Creating quizzes for education, training, or assessment has never been easier! Free Quiz Maker is a powerful, user-friendly Progressive Web App (PWA) that lets you create, customize, and store quizzes in minutes completely free and without any registration required. Everything is stored locally on your computer.

Free Quiz Maker is a web-based application that transforms simple text into interactive, professional quizzes. Whether you’re a teacher preparing exams, a trainer creating assessments, or a student making study materials, this tool simplifies the entire process. Best of all, it works offline once installed and can be saved to your device as a Progressive Web App. The project was vibecoded because most of the quiz makers online are not free and I needed this app.
