Editable maps

Rename branches, move nodes, and reorganize the structure after the AI builds the first draft.

Explorable structure

Expand and collapse branches so you can focus on one topic at a time instead of the whole page.

Works from your files

Start from lecture slides, scanned notes, or a photo of a textbook page read with text recognition.

How it works

Open DeckOwl in your browser

No download or installer is needed. Create a free account without a credit card.

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file, or image of your pages.

Explore and edit the map

Reshape the branches, then study from the same material with flashcards or quizzes.

The map is built from your own material, so the branches reflect your course rather than a generic template. You can edit anything the AI gets wrong, and the free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month. Plus adds unlimited generations and export options for your study files.

Frequently asked questions

How many branches should a study mind map have?

Most useful maps have 4 to 8 main branches, each with two to four sub-points. If a branch needs more, split it into its own map so the structure stays readable.

How do I study from a mind map instead of just looking at it?

Cover the branches and try to recall each sub-point from the main topic, then check your answer. Turning each branch into a question or flashcard gives you active recall, which tends to stick better than rereading.

Do I need to download anything to use DeckOwl on Windows 10?

No. DeckOwl runs in your browser, so there is no installer to download. You can start with the free plan and no credit card.

Can I export my mind map or study files?

Exports are part of the Plus plan, which includes PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exporting.
