A free, open-source AI mapper with API access and broad source importing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Mind Map Wizard is a web-based AI mind mapping tool for turning topics, text, PDFs, images, URLs, and YouTube videos into visual maps. It is aimed at students, teachers, researchers, writers, marketers, product teams, and other users who need to organize source material visually. Maps can be edited directly at the branch and text level, styled with fonts, shapes, and colors, and enhanced with images, checklists, collapsed branches, and AI-assisted branch expansion. The service is open source and available through the web and an API.
The Free plan costs $0 USD per month and includes three free AI mind maps, editing, link sharing, and watermarked exports. Pro adds more than 500 AI mind maps monthly, PDF-to-mind-map conversion, an AI chat assistant, and watermark-free exports. Enterprise includes everything in Pro, plus team collaboration and enterprise SSO. This structure makes the free tier suitable for occasional mapping, while Pro is the more practical choice for regular source conversion and polished exports. Enterprise is intended for organizations that need collaboration and single sign-on.
Mind Map Wizard stands out for the range of inputs it can process and for its text-to-mind-map API. That combination suits users who want to turn research material into editable maps manually or through a programmatic workflow. Direct branch editing, style customization, link sharing, and PDF, JPG, and SVG exports support both working drafts and shareable outputs. Choose it when open-source status, AI imports, and API access matter more than a narrow visual mapping workflow. Users who need team collaboration should choose Enterprise, while occasional users may find the Free plan’s map allowance and watermarked exports restrictive.
