Turn your notes into an editable, explorable mind map
DeckOwl is a study tool, not a JavaScript library. Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes, or a photo of a page and get a mind map you can edit and explore.
What a mind map JS search usually means
Many people who type mind map js into a search box want a JavaScript library for drawing diagrams in code. DeckOwl does not do that. It is an AI study tool that reads your files and notes and builds a mind map you can edit and explore in the browser.
- Editable branches so you can rename, move, or delete nodes
- Explorable layout that expands and collapses each topic
- Mind maps built from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes, or photos of pages
- Free plan includes studying in the browser; exports need Plus or Pro
Editable branches
Rename, move, or delete any node so the map matches how you think about the material.
Explorable layout
Expand and collapse topics to focus on one part of a chapter at a time.
Works from your own files
Build a map from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes, or photos of pages read with text recognition.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file, plain notes, or a photo of a textbook page.
Generate the mind map
DeckOwl organizes the main ideas into branches and sub-points.
Edit and explore
Adjust the branches, collapse what you have mastered, and expand what needs review.
Mind maps suit subjects with many linked ideas, like algebra, where one method connects to several rules. Start with a chapter of notes and the map shows how each equation type branches from the core operations.

Frequently asked questions
How do I study a mind map of basic algebra equations?
Start at the center and explain each branch aloud before checking your notes. Then cover one branch and rebuild it from memory, which tests recall better than rereading.
How many branches should a mind map for basic algebra equations have?
Four to seven main branches usually work well, such as solving linear equations, the balance rule, and checking answers. Each branch can hold two to four sub-points, which keeps the map readable during review.
Can I export my mind map?
Exports are a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
