Built from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or a photo of a page. The mind map follows the structure of your own readings and lecture notes.

Editable branches

Rename, move, or delete branches as your understanding changes. Add your own sub-points next to the ones the AI found.

Explore at your own pace

Expand and collapse sections to focus on one period or theme at a time. Turn a branch into flashcards or a quiz when you want to test yourself.

How it works

Upload your file

Add the PDF, slides, or notes for your history unit. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.

Generate the map

The AI pulls out the main themes, causes, people, and dates and arranges them as a branching map.

Edit and study

Adjust the structure, then explore it in the browser. Free accounts study in the browser; exporting files is part of Plus.

A map built from your own file keeps the sequence of events, the causes, and the key figures in the order your course uses. You can then reshape it as you learn, which makes it a study tool rather than a static handout.

DeckOwl starts with no credit card, and the free plan lets you make a few generations per month. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export.

Frequently asked questions

How do I study a history mind map effectively?

Try to recall each branch from memory before you open it, then check what you missed. Explain the links between branches out loud, such as how a cause led to a later event.

What should a history mind map include?

Focus on causes, key people, dates, and consequences, grouped by theme or period. Keep each branch short enough to recall in one breath.

Can I export my mind map to a PDF?

Exporting files such as PDF is part of the Plus plan, not the free plan. The free plan lets you study in the browser.

Does the free plan include unlimited mind maps?

No, the free plan includes 3 generations per month. Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month removes that limit and adds exports.
