# Import a Document, Image, or Form to Create a Test

> Import PDFs, Word documents, images, or Google Forms into Pear Assessment to create interactive tests from existing content

Pear Assessment lets you import supported files to extract questions and build interactive tests without starting from scratch. Supported file types include PDFs, Word documents (.docx), images (.jpg and .png), and Google Forms. You can start the import from either the Dashboard or the Test library.

<Note>
  If you want to generate questions from notes or documents using AI, click **Don't have questions ready? Upload now** during the import flow. Question Generation requires the AI suite add-on.
