Turn your notes into an editable mind map with AI
Upload a PDF, a set of notes, or photos of pages, and get a mind map you can rearrange and explore branch by branch.
How an AI mind map generator organizes your material
Scattered lecture notes and a long reading packet are hard to hold in your head at once. An AI mind map generator reads your source and sorts its main ideas into a central topic with branches for each theme.
- Starts from your own PDFs, notes, or photos instead of a generic template
- Shows the hierarchy of ideas so causes, events, and outcomes sit together
- Lets you edit and rearrange branches to match your course outline
- Pairs with flashcards and quizzes made from the same material
Upload what you already have
Drop in PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages.
Editable structure
Rename branches, move ideas, and add nodes so the map matches how your course is organized.
Explore at your pace
Expand and collapse branches to focus on one topic at a time.
How it works
Add your material
Upload a PDF, paste your notes, or photograph a page.
Generate the map
The AI pulls out the key concepts and arranges them into a central topic with branches.
Edit and explore
Adjust the branches, then expand each one as you study.
Because the result is a map rather than a fixed page, you can reshape it. Move a concept under a different branch, remove what your course skipped, or add a link where two ideas connect.

Frequently asked questions
How many branches should a mind map have for the French Revolution?
Most useful maps for this period use 4 to 6 main branches, such as causes, key phases, figures, and legacy. Keep each branch to 2 to 4 sub-points so you can recall it without the source open.
How do I study a mind map so the information sticks?
Cover the sub-points and try to recall each branch out loud before checking. Redraw the map from memory once a day for a few days to strengthen the links between ideas.
Can I edit the mind map after it is generated?
Yes, the map is editable, so you can rename branches, add nodes, and remove anything you do not need.
What does the paid plan add?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month removes the generation limit and adds PDF and DOCX export.
