## Question

Create Quiz from PDF or File

## Short answer

Upload a PDF or another supported file and generate quiz questions from it.

## Full answer

Use the File source when your material is in a document, slide deck, spreadsheet, text file, image, or PDF.

## Supported files

QuizRise accepts PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT, Markdown, HTML, images, CSV, JSON, XML, EPUB, and similar supported file types.

## Steps

1. Open [QuizRise](https://app.quizrise.com/create/quiz).

2. Choose **From File**.

3. Click **Select File** and choose the file you want to use.

4. If QuizRise shows page selection, choose the pages or page range you want to process, then click **Continue**.

5. On **Configure Quiz**, choose:
   - **Language:** Keep **Auto** or choose a specific language.
   - **Question Types:** Select one or more of multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and true/false.
   - **Question Difficulty:** Choose easy, medium, or hard.
   - **Total Question Count:** Choose how many questions to create. The available range can depend on your plan, selected pages, file size, and extracted content length.

6. Click **Create Quiz**.

QuizRise uploads the file, extracts the text, creates the quiz, and starts question generation. Larger files and selected page ranges can take longer to process.

## File processing notes

- Empty files cannot be uploaded.
- Large files can be limited by your plan.
- For large PDFs, selecting only the pages you need can help the upload and extraction finish faster.
- Use [Extract from File](/help/en/extract-questions-from-file) instead when the file already contains quiz questions and answers that you want to import.
