Multiple choice with distractors
The AI reads your document's text and writes multiple choice questions with plausible wrong answers based on the source material — not generic filler. Set exactly how many you want for each session.

OneClickPDF's AI Question Generator turns any PDF into a ready-made set of quiz questions in seconds. Upload your document, pick the formats you need — multiple choice, true/false, short answer, or flashcards — and choose how many. Your browser extracts the text from the PDF, and only that plain text is sent to the Google Gemini API to generate questions that match your content. Access is a simple $0.99 day pass with no subscription and no account — far cheaper than the monthly plans charged by ChatPDF or Quizlet.
How it works
How to Generate Questions from a PDF in 3 Steps
Upload a PDF, choose your question types and count, then copy or download the questions the AI writes from your document's text.
Step 1: Upload Your PDF
Drop your PDF onto the page or click to browse. The tool reads the text from your document locally inside your browser — the PDF file itself is not uploaded. From this extracted text, the AI will build your questions.
Step 2: Choose Your Question Types and Count
Pick the formats you want — multiple choice, true/false, short answer, or flashcards — and set how many of each, up to 20 questions per run. When you generate, only the extracted plain text is sent to the Google Gemini API, which uses it to write questions that match your document's content.
Step 3: Copy or Download Your Questions
Your generated questions appear in seconds, grouped by type with answers you can reveal. Copy them to your clipboard, or download them as a PDF or plain text file to drop into a quiz platform, an LMS, or a study sheet. No signup and no waiting.
What the AI Question Generator Includes
Four question formats, custom counts, and copy or download options — all from a single PDF, powered by Google Gemini.
True/false and short answer
Generate true/false statements drawn from the factual content of your PDF for quick comprehension checks, plus open-ended short answer prompts that test deeper recall and critical thinking.
Flashcards from key concepts
Create two-sided flashcard pairs from the key terms, concepts, and definitions in your PDF — ideal for spaced-repetition study. Generate quiz questions and flashcards from the same document in one run.
Custom question counts
Mix and match formats and set a custom count for each, up to 20 questions per run. You control the quantity for every session, so you get exactly the practice set you need.
Powered by Google Gemini
Your browser extracts the text from the PDF, and that plain text is sent to the Google Gemini API to produce accurate, context-aware questions. The PDF file itself is not uploaded — only the extracted text is processed.
Copy or download instantly
Generated questions appear grouped by type with answers you can reveal. Copy everything to your clipboard, or download as a formatted PDF or plain text file to drop straight into a quiz platform, an LMS, or a study sheet.
Why Choose OneClickPDF's Question Generator
Pay for a day, not a month. Most AI quiz tools lock their best features behind a monthly subscription — ChatPDF at $20/mo, Quizlet at $8/mo. OneClickPDF charges a flat $0.99 for a 24-hour day pass that also unlocks Chat with PDF and the Summarizer. If you only need to build a quiz now and then, you never pay for a subscription you barely use.
No account, no signup. You do not create an account, hand over an email, or build a profile. Upload your PDF, pay the day pass, and generate. That is the whole flow.
Your PDF file is read locally. The PDF itself is parsed in your browser to pull out its text — the file is never uploaded. Only the extracted plain text is sent to the Google Gemini API so the AI can write your questions. OneClickPDF does not retain a copy of that text on its servers; Google's retention applies under their API terms. It is not a fully offline tool, so for highly confidential documents, bear in mind the text leaves your device for AI processing.
Every format from one PDF. Many quiz generators produce a single question type. OneClickPDF generates multiple choice, true/false, short answer, and flashcards from the same document, with custom counts — so you are not locked into one study format or juggling separate tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI question generator and how does it work?
An AI question generator automatically creates quiz questions, exam questions, or study flashcards from a source document using artificial intelligence. With OneClickPDF you upload a PDF, choose your question types and count, and generate. The PDF is read locally in your browser to extract its text; only that plain text is then sent to the Google Gemini API, which writes questions based on it. The PDF file itself is never uploaded.
How much does the AI Question Generator cost?
It costs $0.99 for a 24-hour day pass — there is no subscription and no account required. A single $0.99 payment unlocks OneClickPDF's three AI tools (Question Generator, Chat with PDF, and Summarizer) for 24 hours. Compared with monthly subscription tools like ChatPDF ($20/mo) or Quizlet ($8/mo), pay-per-day pricing is far cheaper if you only need it occasionally.
Can AI generate multiple choice questions from a PDF?
Yes. OneClickPDF's AI Question Generator produces multiple choice questions directly from your PDF's content, complete with plausible distractor options. Your browser extracts the text from the PDF, that text is sent to the Google Gemini API, and the AI returns multiple choice questions relevant to the specific document. You choose how many you want for each session.
How do I create quiz questions from a PDF automatically?
Open the AI Question Generator at oneclickpdf.net/tools/questions, upload your PDF, pick your question types (multiple choice, true/false, short answer, or flashcards), set how many you need, and generate. The text is extracted in your browser and sent to the Google Gemini API, which returns the questions in seconds. No account is required, and access is a $0.99 day pass.
What types of questions can the AI generate from a PDF?
Four types: multiple choice (with AI-generated distractors), true/false (factual statements drawn from your document), short answer (open-ended prompts for deeper recall), and flashcards (two-sided term-and-definition pairs). You can mix types in a single run and set a custom count for each, up to 20 questions total per generation.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server when I generate questions?
Your PDF file is not uploaded — it is read locally in your browser to extract the text. However, that extracted plain text is sent to the Google Gemini API so the AI can generate the questions, so this is not a fully offline tool. OneClickPDF does not retain a copy of the text on its servers; Google's retention applies under their API terms. For highly confidential material, factor in that the text leaves your device for AI processing.
How accurate are AI-generated quiz questions from PDFs?
AI-generated questions are drawn directly from your PDF's text, which keeps them relevant to the source material, but they are not guaranteed error-free. Well-structured, text-based PDFs produce the most accurate and coherent questions; scanned PDFs are read with OCR in your browser first, and text read from a scan may contain mistakes, so questions from it can be weaker. Always review generated questions before using them, especially for formal assessments.
Can I use the question generator for exam preparation?
Yes. Upload a study guide, textbook chapter, or lecture notes, choose multiple choice or true/false to mirror typical exam formats, and set the count to match your study plan. Flashcards from the same PDF support spaced-repetition review. Because the tool works from whatever PDF you upload, it adapts to any subject or certification rather than being limited to a pre-built question bank.
How many questions can I generate from one PDF?
You can generate up to 20 questions per run, split across the four types however you like. Very long documents are condensed to the amount of text the AI can process in a single request, so for a large PDF it is best to keep your requested count proportional to the section you care about. You can run the generator again as many times as you like within your 24-hour day pass.
What is the difference between a PDF quiz generator and a flashcard generator?
A quiz generator creates structured test questions — multiple choice, true/false, and short answer — that evaluate recall or comprehension. A flashcard generator creates two-sided cards pairing a prompt (a term, concept, or question) with its answer, designed for repeated spaced-repetition review. OneClickPDF's AI Question Generator does both in one tool, so you can produce quiz questions and flashcards from the same PDF without switching apps.
