FAQ
FAQs
How do I turn a YouTube video to mindmap?
Paste the YouTube URL and click generate. The AI uses the video title as the root, maps chapters to branches, and extracts key topics as child nodes. You can edit labels, merge nodes, and rearrange the structure before exporting.
Can it use the YouTube transcript for details?
Yes. When available, the transcript helps identify themes and subpoints that become child nodes. You can prune, rename, or group nodes to fit your learning or planning goals.
Will my mind map show labels by default?
Yes. Labels are shown for readability. You can fine‑tune font size, node size, link width, and spacing in General Settings, and toggle collapse or zoom in Display Settings.
Can I map video chapters and timestamps?
Chapters become branches. If timestamps are present, the AI can keep them as part of node labels or notes so you can jump back to the moment in the video while reviewing.
How do I customize the layout?
Use Display Settings to enable Zoom and Collapse and to set animation duration. In General Settings, adjust Node Spacing, Font Size, Node Size, and Link Width for a clean, readable layout.
What export options are available?
You can export PNG or SVG for slides, docs, or printing. You can also share a link or embed the map on your website for easy access.
Is this better than manual mind mapping?
For video content, AI saves significant setup time by extracting structure automatically. You still control the hierarchy and labels, so the result is both fast and accurate to your needs.
Does it work for topics beyond YouTube?
Absolutely. You can paste any text outline or type by hand. The tool is optimized for YouTube video to mindmap, but it also excels with notes, lectures, and project briefs.
Do I need an account to try it?
No. You can create and export for free without signing up. Accounts unlock saving, embedding, and file uploads.
How does the AI handle non‑English videos?
The system supports many languages. If chapters or transcripts are available in that language, the AI will map them; you can edit labels in your preferred language.
