Turn your LaTeX notes into a mind map you can edit
Printable LaTeX outlines cover the whole language in general. Upload your course material and get a mind map that follows the topics you are actually tested on.
Why a custom LaTeX map beats a blank template
If you want a ready-made LaTeX mind map template to print, most options are general outlines that cover the language broadly. Your course usually covers a narrower slice of it, so a blank template ends up half-filled or padded with topics you never see on an exam.
- Branches drawn from your own LaTeX notes, not a generic outline
- Editable nodes, so you can rename, move, or add sub-points
- Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or photos of pages
- Free plan includes 3 generations a month and study in the browser
Branches from your own material
Upload a lecture PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes, or photos of pages. The map is built from what your course covers, not a generic outline.
Editable and explorable
Rename, move, or add nodes, then expand and collapse branches to focus on one area at a time.
Study from the same map
Turn the same material into flashcards with spaced repetition or a quiz with explanations when you are ready to test yourself.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file, or a photo of your LaTeX notes. No credit card is needed to start.
Generate the mind map
DeckOwl reads the material and arranges the main topics into branches with sub-points beneath them.
Edit and explore
Adjust any node that is unclear or missing, then work through the branches you find hardest.
DeckOwl goes the other way: it starts from your own lecture material and builds the map around the document structure, math mode, lists, floats, and references your course actually uses. You can then edit any branch so the map matches how your instructor organizes the subject.

Frequently asked questions
What should a LaTeX mind map cover?
Start with the core structure: the document class, the preamble, and the document environment. Then add math mode, lists, figures and tables, and cross-references, with the commands your course uses under each branch.
How do I study LaTeX commands from a mind map?
Walk each branch aloud, saying the command and what it does, then check yourself on that branch with a quiz. Revisit the weakest branches the next day rather than reviewing the whole map at once.
Is there a free LaTeX mind map template I can print?
Generic printable templates exist, but a map built from your own notes usually matches your syllabus better. DeckOwl builds one from your material on the free plan, which includes 3 generations a month.
Can I export the mind map?
The free plan is for studying in the browser with no exports. Plus, at $39/year or $7.99/month, adds PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export along with unlimited generations.
