SpawnGraph turns text, URLs, PDFs, YouTube videos, and more than 93 file types into editable hierarchical mind maps. Inputs include Office files, EPUB, Markdown, images with OCR, audio, video, transcripts, and maps from other mind-mapping tools. Its browser structuring step uses native natural-language processing rather than GPT, language-model APIs, or a server-side model. Text, Office documents, and Markdown are parsed locally; images and some legacy formats are sent to its server for text extraction. Collaboration features include live cursors, presence avatars, and edit-locking across plans, while Premium allows up to 20 live editors per board. Free exports include watermarked PNG, CSV, OPML, plain text, YAML, HTML, TSV, and FreeMind. Paid plans add formats including PDF, SVG, JPG, WebP, Markdown, JSON, PPTX, XMind, and knowledge ZIP exports. The Free plan is free, with two saved mindmaps, a 10 MB upload limit, 10 file imports per day, and 30 image uploads per day. Solo Pro is $5 a month, billed $60/year. Windows and Linux desktop apps work offline, and the browser app works offline after loading. The listed supported platforms also include web.
