Mind Map Maker for Excel
Convert Excel text lists into mind maps automatically.
Mind Map Maker is an intuitive mind mapping tool that runs natively inside Microsoft Excel. Instead of manually drawing shapes or wrestling with lines on a blank digital whiteboard, you simply write down a structured node list in plain text and click a button to generate the diagram automatically! It completely eliminates the tedious manual alignment process, allowing you to focus on your data while the layout engine handles the geometry.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I'm excited to share Mind Map Maker for Excel.
If you use Excel heavily for project management, brainstorming, or data organization, you know that Excel isn’t built specifically for freeform diagrams. Traditional SmartArt can be rigid, and manual shape placement is a huge time sink.
We built Mind Map Maker to fix this by bridging the gap between structured data and visual maps without forcing you to leave your spreadsheet.
Here is what makes it special:
Automatic Layout Engine: Stop wasting time manually aligning boxes. The add-in calculates geometry and aligns the shapes for you based on your list.
WBS Data Integration: Convert plain text lists and WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) numbers into beautiful diagrams instantly.
Custom Ribbon Controls: We’ve injected a custom tab right into Excel. You can use workflow buttons like Make Parent, Make Child, Move Up, and Move Down to rapidly reorganize your ideas.
Total Style Control: The layout configurations and design choices are dictated directly by underlying stylesheets. Adjusting these customizable Excel templates empowers you to transform color schemes, node formats, and borders instantly to match your strict company brand style guidelines.
Flexible Directions & Layouts: You can control whether to split the chart or not, arrange the parent-child relationship vertically or horizontally, and selectively choose which level of nodes to show.
Easy Exporting: Easily export the sheet (chart and node table) or just the selected area to PDF and image formats.
We’d love for you to try it out on your next project outline or org chart. Let us know what you think, and I’ll be here all day to answer your questions! 🚀
