Use tool ↗About Map This
Map This builds mind maps from source material rather than from a blank canvas: upload a PDF, paste notes, or type a prompt, and it lays out the branches, after which you can edit, save and share the result. Credits meter the work at roughly five per map, so the free tier's ten a month is about two maps, and PDF upload is paywalled entirely. The site claims over 250,000 maps generated and names a four-person team on its about page, but publishes no company, address or country; the copyright line still reads 2023, and the FAQ answers did not render when we visited. Pro is $5.99 a month, or $4.16 billed annually.

Pros & cons of Map This
Map This does one job at a fair price: feed it a PDF or a pile of notes and get a structured mind map you can edit. At $5.99 a month for about fifty maps it is cheaper than the general diagramming tools that bolt mind mapping on. The signals around it are weak, though — no company named, a 2023 copyright line, and a FAQ whose answers do not open.
Pros
- Accepts PDFs, pasted notes or a plain prompt as input
- Free tier works without a card, if only for about two maps
- Pro removes the file-size limit on PDF uploads entirely
- Maps are editable and shareable after generation
Cons
- PDF upload — the headline feature — is locked behind the paid plan
- Free tier's 10 credits cover roughly two maps a month
- No company, address or country published anywhere
- Site maintenance looks thin: a 2023 copyright and FAQ answers that do not open
Best for
- students turning lecture PDFs into revision maps
- anyone who thinks better in branches than in bullet lists
- quick visual summaries of a long document
Not for
- team whiteboarding or real-time collaboration
- anyone who needs an API or export into other diagram tools
Watch out: Credits, not maps, are the unit — a large PDF can consume more than the roughly five credits a simple map costs.
