How to use it

  1. 1

    Start in the middle

    Place your central topic as a labelled shape in the centre of the canvas.

  2. 2

    Branch out

    Add a node for each related idea and connect it back to the centre, then branch again from there.

  3. 3

    Export your map

    Save to PNG or SVG when the map is full, or copy it into your notes.

When it comes in handy

Brainstorming

Get every idea about a topic out of your head and onto one canvas.

Study notes

Map a subject into branches so the structure is easy to revise from.

Planning content

Branch out the sections of an article, talk or project before you start.

Instant & 100% private — nothing is uploaded

Everything you draw is handled right here in your browser. Your canvas is never sent to a server, so there is no sign-up, no email wall, and no project cap from us. Load the page once and it keeps working even if you go offline.

Frequently asked questions

How many branches can I add?
As many as you like. The canvas is effectively infinite, so a map can keep branching outward without hitting a page edge, and you can zoom out to see the whole thing.
Can I colour-code branches?
Yes. Give each branch its own stroke and fill colour so related ideas read as a group, which makes a busy map much easier to scan.
How do I export or save my mind map?
Export to PNG for a flat image or SVG to keep it crisp at any size, or copy a selection to your clipboard. The map also autosaves in this browser, so you can close the tab and return to keep building it.
Can I turn my mind map into an outline or notes?
There is no automatic outline export; the map is a visual canvas. You can export it to PNG or SVG to paste into your notes, or type the branch labels into a document to build a written outline from the structure you mapped.
