Core advantages

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. It handles the question types teachers actually use — single choice (MC), multiple choice (MR), true/false and essay — and keeps each answer in its own field, so nothing gets lost in translation.

Any exam format

Word .docx, PDF and even scanned past papers all import — no manual cleanup beforehand.

No question limit

A whole paper is parsed in one pass — dozens or thousands of questions, with no truncation or errors from size.

Every question type

Single choice, multiple response, true/false, cloze and essay are all recognized and labelled in the preview.

Images, tables & formulas kept

Diagrams, data tables and math formulas in the stem are preserved intact — no broken structure, no garbled text.

Multilingual

Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German and more — even mixed in one file — are all handled.

From any paper straight to Moodle

One parse exports to Moodle QTI 2.1, GIFT, XML, Excel and CSV — drop them straight into your question bank.

Moodle

Built to drop straight into Moodle — QTI 2.1, GIFT or XML, no reformatting

ExamParser turns a paper into one structured row per question — for example MC,,5,Q20,5,a,b,c,d,e — and converts that same data into Moodle-ready QTI 2.1, GIFT or XML packages. Each question, its options and its correct answer land in your question bank as one unit — no manual fixing, no copy-paste. Want to tidy things up yourself first? The CSV export ships alongside the QTI/GIFT/XML files, so you can edit, reorder or merge questions in any spreadsheet before importing.

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 Moodle quiz?

Upload the PDF or .docx file, choose Moodle as the destination, and ExamParser writes each question into number, stem, options and answer fields, then packages them as Moodle QTI 2.1, GIFT or XML files. In Moodle go to Question bank, Import, and select the QTI 2.1, GIFT or XML 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 a single one-time price based on how many questions your file contains — not per question. Plans: up to 50 questions $5.9, up to 1,000 $19.9 (most popular), up to 5,000 $59, and 5,000+ $79. Upload and preview are always free; you only pay when you download.
