Why convert OPML to a mind map?

Outlines are good for writing and bad for understanding. A map shows the shape of your thinking.

Clearer structure

See every level of nesting at a glance instead of counting indents.

Faster to grasp

A visual map makes relationships and groupings obvious in seconds.

Easier to rearrange

Large outlines become something you can expand, collapse, and restructure.

How to use this tool

Three steps, no installation required.

Upload your OPML

Drag the file onto the page, pick it from your computer, or just paste the content.

Review the map

The outline is converted and rendered immediately. Pan and zoom to explore it.

Export or open

Save it as an image, JSON, or Markdown — or send it straight to the Mind Elixir app.
