MindMeister imports FreeMind files. Export a NotebookLM mind map as FreeMind (.mm) with NotebookLM Ultra Exporter, which is free, and use Import in MindMeister to turn it into a shared, editable map.

## Good to know

MindMeister applies its own layout and theme on import.

The extension creates files on your computer. It does not sign in to MindMeister, and nothing is sent to MindMeister until you import the file yourself.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does NotebookLM have a built-in MindMeister integration?

No. Gemini Notebook has no built-in connection to MindMeister. The working route is a file: export from NotebookLM in a format MindMeister reads (FreeMind .mm), then import or open it there.

### Can my team edit the imported map?

Yes. Once imported it is a normal MindMeister map that you can share.

### Does my content pass through a server on its way to MindMeister?

No. Files are converted in your browser and saved to your downloads folder. You move them into the other app yourself.
