Share your mind map with a link, or embed it anywhere

Publish a map once and it lives everywhere: a read-only link for anyone, and an iframe embed for your docs, wikis, and boards.

You mapped out a decision, a research topic, or a project, and now someone else needs to see it. A screenshot loses the depth. A bullet-list export loses the structure. The map itself is the artifact worth sharing, so now you can share exactly that.

Every map has a Share dialog with two outputs: a public link and an embed snippet. Both show the live map, read-only, to anyone. No account needed on their side.

Here is one, live

This is the same map we show on our landing page: how Veritasium might have researched his blue LED video. It is not a video or a screenshot. Pan it, zoom it, expand a branch, click a node and read the full answer.

That frame is one copied snippet. Nothing else.

  1. Open your map and hit Share.
  2. Turn on public access.
  3. Copy the link and send it.

The link opens a full-page read-only viewer with the whole canvas: pan, zoom, expand and collapse, in-map search. Logged-in visitors can clone the map into their own account and take it from there, which makes a public map a template as much as a document.

The link serves the map live. Keep working on it and everyone with the link sees the current state, not a snapshot from the day you shared it.

Embed it anywhere

The Share dialog’s second output is an iframe snippet:

<iframe src="https://mindmap.io/app/embed/<your-map-id>" width="100%" height="600"
  style="border:0;border-radius:12px;max-width:100%" loading="lazy"
  title="mindmap.io embedded map"></iframe>

Paste it into anything that accepts an iframe: Notion, Confluence, Coda, a Miro board, your blog, your internal docs site. The embed is chromeless, so it reads as part of the page, with one corner button that opens the full viewer. For Miro specifically we wrote a step-by-step guide.

Two details worth knowing:

  • It opens where you point it. The snippet carries the node and zoom level you had selected when you copied it, so the embed lands on the branch that matters, not always the root.
  • You stay in control. Un-publish the map and every link and embed of it stops working at that moment. Publishing is a switch, not a one-way door.

What stays private

The public payload is the map content only: the title, the nodes, and their summaries. Your AI instructions, your account details, and which models you used never leave the app.

Have a map worth showing? Open it, hit Share, and send the link. If it still only exists in your head, start the map for free first.
