Turn your class notes into an editable AI mind map
Upload a PDF, a DOCX, a PPTX, plain notes, or a photo of a page. DeckOwl organizes the material into a central topic with branches you can reshape and explore.
How an AI mind map maker helps you crear mapa mental
Many students stare at a long chapter with no clear picture of how its parts connect. A AI mind map maker gives you a starting structure in minutes, so you can spend your time checking and understanding instead of drawing boxes from scratch.
- Start from a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text notes, or a photo of a page
- Get an editable map with a central topic and organized branches
- Explore one branch at a time instead of scanning a crowded diagram
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month, studying in the browser, and no exports

How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, a DOCX or PPTX file, plain text notes, or a photo of a page.
Generate the map
The AI pulls out the main topic and sorts the key ideas into branches and sub-points.
Edit and explore
Reshape the branches, add your own links, and expand sections one at a time while you review.
A useful mind map shows relationships, not just a list of terms. Central ideas sit in the middle, causes and examples branch outward, and each sub-point is short enough to recall under pressure. Building that structure yourself is one of the most effective ways to study, and editing a draft map is a good way to check what you actually understood.
DeckOwl reads your notes and proposes a first version. You keep control of the result: rename nodes, move branches, delete what does not belong, and add detail from your lectures. Then you can review the same map as you expand each branch.

Frequently asked questions
How do I crear mapa mental for studying a long chapter?
Start with the chapter's main idea in the center, then add 4 to 7 major branches for its key sections. Under each branch, write only the facts you need to recall, in short phrases.
How many branches should a study mind map have?
Most useful maps have a handful of main branches, usually between 4 and 7, with 2 to 4 sub-points under each. If a branch needs more, split it into its own map so it stays readable.
Can I export my mind map?
The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports. Exports such as PDF and DOCX are included in the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month.
Does DeckOwl work with photos of my notes?
Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can turn handwritten or printed notes into a mind map if the text is legible.
