Turn your PDFs and notes into an editable AI mind map
Upload a lecture PDF, a Word file, slides, or typed notes, and get a mind map with branches you can reshape and explore while you study.
Why a mind map helps when you study from a lecture
A Miro-style AI mind map generator starts with the messy part of studying: a 40-slide deck or a 25-page reading with no clear hierarchy. Instead of drawing the map by hand, you upload the material and get a central topic with the major ideas arranged around it.
- Turns a PDF, slide deck, or photo of notes into a map with a clear central topic
- Keeps every branch editable so you can correct and reorganize the structure
- Lets you explore the map branch by branch instead of scrolling a wall of text
- Pairs the map with flashcards and quizzes from the same material when you are ready to test recall
Starts from your own material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or a photo of a page. Text in images is read with text recognition, so handwritten-free printed pages work too.
Editable structure
The map is a starting point, not a final answer. Change branches, reword nodes, and reorganize the layout to match how your course groups ideas.
Explorable on screen
Move through the map branch by branch, collapse what you have learned, and open the detail under each node when you need it.
How it works
Upload your notes or file
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file, or photo of your pages. No credit card is needed to start.
Generate the mind map
DeckOwl builds a central topic with branches for the main ideas and sub-points under each one.
Edit and study it
Adjust the branches, then study the map in your browser. Plus adds exports for PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV.
The useful part is what happens next. You can correct anything the generator got wrong, move a weak branch under the topic it belongs to, and keep the map as a reference while you review. Because each branch holds only a few sub-points, the map shows the structure of a subject at a glance, which is hard to see in a linear summary.

Frequently asked questions
How do I organize study notes into a mind map?
Put the main topic in the center, then give each major idea its own branch. Keep each branch to two to four sub-points, and add details only after the top-level structure makes sense.
How often should I review a mind map to remember it?
Review it within a day of making it, then again a few days later and once more after about a week. Spacing reviews out this way tends to hold up better than one long session.
Can I edit a mind map after it is generated?
Yes. You can adjust the branches and wording after generation, and the free plan lets you study the map in your browser.
Can I export my mind map?
Exports are part of the Plus plan, which is $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month and also includes unlimited generations. The free plan includes 3 generations per month with no exports.
