What to expect from a free mind map tool

A free AI mind map generator from PDF helps when a chapter or lecture deck holds more ideas than you can track at once. You upload the file, and the tool pulls out the central topic and the concepts that branch from it, so you start with a structure instead of a blank page.

  • Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, and photos of pages
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month with browser study
  • Editable maps you can rework after generation

Statement of the theorema² + b² = c² for right triangles · c is the hypotenuse · c is the longest side
Parts of a right triangleLegs a and b · Hypotenuse c opposite the right angle · The right angle sits between the legs
Proof methodsArea-based proof · Compare squares built on each side · Euclid's proof in Elements Book I
Converse of the theoremIf a² + b² = c², the triangle is right · Used to check whether a triangle has a right angle
Real-world usesChecking square corners in construction · Finding a diagonal distance · Measuring distance between points on a grid

Reads your own material

Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, and photos of pages read with text recognition.

Editable and explorable

Rename, reorganize, and expand branches so the map matches how you study.

Free to start

No credit card needed. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser.

How it works

Upload your file

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text notes, or photos of pages.

Review the map

The AI builds a central topic with branches for the main ideas in your material.

Edit and study

Rework branches and explore each section, then turn the same material into flashcards or quizzes.

The map stays editable and explorable. You can rename a branch, move ideas to where they belong, and expand only the sections you need. That matters for textbook chapters, where one PDF often covers several topics that should stay separate.

The free plan lets you test this with 3 generations a month and study in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and exports, and Pro adds bulk upload and a stronger AI model.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a mind map of the Pythagorean theorem?

Start with the central idea a² + b² = c² and branch into the parts of a right triangle, proof methods, and real-world uses. Keep each branch to one short idea so the map stays readable.

What should a good mind map of a study document include?

Put the main topic in the center and give each major section its own branch. Use short labels and add examples as sub-branches so each idea can be reviewed on its own.

Is the free plan enough to try it?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser. No credit card is needed to start.

Can I export my mind map?

Exporting is a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export, while the free plan covers studying in the browser.
