for review rather than inventing an answer.
Built to be accessible
Every screen meets WCAG 2.2 AA, checked automatically before each release — including the quiz player a student actually sits in front of.
Questions
Are my documents uploaded anywhere?
No. Every document is parsed inside your browser on your own computer. QExtract requests no host permissions at all, so it has no ability to send your files anywhere, and it keeps working with the internet disconnected.
Which file formats can it read?
PDF, DOCX and TXT. Scanned PDFs are handled with on-device OCR. You can also import questions from a web page you have open.
What can I export?
An interactive quiz, a printable worksheet, a bubble answer sheet, a Google Form, Anki and Quizlet decks, CSV, GIFT, QTI and H5P.
Is QExtract free?
Yes — free on the Chrome Web Store, with no paywall, no subscription and no account to create.
Does it use AI?
No. QExtract uses deterministic parsing rather than a language model, so the same document always produces the same result and nothing is sent to an AI service. It will leave a question flagged for review rather than invent an answer it cannot find.
Can it make different versions of the same paper?
Yes. It can assemble a new practice paper from your extracted questions and produce up to four versions with the questions and answer options shuffled, with each version's answer key rebuilt to match — so a printed Version A and Version B never share an answer order.
How accurate is the extraction?
Accuracy is measured against a corpus of real exam papers before every release, and the result is published rather than claimed: across the gated papers, 99.6% of extracted content is traceable back to text that is actually in the source document. Extraction quality still depends on the document — clean typed files work best, and scanned or badly encoded PDFs need more review.
