Turn any PDF into an editable mind map with AI
Upload a lecture PDF, DOCX, or set of notes and DeckOwl builds a mind map with branches you can rearrange, expand, and explore.
Why a mind map helps when your material is a long PDF
Many students end up with a chapter PDF that runs long, and a PDF to mind map maker can pull out the main ideas and arrange them into branches you can scan in minutes.
- Shows how concepts relate instead of listing them in order
- Lets you rearrange branches to match how your course teaches the topic
- Makes gaps visible so you know which sections need a second read
- Works as a starting point for flashcards and practice quizzes
Reads your own files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.
Editable branches

How it works
Upload your PDF or notes
Add a chapter, slide deck, or typed notes. Nothing is needed beyond the file itself.
Let the AI map the ideas
DeckOwl groups related concepts under a central topic and builds the branches for you.
Edit and study the map
Adjust the layout, fix anything the AI missed, and explore each branch in the browser.
DeckOwl reads text from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes, and photos of pages, then groups related concepts under a central topic. You can drag branches, rename nodes, and collapse sections so the map stays readable as you study.
Use the map as a first pass, then check each branch against the source and turn the weakest areas into quiz questions.

Frequently asked questions
How do I organize acids and bases topics into a mind map?
Start with a central node for acids and bases, then create branches for definitions, the pH scale, strong versus weak acids, neutralization, and buffers. Under each branch, add the formulas and examples your course uses.
What should an acid-base chemistry mind map include?
Include the main acid and base definitions, how pH is calculated, the difference between strong and weak acids, and what happens during titration. Adding a buffer branch helps connect the equilibrium ideas together.
Can I export my mind map?
Exports are part of the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month and includes PDF and DOCX export. The free plan lets you study the map in your browser.
How many PDFs can I convert on the free plan?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month, which can be mind maps, flashcards, or quizzes. Plus gives you unlimited generations.
