Why it holds up
A converter that keeps the structure other tools throw away
Most tools flatten a question paper into one block of text and leave the answer key stranded at the end. ExamParser reads each question's number, stem, options and correct answer as one unit, so the answer travels inside the question and every destination gets a file it will actually accept.
The answer stays inside each question
Every question keeps its correct answer in the same row as its options — never as a detached answer key. Asterisk marks or "Answer: C" notes are read and written into that question's own field.
Nine exports from one upload
Parse once, then export to any number of destinations. Moving from Canvas to Blackboard next term does not mean re-doing anything.

Canvas
Built to drop straight into Canvas — QTI, no reformatting
ExamParser exports a QTI 1.2 / 2.1 package that Canvas reads natively. Each question, its options and its correct answer land in your question bank as one unit — no manual fixing, no copy-paste.
1
Upload the paper
.docx, PDF or a scanned past paper. The parser reads the number, stem, options and the correct answer for every question.
2
Check the parsed grid
Every question becomes a row. Fix anything in place — edits flow into every export.
3
Download the QTI .zip
One file per job, containing the manifest and every question in Canvas-ready XML.
4
Import in Canvas
Settings → Import Course Content → choose QTI .zip → pick a question bank or course. Done.
Question text→ item / presentation / material
Options A–E→ response_lid / response_label

How it works
Three steps, no account, no manual retyping
1
Upload your Word file
Drop in a .docx — or a PDF and scanned paper. The parser reads each question's number, stem, options and correct answer as one unit, so nothing gets split apart.
2
Download the structured result
Every question becomes one row: number, stem, options and its answer together. Preview is free; you pay per question only when you download, then export to any format.
3
Import into Canvas
Open the Canvas QTI .zip in Settings → Import Course Content. Moodle, Quizizz and a plain spreadsheet export the same way — no reformatting, no copy-paste.

FAQ
Questions people ask before they convert
Do I need to create an account to convert a file?
No. ExamParser runs without a login. Drop a file in, pick the destination and download the result. An account is optional and only used to keep past conversions in one place.
How do I convert a Word document into a Canvas quiz?
Upload the .docx file, choose Canvas as the destination, and ExamParser writes each question into number, stem, options and answer fields, then packages them as a Canvas QTI file. In Canvas go to Settings, Import Course Content, and select the QTI zip file.
Which question types are supported?
Multiple choice, multiple answer, true or false, matching, fill in the blank, short answer and essay. Export support depends on the destination, because each platform accepts only a subset of these types.
Is the answer kept with each question?
Yes. The correct answer is stored in the same row as its question — number, stem, options and answer together — never as a separate answer key at the end. Every destination receives each question with its answer already attached.
Can I convert a past paper that only exists on paper?
Yes. Scanned pages and photographs go through OCR before parsing, so printed past papers can be turned into an editable question bank.
Do you keep my question papers?
Uploads are used for the single conversion job only. Unpublished exam material is never reused, never resold and never used to train models.
How is pricing calculated?
You pay per question extracted, only when you download. The rate depends on your total batch size: up to 100 questions is $0.05 each, 101–1,000 is $0.04, 1,001–10,000 is $0.03, and 10,000 and above is $0.02. Larger batches cost less per question, and every download includes all nine export formats.
