Create an AI mind map in three steps
AI features need Google sign-in (30 shared calls per account each month); local editing and export need no account.
- 01
Enter a topic or paste material
Type a topic, or paste an article, meeting notes, or study material (up to 12,000 characters; split longer material into parts). Pick a template such as learning roadmap or project plan.
- 02
Generate and edit live
AI extracts the structure and writes Markdown. Edit on the left, preview on the right, and expand or simplify the map with one click.
- 03
Export and share
Download a vector SVG, a high-resolution PNG, or the Markdown source for docs, slides, and note apps.
Made for everyday thinking
From studying to work, turn complex information into a structure you can see.
Study notes and revision
Turn textbook chapters and lecture notes into a knowledge framework for faster review.
Book and article summaries
Paste long reads to capture key ideas and how the arguments connect.
Meeting notes
Group scattered notes into topics, decisions, and action items your team can follow.
Project planning
Break a goal into phases, tasks, and risks for an actionable roadmap.
Brainstorming
Start from a single keyword and let AI suggest directions you can keep or cut.
Writing and talk outlines
Build the skeleton of an essay or presentation first, then fill in each branch.
Extend your workflow
Process documents, extract ideas and create diagrams before continuing in the map workspace.
- PDF to MarkdownParse PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, or image documents into clean Markdown you can copy, download, or send to the AI assistant and the mind map workspace.
- XMind to MarkdownConvert .xmind files to Markdown outlines entirely in your browser, supporting both XMind 8 and newer Zen formats, with a sheet picker for multi-canvas files.
- AI Text AssistantUse AI to summarize long articles, polish writing, translate between Chinese, English, and Japanese, explain in plain words, or extract key points — then turn the result into a mind map.
- AI BrainstormGive a topic or some material and AI expands it from angles like users, product, cost, and risks into a hierarchical outline you can open as a mind map.
- AI FlashcardsTurn notes or textbooks into Q&A flashcards: flip them one by one, shuffle, and export as Markdown or an Anki TSV.
- Mermaid DiagramGenerate flowcharts, sequence, state, class, ER, and Gantt diagrams from text, with source editing, live preview, and SVG export.
Start from a template
Load a skeleton into the workspace and replace it with your own content.
Study review plan
Organize a course into key concepts, worked examples, common mistakes, and dated review tasks — with a complete math unit example.
Research reading notes
Work through one research question with claims, source evidence, counterexamples, and open questions — the example keeps evidence and inference apart.
Reading notes framework
Structured book notes along theme, chapters, arguments, quotes, and actions.
Start from real material
Organize research, check citations and turn source material into mind maps, step by step.
Turn meeting notes into a mind map: topics, decisions, action items at a glance
Paste scattered meeting notes into the AI mind map generator and get a map grouped by topics, conclusions, and action items — then export SVG or PNG for your team.
PDF to mind map, the real pipeline: parse → summarize → generate
Parse PDF, Word, or image documents into Markdown, compress them with the AI assistant, then generate a mind map. Covers the 4 MiB limit, OCR, and quota behavior.
XMind to Markdown: fully in-browser, one click into the mind map workspace
Select a .xmind file and convert it locally to a Markdown outline in the browser — XMind 8 and Zen formats, multi-sheet selection, level-4+ topics become list items, then load it into the workspace.
How to organize research sources and check citations
Build a traceable research note from a question, original passages, quotations and claims. Includes a reproducible fictional example, AI limits, privacy and project backups.
Frequently asked questions
Is the AI mind map generator free?
Local editing and export are free with no account. AI features require Google sign-in and share 30 free calls per account each month, resetting on the 1st at 00:00 Beijing time (UTC+8), with no rollover. The site is supported by ads.
Which export formats are supported?
You can export SVG vector images, high-resolution PNG images, and the Markdown source. SVG scales without loss; PNG is ready for documents and social sharing.
Can I edit the mind map with Markdown?
Yes. Use # headings for levels and - lists for branches, and the map updates in real time. You can also import an existing .md file.
Is my content stored?
Drafts are saved only in your browser’s local storage and are never uploaded automatically. Your text is sent to the AI model provider only when you generate or refine a map.
Can it turn a long article into a mind map?
Yes. Paste an article, meeting notes, or study material of up to 12,000 characters (split longer material into parts) and AI will organize the key points into levels. The editor and Markdown file import support up to 30,000 characters.
Which languages are supported?
The interface is available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese, and you can choose the output language separately.
