Turn any text into a mind map instantly
Paste any block of text — lecture notes, an article, a meeting transcript, or an essay — and SpawnGraph structures it into an editable mind map in seconds. No signup, no upload, no waiting. Everything runs in your browser using client-side NLP.
How it works
- 1Paste your text. Notes, an article, an essay, a meeting transcript — any block of English text up to tens of thousands of words.
- 2SpawnGraph structures it. The NLP engine analyses sentence structure and topic groupings to build a hierarchy of ideas in seconds.
- 3Edit, share, or export. Drag nodes, recolor branches, invite teammates to collaborate live, or export to PNG, CSV, or outline.
What kinds of text can you convert?
Practically any English text works. Lecture notes, essay drafts, meeting transcripts, blog post outlines, book chapters, research summaries, customer interview notes, brainstorm dumps, quarterly review notes — if you can copy it, you can paste it. SpawnGraph identifies headings, sub-points, lists, and cross-references and lays them out as a hierarchical map. There is no enforced structure: messy text becomes a clean tree, and well-structured text becomes a faithful visual outline.
How SpawnGraph processes text without sending it to a server
SpawnGraph uses client-side NLP — you can verify zero network calls during generation by opening DevTools → Network. Every tokenisation, segmentation, and hierarchy decision happens inside your browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is logged, and nothing depends on a remote model staying online. This also means the text-to-mind-map feature works offline once the page is loaded — useful on flaky networks, on a plane, or in any setting where you do not want to ship your raw notes to a third-party service for processing.
Editing your mind map after generation
The generated map is a starting point, not a finished artefact. Drag nodes to reposition them, double-click to rename, add child branches with a single keystroke, recolor groups by theme, collapse dense subtrees to focus, and connect ideas across branches with curved edges. If you invite teammates, you can edit the same map simultaneously with live cursors and conflict-free CRDT sync — every change merges automatically, the same way Google Docs handles concurrent edits.
Export and share options
Export as PNG for slide decks and reports, outline (Markdown) for further writing, CSV for spreadsheets and task trackers, YAML for developer workflows, or share a live link with view or edit permissions. The free plan covers PNG export and link sharing; additional export formats and higher map limits are available on paid tiers.
In short: SpawnGraph converts text into mind maps using browser-native NLP. You paste text, the tool structures it in seconds, and you can edit, share, or export the result. It is free, requires no signup for basic use, and never sends your text to a server.
