What file formats are supported?
You can upload standard image files, including JPG, PNG, and HEIC formats. The tool works best with clear, high-resolution text.
Can I edit the generated mind map?
Yes. Once the process is complete, you can manually adjust nodes, reorganize branches, and update text to refine the output according to your needs.
What format is the final mind map?
The final output is a structured mind map that you can further format or export into various standard document and image file types for your presentation or project.
What are the limitations of the tool?
