What is a PDF mind map?

A PDF mind map turns a linear document into a visual structure of concepts, hierarchies, and connections. Kiuwo helps you move from pages to an overview you can explore and edit.

How it works

From pages to a visual structure

Kiuwo identifies the document’s key concepts and organizes them into branches you can explore and rework.

  1. 1

    Start from the source

    Upload the PDF

    Upload one of the listed file formats. The original material remains the starting point for the map.

  2. 2

    Organize

    From pages to a visual structure

    Kiuwo identifies the document’s key concepts and organizes them into branches you can explore and rework.

  3. 3

    Check and reuse

    Explore and edit the generated mind map.

    Check the concepts, change the structure, and adapt the map to your goal. The result is not something you have to accept passively.

A concrete result

From the source to a map you can control

Kiuwo makes concepts, hierarchies, and relationships visible in an editable map. Start from the overview, then return to the details when you need them.
