A.Convert PDF to Mind Map

UPDF AI provides a simple click-based approach to convert a PDF to mind map. The mind map provides a visual explanation of the PDF, which makes it easy to organize content, consume complex content, and find relationships between ideas.

With UPDF AI, you can create a mind map of the entire PDF or specific pages in your preferred language. Once created, you can view the mind map on the full screen, zoom in/out, or download it as an image/markdown/PDF file.

UPDF now even supports inserting the generated mind map into the opened PDF as a separate page. Moreover, you can also get a sharable link to easily share the mind map with others.

Here's how to convert a PDF to Mind Map with UPDF AI:
