Is this actually free, or will I get charged later?

Free forever for 2 mindmaps and 8 export formats including PNG. No credit card needed to start. Upgrade to Solo Pro ($5/mo yearly) only if you outgrow the limits.

Does my document get sent somewhere?

Your content never leaves your device during generation. We don't see what you paste, upload, or write on the canvas. Open DevTools → Network right now and watch nothing upload — we're proud of that.

PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoint slides, EPUBs, YouTube URLs, audio recordings, and 25+ other formats — 30+ in total. Drop a file, paste a link, or paste raw text. It handles all of them.

Can I use this with my team?

Live collaboration is on every plan, including free. You get up to 5 editors per board with named cursors so you see who's where. Public view links work for anyone — no account needed to read.

Can I change the map after it's generated?

The map is a full editable canvas, not a finished image. Add nodes, delete branches, draw arrows, recolor, drop in images, drag things around. The generation is just the starting layout — the canvas is yours from there.

Do I need a document, or can I just start typing?

Skip the upload — paste raw text, type directly into a node, or start with a blank canvas. A document is one input path, not a requirement.

Can I save it as a PNG or PDF?

Free includes 8 export formats — PNG (with a small watermark), plus CSV, OPML, YAML, HTML, plain text, TSV, and FreeMind. Solo Pro unlocks 9 more — PDF, SVG, PPTX, XMind, JPG, WebP, JSON, and a portable knowledge zip — and removes the watermark.
