Canvas LMS has its own quiz editor, but building a quiz there means adding one question at a time, typing every answer choice, and marking the correct option by hand. That is fine for five questions and painful for fifty. A Canvas quiz maker lets you keep writing questions where you already write them, in Word, Google Docs, a PDF handout, or a spreadsheet, and turns that document into a quiz Canvas can import. Formswrite works as a Canvas quiz converter: it reads the document, detects each question, the answer choices, and the correct answer, and exports a QTI package. QTI is the standard question format Canvas uses for quiz imports, so the file goes into your course through the normal Canvas import tool. ## How to make a Canvas quiz from a document 1. **Upload the document with your questions.** Upload a Word document, PDF, Google Doc, or Google Sheet. Scanned PDFs work because Formswrite runs OCR on them. 2. **Review the detected questions.** Formswrite finds each question, its answer choices, and the correct answer. Fix any wording or answer before you export. 3. **Export the Canvas quiz file.** Choose Canvas LMS as the export target. Formswrite creates a QTI package, the format Canvas uses to import quizzes. 4. **Import it into your Canvas course.** In Canvas, open the course, go to Settings, choose Import Course Content, pick QTI .zip file as the content type, select the file, and run the import. 5. **Check the quiz and publish.** Open the imported quiz from the Quizzes page, review points and settings such as time limit and attempts, then publish it for students. ## Examples of what teachers convert - **A Word unit test:** a 30-question multiple choice test written years ago in Word, moved into a new Canvas course without retyping. - **A scanned PDF worksheet:** a printed quiz from a textbook publisher, scanned and read with OCR, then reviewed and imported as an online quiz. - **A shared question bank in Google Sheets:** a department spreadsheet of questions exported once and imported into several course sections. - **Text to Canvas quiz:** questions pasted into a Google Doc from notes or an email, cleaned up and converted in one pass. ## Tips for a clean Canvas import - Keep one question per block, with its answer choices directly underneath. - Mark the correct answer clearly in the document, or include an answer key, so it is detected reliably. - Review scanned pages before exporting, since OCR can misread symbols and formulas. - After import, check point values, time limits, and allowed attempts in the Canvas quiz settings before publishing. - Starting from scratch instead of a document? Generate the questions first with the [AI quiz generator](/tools/quiz-generator), then export to Canvas. ## Preços simples e transparentes Comece grátis. Faça upgrade quando quiser.

A Canvas quiz maker creates a quiz you can load into Canvas LMS without typing every question into the Canvas quiz editor. Formswrite reads the questions and answers from a Word file, PDF, Google Doc, or Google Sheet and exports a Canvas-ready quiz file you import into your course. How do I convert a Word document to a Canvas quiz? Upload the Word document to Formswrite, review the questions and correct answers it detects, and export to Canvas LMS. Then in your Canvas course go to Settings, Import Course Content, choose QTI .zip file, upload the file, and import. The quiz appears on the Quizzes page. Can I turn a PDF quiz into a Canvas quiz? Yes. Formswrite extracts questions and answer choices from PDFs, including scanned PDFs through OCR, and exports them as a Canvas quiz file. Review the questions before exporting, especially for scanned pages. What file does Canvas need to import a quiz? Canvas imports quizzes from QTI packages, which are .zip files that contain the questions, answers, and point values in a standard format. Formswrite builds that package for you, so you never have to edit the XML by hand. Is the Canvas quiz maker free? Exporting to Canvas is part of the Formswrite paid plans. You can create an account, upload a document, and review the detected questions before deciding to upgrade. Can I use the same questions in other platforms? Yes. The same question set can be exported to Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace, Schoology, Google Forms, Kahoot, and many more targets, so you do not need to rebuild a quiz when you use more than one platform. ## More LMS and quiz tools Build questions once and send them wherever your courses live. - ### Documents to QTI Export questions as QTI 1.2, 2.1, or 2.2 packages.
