How it works

Add your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file, or a photo of a page.

Review the branches

The generator sorts your content into a main topic and supporting sub-points.

Edit and explore

Adjust the map, then click through it to test what you remember.

A mind map works best when you can change it. Move a branch that belongs under another topic, delete a detail you do not need, and add your own examples. The map then reflects your understanding, not a generic outline.

Frequently asked questions

How many branches should a mind map have for French greetings?

Five to seven main branches work well for a short topic like French greetings, with two to four sub-points under each. Fewer branches keep the map easy to review before a quiz.

How do I study a mind map so it sticks?

Cover the branches and recall each sub-point out loud, then check the map to see what you missed. Redraw the map from memory a day later to test what you kept.

Is the free plan enough to try it?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports to PDF or DOCX are paid features on the Plus plan.

Can I use my own notes or a PDF?

Yes. You can upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or a photo of a page, and the map is built from that material.
