Turn your history notes or PDF into a mind map
Upload your readings or lecture notes and get an editable, explorable mind map of the events, causes, and people that matter for your exam.
Why build your own history map instead of downloading one
Most ready-made history mind map PDFs cover a generic timeline that may not match your syllabus. DeckOwl builds history mind maps from your own notes and PDFs, so the branches follow your course readings and lecture slides.
- Branches follow your lecture order and assigned readings.
- Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition.
- Edit nodes so the map reflects what your instructor stressed.
- Turn the same notes into flashcards or a quiz before the exam.
Built from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file, or a photo of your pages, and the map is drawn from what your course actually covers.
Editable branches
Rename nodes, move branches, and delete anything your instructor did not emphasize so the map matches your syllabus.
Explore each topic
Click any node to open the detail behind it, so one map can serve as a quick overview and a study guide.

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or a photo of your handwritten or printed pages, and the AI pulls out the main events, people, causes, and effects into a branching map. You can edit nodes, rearrange branches, and click through each topic to see the detail behind it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I organize a history mind map so it is easy to review?
Start with one central theme, such as the causes of a war, then give each major cause its own branch. Add dates, key people, and effects as smaller sub-nodes so you can quiz yourself from the center outward.
What should a history mind map include for an exam?
Focus on causes, turning points, key figures, and consequences rather than copying every date. Link related events with connecting branches so you can explain how one development led to the next.
Can I download my history mind map as a PDF?
PDF export is included with the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study and explore the map in your browser without exports.
How many mind maps can I create for free?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month, and you can study them in the browser. Plus removes the monthly limit and adds PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export.
