Markmap Mind Map
Turn Markdown into a zoomable mind map.
Headings and lists work best.
You can pan/zoom. Export SVG for sharing.
What is Markmap
Turn a Markdown outline into an interactive mind map: headings become branches and nested bullet lists become leaves, rendered as a draggable, zoomable node tree on the right. The editor persists to localStorage so your draft survives a refresh, and the map exports as an SVG file.
How to use Markmap
- Paste Markdown into the editor (headings + nested lists)
- The mind map renders live on the right
- Pan, zoom and collapse branches; export the SVG when done
Frequently asked questions
What Markdown structure works best?
Headings become main branches and nested bullet lists become sub-branches — keep it to about 4 levels or the map gets crowded.
Is my draft saved?
The editor content persists in your browser's localStorage, so a refresh won't lose it — but clearing site data will, and there's no sync across devices.
Can I export the mind map?
Yes — the rendered map serializes to an SVG file you can download and embed in docs.
Is Markmap free?
Markmap is completely free — open the page and use every feature with no hidden charges.
Do I need to download or install Markmap?
No download or installation is needed. It is an online tool that runs in the browser on your phone, tablet and computer.
Do I need an account to use Markmap?
No. Use the tool right away — no account or sign-in required.
Does Markmap work on mobile?
Yes. The page is fully responsive and works on phones, tablets and desktop browsers.
