Turn any PDF into an AI mind map in one upload
Upload your lecture slides, textbook chapter, or notes and get a mind map you can edit and explore branch by branch.
Why a custom mind map beats a downloaded one
A ready-made printable map covers someone else's version of the subject, so it rarely matches your lecture order or your textbook. Upload your own file and get AI mind maps from PDFs built around the exact chapter you need to learn.
- Start from the PDF you already have, not a generic template
- Explore branches on screen before deciding what to memorize
- Turn map topics into flashcards or quizzes from the same upload
- Export to PDF, DOCX, or Anki on Plus ($39/year or $7.99/month)
Works with your PDFs
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, or plain text notes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition too.
Editable and explorable
Rearrange branches, expand subtopics, and follow the structure of the material at your own pace.
Study from the map
Turn the same material into flashcards with spaced repetition or quizzes with explanations.
How it works
Upload your PDF
Add a chapter, lecture deck, or set of notes. No credit card needed to start.
Let the AI map the ideas
DeckOwl pulls out the main concepts and groups the subtopics under them.
Edit and explore
Rename, move, or expand branches until the map matches how you think about the topic.
Because the map is editable, you can reshape it as your course moves on. Branches you already know can collapse, and weak spots can grow into their own study sets.
Export is available on paid plans, while the free plan lets you study and explore maps in the browser with three generations per month.

Frequently asked questions
How do I organize a chemical bonding unit into a mind map?
Start with the central idea of bonding and make the main branches ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding. Under each, add the properties, electron behavior, and a common example so the relationships stay visible.
How many branches should a mind map have for chemical bonding?
Aim for four to six main branches so the map stays readable. Each branch should hold two to four subpoints, which is enough detail to recall without crowding the page.
Can I export my mind map as a PDF?
Yes, PDF export is included with Plus, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study and explore maps in the browser without exporting.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. You can start on the free plan with three generations per month and no credit card. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
