Mind Map Maker
Build a mind map fast: central topic, color-coded branches, keyboard-driven editing (Tab adds a child, Enter adds a sibling, F2 renames, Space collapses, Delete removes), pinch/zoom on mobile, and export as SVG, PNG, JSON or a Markdown outline you can paste anywhere.

How to use this mind map maker
- Click the central node, then press Tab to add a child or Enter for a sibling.
- Press F2 (or double-click) to rename. Space collapses/expands a subtree.
- Pick a theme — branches inherit a color from the palette.
- Use the action bar on mobile if keyboard isn't available.
- Export as SVG, PNG, JSON, or a clean Markdown outline.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference with the org chart maker?
Mind maps are flexible idea trees with optional collapse/expand and color themes. Org charts have name/title/department per node and emphasize hierarchy. Use whichever fits your goal.
Can I export to Markdown?
Yes — Export Markdown outline gives you a nested bullet list you can paste into any markdown editor, GitHub, Notion or doc.
Mind map, concept map, or outline — which should I use?
Mind map: free-form brainstorm radiating from a central idea, fast capture, no relationship types. Concept map: directed graph with labelled edges (X 'causes' Y, X 'is part of' Y) — better for showing relationships. Outline: hierarchical list, best for content that needs to be written or presented in linear order. Start with a mind map; convert to outline when structure stabilises.
