Cardinal Quiz Converter

Before you begin

Start with a template.

Formatting here is different from the Classic converter — even if you've used Classic before, review the updated documentation and templates below before building your file. If you're new to the tool, download a pre-formatted template to see how questions should be structured, or share the LLM documentation with an AI assistant to help you build it.

.txt

Plain text

The simplest. Write in any text editor. Most forgiving for first-timers.

.md

Markdown

For rich formatting — bold, italics, code, equations — without a word processor.

.csv

Spreadsheet

If your question bank already lives in Excel or Google Sheets.

.docx

Word

For quizzes already in Microsoft Word, with formatting preserved.

Formatting reference for all 13 question types

Step 2

Upload your quiz file.

Drag it in or browse. One quiz file at a time. For Hot Spot questions, upload a .zip with the quiz file and its images, or add the images in the Hot Spot step. Once uploaded, the next step will check the formatting.
