QUESTIONS · EXPORTING
How do I export a NotebookLM mind map?
Short answer
NotebookLM only lets you save a picture of the mind map as it is currently expanded. To get the whole map as a file, open it with NotebookLM Ultra Exporter installed and choose an output: OPML or FreeMind for mind-map apps, Markdown for notes, SVG or PNG for images, or interactive HTML. All are free.
Steps
- Install NotebookLM Ultra Exporter in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
- Open the mind map in Studio.
- Click the export entry and wait for the map to be read.
- Choose the output, confirm the content and download.
What to know
- Collapsed branches are included; nothing needs to be expanded.
- You can export one branch instead of the whole map.
- OPML and FreeMind open in XMind, MindNode, Freeplane and outliners.
Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.
Free or Pro?
Free, with no daily export quota and no website account needed. Pro covers the extension only; it does not include a Google subscription or raise NotebookLM's own limits. Current prices are on the pricing page.
