Mind Map Maker

Turn an Outline into a Mind Map.

Loading…

Write your topic on the first line and ideas below it, indenting two spaces for each level. The tool draws the topic in the middle with branches curving out to both sides, each main branch in its own color.

Because the map comes from text, reorganising is cut and paste, and nothing ever needs to be dragged into place. It suits brainstorming, study notes and planning.

How to use the Mind Map Maker tool

  1. Type the central topic on the first line.
  2. Add ideas underneath, pressing Tab to indent sub-points.
  3. Download the map as PNG or SVG.
  • Brainstorming a project or an essay
  • Revision notes for a chapter or a course
  • Planning a website, a talk or a trip

Tips for the best result

  • Keep branch labels to a few words; detail belongs one level down.
  • Five to seven main branches is about what a page holds comfortably.
