FAQ
Mind map FAQs
What is an AI mindmap generator?
It’s a tool that turns a short description or outline into a complete mind map with labeled nodes and branches. You can edit the hierarchy, collapse sections, zoom, and export your map in common formats.
How do I create a mind map with AI?
Type your main idea and key branches, then run Generate. The AI proposes a clean structure. Use + Child to add branches, edit Node labels, or remove nodes. Adjust spacing, sizes, and animation for readability, then export PNG or SVG.
Can I collapse and zoom branches?
Yes. Enable Collapse to hide or reveal details by branch, and Enable Zoom to navigate larger maps without losing context. These settings help present high‑level ideas first and drill down when needed.
Is this a free mind map generator?
Yes. You can generate, customize, and export maps for free. Optional upgrades let you upload files, save versions, and embed charts for ongoing projects.
Does the AI mind map maker support labels and formatting?
Yes. Show Labels is on by default, and you can control Node Spacing, Font Size, Node Size, Link Width, and Animation Duration to fit screens or printouts.
Can I convert an outline or notes into a mind map?
Absolutely. Paste your outline and the AI maps headings and bullets into parent and child nodes, preserving hierarchy. You can refine levels and naming as needed.
Is the tool suitable for teams and teaching?
Yes. Mind maps are great for workshops, classes, and planning sessions. Share a link for quick reviews, present with collapsed branches, and export clean visuals for slides.
What’s the difference between a mind map and a concept map?
A mind map radiates from one central idea with hierarchical branches. A concept map may include cross‑links and multiple root concepts. This tool focuses on clear, hierarchical mind maps.
