Moving your quizzes from Kahoot, Blooket or Moodle

A quiz library built over several years is hard to leave behind. Each of these three platforms lets you take your questions out in some form, but not always in a form another tool can read. This guide shows what Kahoot, Blooket and Moodle let you export, what each file format keeps, and how to check an import before a class sees it. Menus change, so each step points to the platform's own help page, checked on 30 September 2026.

What to export from Kahoot

Kahoot's help pages describe two ways to get a kahoot out. The first is a PDF: Kahoot says you can save a kahoot as a PDF "from the game's options menu". The page does not say whether the PDF marks the correct answers, so open the file and check before you rely on it.

The second is a spreadsheet. Asked whether you can download an existing kahoot as a spreadsheet, Kahoot's help centre suggests you "play through the kahoot and download the spreadsheet report afterward". That report is an .xlsx file "with all questions and answer options". Play it through on your own, because the report also lists each player's nickname and answer.

If you wrote questions in Kahoot's spreadsheet template, keep that file too. The template takes only standard quiz questions, and images cannot be imported through it.

What to export from Blooket

Blooket can print a question set as a worksheet. Open My Sets, open the three-dot menu on the set and select Print. Then choose Print Answer Key, which Blooket describes as "a separate teacher copy with the correct answers displayed in bold". In your computer's print window, choose Save as PDF. Export the answer key rather than the pupil worksheet, because only the key shows which answers are correct.

Blooket's CSV is its spreadsheet import template. You fill in the template, save it as a CSV file and upload it to Blooket. If you built sets that way, those CSV files are your cleanest copy, unless you edited the sets in Blooket afterwards. The Blooket help pages checked for this guide describe printing and spreadsheet import, not a CSV download of an existing set. If you need one, check the set's three-dot menu or ask Blooket's support team.

What to export from Moodle

Moodle's documentation lists four export formats: "Aiken format, GIFT format, Moodle XML format, XHTML format." Questions live in question banks. A course's shared banks are under Course navigation > More > Question banks, and a quiz's own bank is under Quiz navigation > Question bank. Open the bank, choose Export, pick a format and a question category, then download the file.

Choose Moodle XML if you can. Moodle's documentation says: "Images are only included if you export the questions using Moodle XML format." A GIFT export is a useful second copy, because you can read and edit it in any text editor. Menus vary between Moodle versions and school set-ups, so ask your Moodle administrator if you cannot find Export.

The file formats in plain terms

• CSV (comma-separated values) is a plain-text table: one record per line, with the fields separated by commas. It opens in a spreadsheet program. It holds text, so pictures do not travel with it.
• Moodle XML is, in Moodle's words, "a Moodle-specific format for importing and exporting questions". It records each question's type and answers, and it can carry images inside the file.
• GIFT is a text format for writing questions in a text editor. A question's name sits between double colons, wrong answers start with a tilde (~) and the right answer starts with an equals sign (=). A Year 8 history question looks like this: ::Hastings:: In which year was the Battle of Hastings? {=1066 ~1067 ~1087 ~1215}
• Aiken is a simple text format for multiple-choice questions.
• PDF is a printed page saved as a file. It is made for people to read, so an importing tool has to work out which lines are questions, which are answers and which answer is marked correct.

How to check an import before a class sees it

Whichever tool you move to, compare the import with the original before a class sees it. Work through this checklist:

• Count. The new quiz should have as many questions as the old one. Find out why any are missing.
• Answer keys. Check the marked answer on every question. Look hardest at questions with more than one right answer.
• Pictures. Re-add any image that did not come across. A question about a labelled diagram cannot be answered without the diagram.
• Question types. A type the new tool does not have cannot arrive as it was. Kahoot's puzzle questions and Moodle's matching and essay questions are examples to look for.
• Stray formatting. Look for leftover web code in the answers, such as tags in angle brackets, and for symbols or equations that did not survive.
• Timings. If the new tool uses time limits, check that they came across, or set them again.

Then play the quiz once as a pupil would. In a Year 10 chemistry quiz, answer "Which type of bond forms between sodium and chlorine?" once correctly and once wrongly. Check that each answer is marked as it should be.

What Quizrook accepts

Quizrook's import page offers six formats: GIFT (Moodle text), Moodle XML, Kahoot PDF (printed with answers), Wayground graded PDF, Blooket CSV and Blooket PDF. It does not offer Kahoot's spreadsheet files. A file can be up to 5 MB. You see a preview of the questions before anything is saved, and saving an import needs the Pro plan or above. Whatever it shows, run the checklist above on the result. After a Moodle or GIFT import, check the marked answer and the formatting on every question in the preview, and edit what did not arrive as you expect.

Try it on Monday

1. Pick one quiz you use every week, such as a Year 7 French vocabulary quiz.
2. Export it: the PDF from Kahoot, the answer key PDF or your template CSV from Blooket, or Moodle XML from Moodle.
3. Import it into the new tool, then run the checklist: count, answer keys, pictures, question types, formatting and timings.
4. Fix what did not come across, and play the quiz once yourself as a pupil.
5. Before you move the rest, ask the new supplier how you would export your quizzes again. The DfE advises schools to ask suppliers about data portability "in case you switch providers".
