How the mind map maker tool builds your map

Students who sketch ideas by hand often run out of room before the topic does. A mind map maker tool reads your lecture notes or textbook chapter and sorts key terms into a central topic with linked branches, so you can see how ideas connect before you memorize them.

  • Central topic pulled from your headings and key terms
  • Branches you can rename, move, or delete
  • Click-through exploration for studying one branch at a time
  • Works with PDFs, slides, plain notes, and photos of pages

Frequently asked questions

How do I break a solar system chapter into a mind map?

Start with the Sun, the planets, and small bodies as main branches, then place each planet's key facts underneath. Group the inner and outer planets separately so their differences in size and composition stand out.

What should a solar system mind map include?

Include the Sun, the eight planets split into inner and outer groups, dwarf planets, and small bodies like asteroids and comets. Under each, add a few defining features such as composition, number of moons, or orbit length.

Is there a free plan for the mind map maker?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser. No credit card is needed to start.

Can I export my mind map?

Exports are included in Plus, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month and covers PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV files. Students get 40% off with a school email.
