How a study PDF becomes a mind map
A good study PDF mind map maker starts with the document's own structure: headings, section titles and bolded terms usually become the main branches, with supporting points underneath.
- Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages

- Start free in the browser with no credit card required
Works with your own files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition.
Editable branches
Rename, move, add or delete nodes so the map matches how your course organizes the material.
Explore at your pace
Collapse and expand branches to focus on one section at a time, from the big picture down to supporting details.
How it works
Upload your PDF
Add a chapter, lecture deck or set of notes from your own course material.
Review the generated map
Check the main branches and details, then adjust anything that does not match your reading.
Study and expand
Explore the map branch by branch, and turn key nodes into flashcards or quiz questions when you are ready.
Because the map comes from your own material, it reflects what your instructor actually covered. You can reorder branches, merge overlapping topics or add notes where the original text was unclear.
Once the map is set, you can use it to see how ideas connect before an exam, which is often harder to do when reading a long PDF page by page.

Frequently asked questions
How many main branches should a mind map of a long chapter have?
Most chapters work well with five to eight main branches, each covering one theme with supporting details beneath. Too few branches usually makes the map too general to review from.
How do mind maps help when studying history like the American Civil War?
They show how causes, campaigns, leaders and outcomes connect, which is easier to recall than a list of dates. Linking each event to its effect on the war's outcome helps you explain the bigger picture on exams.
Can I export my mind map?
Exports are part of the Plus plan at $39 per year or $7.99 per month, which includes PDF and DOCX export. The free plan lets you study your maps in the browser.
Does it work with scanned pages or photos?
Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can map material you only have as pictures.
