Concept map
Multiple concepts, named relationships, and cross-links. Use it to explain systems, theories, causes, and evidence.
FigEditorConcept Map Generator for Linked, Labeled Ideas
Concept Map Generator turns a topic, notes, or source summary into a visual where every connection explains the relationship. Generate labeled links and cross-links, then review and refine the image in FigEditor.

Examples
What Is a Concept Map — and How Is It Different from a Mind Map?
USE THE RIGHT KNOWLEDGE STRUCTURE
Mind map
One central topic with radial branches. Use it to brainstorm, outline, revise, and group ideas quickly.
Online Concept Map Maker for Learning, Research, and Complex Planning
Use a labeled knowledge network when the meaning of each relationship matters as much as the concepts themselves.
Understand and Teach Complex Topics
Synthesize Research and Theory
Map Systems and Decisions
Show Labeled Relationships and Cross-Links in One Map
02 CONCEPT MAP INTELLIGENCE
Name Every Relationship
Connections use short phrases such as causes, requires, supports, includes, or leads to, so each path explains what the relationship means.
Reveal Connections Across the Map
Cross-links join concepts in different regions, helping you see feedback loops, shared evidence, dependencies, and non-obvious relationships.
Download or Continue Refining the Visual
Open the result in FigEditor for image-level AI changes, annotations, cleanup, and another iteration based on the same source material.
Create a Concept Map from Text Without Drawing Every Link
Move from unstructured material to a visual explanation without placing and labeling every connection by hand.
Skip the Blank Canvas
Start with a complete network draft instead of manually adding every concept, connector, and relationship phrase. Faster first draft
Describe Relationships in Plain English
Enter a topic or paste notes. No graph syntax, diagram code, or design experience is required. No code required
See the Credit Cost First
Choose the image model, aspect ratio, and resolution before generation so the cost stays predictable. Transparent workflow
Check What Every Link Claims
A labeled connection makes the map easier to audit because each path can be read back as a sentence and checked against the source. Reviewable propositions
Use the Map in Study and Work
Download a high-resolution image for notes, lessons, papers, slide decks, workshops, reports, or planning documents. Presentation-ready
Keep Important Terms Visible
Name terminology that must stay unchanged, then verify every concept and linking phrase before publishing the visual. Human-reviewed output
How to Create a Concept Map from Text in 3 Steps
Define the focus, list the concepts and relationships, then generate and review the labeled network.
Enter a Focus Question or Paste Notes
Start with the question the map should explain. Add source notes when the concepts and terminology must follow supplied material.
List Concepts and Required Relationships
Name the important ideas, relationship phrases, and cross-links. Mention anything the AI must not invent or rename.
Generate, Read, and Verify Every Proposition
Read each concept-link-concept path as a sentence. Check it against the source, then download the image or refine the visual in FigEditor.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AI concept map generator?
An AI concept map generator turns a topic or source text into a network of concepts connected by labeled relationships. FigEditor asks the selected image model to create concepts, linking phrases, propositions, and supported cross-links that you can review and download as a visual draft.
How do I turn text into a concept map?
Paste a focused source summary, identify the key concepts, and mention relationships that must appear. Generate the map, then read every concept-link-concept path as a sentence. Revise the description and generate again when a concept, label, direction, or cross-link is inaccurate.
What is the difference between a concept map and a mind map?
A mind map starts from one central topic and radiates into mostly unlabeled parent-and-child branches. A concept map can connect several concepts, labels every relationship, and uses cross-links to join different regions. Use a mind map for brainstorming and outlining; use a concept map to explain exactly how ideas relate.
Can I edit the generated concepts and relationship labels?
Revise the original topic or notes and generate another version when the knowledge structure or wording needs to change. You can also open the generated image in FigEditor for image-level AI edits, annotations, cleanup, and visual refinement. The current workflow does not provide node-level graph editing.
Can a concept map include multiple parents and cross-links?
Yes. A concept map is a network rather than a strict single-root tree. One concept can relate to several others, and cross-links can connect different regions when the source supports those relationships. Name the required cross-links in your description for a more controlled result.
How can I make a concept map from a PDF?
The current generator accepts a topic or pasted notes rather than a PDF upload. Extract or summarize the relevant PDF sections, keep important terminology, and paste that text into the Notes mode. Verify every generated concept and relationship against the original pages before using the map.
How much does the online concept map generator cost?
FigEditor displays the required credit amount on the Generate Concept Map button before generation, so the cost is visible before you submit. The total depends on the selected image model and resolution. Review the current pricing page for available plans, included credits, and purchasing options. View current plans and credits
How should I handle private research or study notes?
Remove confidential, identifying, unpublished, or institution-restricted information before using any AI service. Use a short, de-identified summary when the source is sensitive, review FigEditor’s privacy policy, and follow your school or organization’s data-handling and research-ethics rules before generating a map.
