Frequently Asked Questions About PDF Mind Mapping

Addressing common concerns about file handling, structure creation, and sharing capabilities.

Can I upload password-protected or scanned PDFs?

We support standard, text-searchable PDFs. If your PDF is scanned (image-only), standard optical character recognition (OCR) may be required first, as the AI relies on extractable text layers.

What if the AI misses a key concept in my document?

The AI provides the initial structure for efficiency. You can easily review and expand any branch directly within the interface, ensuring your final concept map perfectly reflects your expertise.

Is the generated mind map truly collaborative?

Yes. Once generated, you can create share links to allow colleagues or study partners to view your newly created visual outline. Collaboration focuses on viewing and discussion, not simultaneous editing.

What are the export options for the generated map?

You can download your high-fidelity visualization as a standard PNG image file or as a vector-friendly PDF, making it easy to insert into presentations or print for physical review.
