Turn your notes into a free online mind map
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, or photos of pages, and DeckOwl builds an editable mind map you can explore branch by branch.
How the free mind map maker works
Our free online mind map maker turns a messy set of Syncfusion documentation pages or lecture notes into one connected diagram. The main topics become central branches, and the details hang off them as smaller nodes you can open or close.
- Start with a PDF, slide deck, or photo of notes
- Keep branches editable so the map matches your course
- Expand sections to review details one level at a time
- Move from the overview to specific terms without losing context
Editable branches
Rename, reorder, or add branches so the map matches how your course or documentation is organized.
Explorable structure
Expand and collapse sections to move from a broad overview down to individual terms and details.
Works from your material
Start from lecture slides, PDF docs, or typed notes instead of building the map from a blank page.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or a photo of a page. No credit card is needed to start.
Generate the map
DeckOwl reads the material and organizes the main topics into a mind map with sub-branches.
Explore and edit
Adjust the branches, then move through the map to review each section in the order that makes sense to you.
A mind map is most useful when the branches reflect how the material is actually structured. For a software library, that often means grouping by product family, platform, and component type, so you can see how the pieces relate before you memorize individual settings.
The free plan lets you generate up to 3 maps per month and study them in the browser. Paid plans add unlimited generations and exports for sharing or moving the content into other study tools.

Frequently asked questions
How do I organize Syncfusion documentation into a mind map?
Group the content by product family, then by platform or component type, and put specific settings or methods at the lowest branch level. This makes it easier to see which component does what before you study the details.
What should a mind map for a software library include?
Include the main product families, the platforms they support, the core components in each, and the key properties or use cases for each component. Keep the top level to a few broad categories so the map stays readable.
Is the mind map maker free to use?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser with no credit card needed. Exports such as PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV are available on the Plus plan.
Which export options are included in the paid plans?
