Making a concept map from your own material
Ready-made printable concept map templates are easy to find, but they show someone else's categories rather than your course. If you want to create a concept map online for free, upload your own notes and let the AI structure them into a map you can edit.
- Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, and photos of pages
- Editable branches you can reorganize after generation
- Explore the map by expanding and collapsing sections
- 3 free generations per month, with no credit card needed to start
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. The map reflects your own lecture or textbook content.
Editable and explorable
Rename branches, rearrange ideas, and expand or collapse sections to see the structure you need.
Free to start
The free plan includes 3 generations a month and studying in the browser. No credit card is needed to begin.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page.
Generate the map
The AI pulls out the main ideas and links them into branches.
Edit and study it
Adjust the layout and content, then explore the map in your browser.
Starting from your own material makes the map more useful for exam prep. The central topic and main branches come from your lecture slides or textbook chapter, so you can check what matters against what you were actually taught.

Frequently asked questions
How do I study from a concept map?
Cover the labels and name each linked idea from memory, then check the map. Once you can rebuild the main branches on blank paper, you know the structure well.
How many main branches should a concept map have?
Most topics work well with five to eight main branches. If a branch needs more than about six sub-points, consider splitting it into its own map.
Can I export my concept map for free?
Exports are paid features. The free plan lets you study the map in your browser, while Plus adds PDF and DOCX export along with Anki and CSV.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan without entering a credit card.
