How the mind map maker works with your own material

Most people who want a mind map maker tied to Google are really trying to turn a long reading or a slide deck into something they can see all at once. DeckOwl reads your PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or a photo of a page and builds a map of the main ideas and their sub-points. Each branch can be edited, reordered or expanded, so the map reflects your course rather than a generic template.

Editable branches you can rename, move or delete
Explore by clicking into sub-points at your own pace
Works from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study
