The short answer
Last updated July 2026
An online quiz maker is a browser based tool for building and sharing a quiz without installing anything. Most of them give you a blank question editor and expect you to type every question, option, and answer key yourself. VidQuiz is the generating kind: paste a video link and it writes the multiple choice questions, marks the correct answers, adds a short explanation, and timestamps each question back to the moment in the video. You edit anything you want, then share a link or export to Google Forms, QTI, PDF, or CSV.
Almost every online quiz maker is really two products bolted together: an editor where you write questions, and a delivery layer that shares the quiz, grades it, and shows you the results. The delivery half has been good for a decade. Sharing a link, auto grading multiple choice, and charting who missed what are solved problems, and dozens of tools do them competently.
The editor half is where the time goes. A twenty question quiz is twenty stems, eighty options, twenty answer keys, and twenty explanations, typed one field at a time, usually while scrubbing back and forth through the material you are testing people on. That is the part nobody enjoys, and it is the reason quizzes get skipped, shortened, or recycled from last year.
VidQuiz attacks that half. You give it the video your quiz is supposed to be about, a course module, a recorded training session, a webinar, a lecture, or a YouTube link, and it reads the spoken content and drafts the questions. Each one arrives with four options, the correct answer marked, a one line explanation, and a timestamp chip pointing at the moment it came from. Nothing is locked: reword a stem, cut a weak question, reorder the set, then share it or export it into whatever platform already runs your quizzes. The questions come from your video and you approve them before anyone sees them, so the final quiz is yours.

Where a typical online quiz maker stops and VidQuiz starts
| The job | A typical online quiz maker | VidQuiz |
|---|---|---|
| Writing the questions | You type every stem and option | Drafted from the video you paste |
| Marking the answer key | You tick the right option each time | Marked for you, editable |
| Explaining a wrong answer | You write the feedback yourself | A short explanation comes with each question |
| Knowing what to test | You rewatch and take notes | The testable points are pulled from the video |
| Linking back to the source | Rarely available | A timestamp chip on every question |
| Sharing and grading | Solid, this is what they do well | Share a link, or export and grade where you already do |
| Question variety | Often many types, including essay | MCQ-first by design |
Classic quiz builders are strong at delivery and question variety. The difference here is who writes the first draft.
How do I create an online quiz?
Pick the source material, write the questions, mark the correct answers, then share the quiz as a link and let the tool grade it. In VidQuiz the middle two steps are done for you: paste the link to the video the quiz is about, let it draft the multiple choice questions with answers and explanations, review the set, and edit anything that misses.
The review pass is the part worth protecting. Read every stem against the moment it came from, using the timestamp chip to jump straight there, and cut anything that tests trivia rather than understanding. A generated draft you have actually read beats a hand typed quiz you rushed at midnight.
What is the best online quiz maker?
It depends on what your quiz is made from. If the questions already exist and you need secure delivery, proctoring, or certificates, a classic testing platform is the better fit. If the questions do not exist yet and the material is a video, a generator saves the hours the editor would otherwise eat.
Plenty of teams use both, and that is a reasonable answer rather than a cop out. Draft the question set from the video in VidQuiz, export it, and deliver it in the platform your organization already approved. The two halves of the job do not have to come from the same vendor.
Can you make a quiz with AI?
Yes, and the useful question is what the AI reads. Tools that generate from pasted text need you to supply the text first, which means transcribing the video yourself before you start. VidQuiz reads the video, so a recorded training session or lecture becomes a quiz without that step.
Treat the output as a strong first draft rather than a finished product. The questions come from your own video, and they are editable for a reason: you are the one who knows which points actually mattered to your audience. There is no accuracy guarantee, and the review pass is not optional.
Is there a free online quiz maker?
Several, and they are perfectly good for a five question quiz you are happy to type yourself. VidQuiz has no free plan, because reading a full video and writing a complete question set carries a real cost per video, and pretending otherwise would mean throttling the thing you came for.
Plans start at $19 a month, and you can run the Quiz Studio on a sample video on this site first to see exactly what it produces before you pay for anything. If your quizzes are short and you enjoy writing them, a free builder is genuinely the right call.
