How do I create a quiz from a presentation?

SlideSpeak can turn any presentation into a ready-to-use quiz in just a few clicks. You can generate multiple-choice (MCQ) questions, true/false questions, or a mix of both, edit them manually or with AI, and download the finished quiz as a PDF — with an optional answer sheet for grading.

This guide covers both ways to get started: creating a brand-new presentation with AI, or importing one you already have.

Step 1: Open or create a presentation

You have two options: generate a new presentation with AI, or import an existing one. Either way, the goal is to get your presentation open in the SlideSpeak editor.

Option A: Create a new presentation with AI

Go to app.slidespeak.co and click Create Presentation.
Enter a prompt describing your topic, or upload a document to base the presentation on.
Review the generated outline and confirm it.
Choose a template.
Wait a moment while SlideSpeak generates your presentation.

Option B: Import an existing presentation

If you already have a presentation, click Import PowerPoint on the Presentations page and select your PPTX file. It will open directly in the SlideSpeak editor, ready for the next step.

Use “Import PowerPoint” to open an existing PPTX file in SlideSpeak

Step 2: Open the Tools panel and generate the quiz

With your presentation open in the SlideSpeak editor, click Tools in the right-hand side panel, then select Generate Quiz.

Open the Tools panel and click “Generate Quiz”

Step 3: Choose your quiz settings

Before generating, you can customize the quiz:

Question type — pick Multiple choice, True / False, or Both.
Number of questions — use the slider to choose anywhere from 1 to 25 questions.

When you’re happy with the settings, click Generate quiz. Generating a quiz uses 5 credits.

Choose the question type and number of questions, then generate

Step 4: Review and edit your quiz

Your quiz opens right inside the SlideSpeak editor, where you can refine every question and answer:

Edit manually — change the question text, edit the answer options, pick the correct answer, or update the explanation.
Improve with AI — rewrite a question with AI for better wording or difficulty.
Add questions — add a blank question with + Add question, or let AI write new ones with Add with AI.
Delete — remove any question you don’t need.

Edit questions manually or adjust them with AI in the quiz editor

Step 5: Download your quiz

When you’re happy with the quiz, download it as a PDF:

Download Quiz PDF — a clean, ready-to-share version of the quiz questions.
Download Answer Sheet — a separate answer key for grading.
Quiz + Answer Sheet — download both together in one file.

Download the quiz, the answer sheet, or both as a PDF

That’s it!

You’ve turned your presentation into a ready-to-use quiz. Whether you built the deck from scratch with AI or imported an existing one, SlideSpeak makes it easy to generate, edit, and share quizzes as PDFs.
