Turn your PDFs and notes into a free online mind map
Upload lecture slides, chapter notes, or photos of pages, then explore and edit an interactive mind map. The free plan lets you start without a credit card.
How a free online mind map helps you study
Students who search for a free online mind map usually have a stack of lecture slides or chapter notes and no clear picture of how the ideas connect. A mind map puts the main topic in the center and arranges subtopics as branches, so you can see the structure before you memorize details.
- Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, and photos of pages
- Editable nodes so the map matches your course
- Study in the browser on the free plan
- Exports to PDF or DOCX are part of the paid Plus plan
Interactive, editable maps
Click through branches to explore each idea, then rename nodes, move them, or add points so the map matches your course.
Built from your own material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or photos of pages, and the text is read with text recognition before the map is built.
Free to start
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no credit card needed to begin.
How it works

How many branches should a biology mind map have?
Most topics work well with 4 to 7 main branches, each holding 2 to 5 sub-points. Start with the chapter headings, then add detail only where your notes spend the most time.
What is the best way to study from a mind map?
Cover the branch labels and try to recall each sub-point out loud, then check your answer against your notes. Repeat the recall a day or two later to make it stick.
