How do I structure topics and subtopics?
Type your central topic on the first line, then use indentation (two spaces or a tab) to mark a subtopic, and indent further for sub-subtopics. The tool reads the indent level to build the tree and lays it out radially around the centre. You can rearrange branches by editing the text; there is no need to drag boxes around the canvas.
Can I export the mind map as an image?
Yes. The map renders as SVG, which you can download and use anywhere; SVG scales to any size without blurring, so it is ideal for slides, posters, or print. If you need a raster image, open the SVG in any browser and screenshot it, or use the PNG export option where available. SVG also opens in design tools like Figma and Illustrator for further styling.
What makes a good mind map?
Keep each node short, ideally one to three words, and aim for three to seven branches off any single point so the eye can scan them. Use a single noun or verb phrase rather than a full sentence. Group related ideas under a parent topic instead of repeating them, and resist the urge to add a fourth or fifth level unless the detail truly belongs there.
Does it work on phones?
It runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet, or phone, but typing nested topics is much easier with a real keyboard. On a phone, expect to do quick edits and reviews rather than building a large map from scratch. The SVG output looks crisp at any zoom level, so a map you build on a laptop will display perfectly on any device you share it to.
Can I share or print the mind map?
Yes. Export the SVG and attach it to an email, drop it into a document, or share via cloud storage. For printing, the SVG scales to any paper size without quality loss; pick landscape orientation for wide maps and "fit to page" so nothing is cropped. Some builds also offer a copy-to-clipboard option for pasting straight into slide decks.
What is the difference between a mind map and an outline?
An outline is a vertical list of nested points, good for sequential reading and document drafts. A mind map shows the same hierarchy radially, so all branches are visible at once and the brain can spot patterns and gaps faster. Mind maps shine for brainstorming, study notes, and project planning; outlines are better when you already know the structure and need to write it up.
