Common Questions

What is QTI 2.1?
QTI (Question and Test Interoperability) 2.1 is an open XML-based standard maintained by 1EdTech for exchanging test questions. Because of its verbose and highly structured formatting, it is the preferred, robust language used by modern LMS platforms to import and export quizzes without losing metadata.
Does Canvas accept QTI 2.1 packages directly?
Yes. Canvas natively supports importing QTI 2.1 zip packages directly into course banks and New Quizzes. Blackboard Ultra, Brightspace (D2L), and most modern LMS ecosystems also accept this exact format seamlessly during their standard course import processes.
Which question types does QTI Exporter support?
Currently, QTI Exporter reliably transforms four primary GIFT question types: Multiple Choice, True/False, Short Answer, and Multiple Response. To ensure bulletproof LMS compatibility, complex interaction types like essay, matching, and numerical variables are not supported in this version.
Is QTI Exporter free?
Yes! QTI Exporter is completely free and unlimited for all users until August 10, 2026. After that date, we may introduce freemium limits, but for now you can enjoy entirely unrestricted local processing for your bulk export operations.
Can I convert my existing GIFT questions from Quiz Converter here too?
Absolutely. If you utilized our legacy Quiz Converter to author simple GIFT strings, you can paste that exact same plain-text output into this tool. It bridges the gap straight from Moodle-friendly GIFT into a Canvas-ready QTI 2.1 zip package.
Does this tool upload my questions anywhere?
No. Like all utilities on LMSTools, the conversion process utilizes native JavaScript APIs running strictly in your local browser sandbox instance. Your private exam materials, proprietary questions, and data are never tracked, collected, or uploaded.
