YouTube to Mind Map: Summarise Any Video Into a Study Map

Paste a YouTube link and Mindmapi.ai turns the video into a clear, interactive mind map of everything it covers. Ideal for lectures, tutorials and revision videos.

Try It Free

Educational videos are full of useful material, but rewatching an hour long lecture to find a single point is slow. Mindmapi.ai uses the video transcript to build a mind map of the main ideas, so you can see what a video covers before you commit to watching it, and revise from it afterwards.

Because the map is interactive, you can expand the sections that matter, add your own notes and export the result, which turns passive watching into active study.

How it works

1
Paste the YouTube link
Create a new subject and add the video URL as a source. You can combine one video with a PDF, a document or notes in the same subject.
2
Let the AI summarise it
Mindmapi.ai reads the video transcript and organises the key points into a structured mind map.
3
Study and keep your notes
Explore the map, generate notes for any topic, and export everything to PDF or DOCX for revision.

Why students use Mindmapi.ai

Understand a video faster

A mind map of the transcript shows what a video covers at a glance, so you can decide what is worth watching in full.

Turn watching into revising

Instead of a video you never return to, you get a structured map you can edit, annotate and revise from.

Combine sources

Add a video on its own, or combine one video with a PDF, a document or notes in the same subject, and Mindmapi.ai will build a single map from them.

Free to start

Your first mind map is free, and everything runs in your browser with nothing to install.

Frequently asked questions

How do I turn a YouTube video into a mind map?

Create a new subject in Mindmapi.ai, paste the YouTube link as a source and start the AI generation. You will get an editable mind map of the video in about a minute.

Does it work for long videos and lectures?

Yes. Longer videos with clear narration, such as lectures and tutorials, produce the most detailed maps, because there is more transcript for the AI to work from.

Does the video need captions?

The video needs a transcript. Most educational videos on YouTube have captions that Mindmapi.ai can use. A video with no captions and no clear speech may not produce a map.
