Canvas Quiz Loader vs Canvas Quiz Solver
Quiz Loader is free, and on a retake it can fill in answers for you. The catch: it needs an earlier attempt to copy from. Here is the honest breakdown.
Canvas Quiz Loader only copies answers from your earlier attempts, so it cannot help on a first attempt.
- It is free and loads correct answers from your previous submissions at the same quiz.
- On a first attempt it has nothing to copy.
- On a retake, the results of the earlier attempt must be visible to you.
- There is no AI in it, and its store listing was last updated on 2025-04-15.
Our pickCanvas Quiz Solver reads the question itself and shows the answer right below it, inside the quiz page. It works on a first attempt too.

What each one actually does
Canvas Quiz Loader
A free extension that, in its store listing's words, will "automatically load correct answers from previous quiz attempts". It scans your previous submissions and fills the answers in on the next try. Students know it under names like "Carmen quiz loader" at schools that brand their Canvas site.
There is no AI in it. On a first attempt it has nothing to copy. On a retake it still needs the results of the earlier attempt to be visible to you.
Canvas Quiz Solver
An AI answer engine that lives inside the quiz page. Click one button on any question - multiple choice, short answer, matching, essay, and more - and the answer appears right below it.
It does not need an earlier attempt, because it reads the question itself. Answers are powered by a private database of real Canvas quizzes.
Unlimited questions on every plan, no credits.
Why is Canvas Quiz Loader not working?
Three common reasons. First, there is no earlier attempt: the loader copies answers from previous submissions, so a first try at a quiz gives it nothing to read. Second, the results are hidden: if your instructor does not show results after an attempt, the earlier submission tells the loader nothing. Third, age: the Chrome Web Store listing (version 0.5.4) was last updated on 2025-04-15, so a later change to Canvas can break it.
On a retake, Canvas keeps a log of each attempt, and by default the instructor sees the most recent one. Read which attempt the quiz log shows and what it records.
Is Canvas Quiz Loader safe or detectable?
It is a Chrome extension like any other, with 50,000 users and 4.1 stars from 69 ratings on the Chrome Web Store (checked 2026-09-25). A web page cannot list the extensions in your browser. For what Canvas and proctoring tools can see, read whether Canvas can detect Chrome extensions and what Canvas logs when you switch tabs.
Which one do you need?
If you are on a retake and the results of your last attempt are visible, Quiz Loader is free - take the win. That depends on your attempt history and on how your instructor set up the quiz.
If you want answers on a first attempt, or on questions you have never seen, you need an engine that actually answers questions. That's Canvas Quiz Solver.
Common questions
Why is Canvas Quiz Loader not working?
Usually because there is nothing for it to load. Canvas Quiz Loader copies correct answers from your previous attempts at the same quiz. On a first attempt there is no earlier submission to read. If your instructor hides results after submission, the earlier attempt shows it nothing either. Canvas Quiz Solver does not need an earlier attempt; it reads the question and generates an answer with AI.
Does Canvas Quiz Loader work on every quiz?
No. It needs an earlier attempt at the same quiz, and the results of that attempt have to be visible to you. A first attempt, or a quiz with results hidden, leaves it with nothing to load.
Is Canvas Quiz Loader free?
Yes, Canvas Quiz Loader is free. The trade-off is reach: it only helps on a retake of a quiz whose results you can see. Canvas Quiz Solver is one plan at $9.99 a month and answers new questions too.
Is there a Canvas Quiz Loader for Firefox?
Yes. A Firefox port of Canvas Quiz Loader exists with the same approach: it loads answers from your previous attempts.
Answers on a first attempt, not just on retakes.
One click. The answer lands right inside Canvas.
