Export a node, branch, or entire mind map

These steps apply to mind maps in Infinite documents, Vertical documents, and Paged notes. Decide whether to share a single concept, a branch, or the whole map before choosing the export scope.

Choose what to export

Select a node and open More → Export.
Choose the scope below.
Check the export preview and set the format and background options.
Tap Export, then save or send the file through the system share sheet.

Option	Includes
Current Node	Only the selected node object
Mind Map from Current Node	The selected node and its descendants; available for a non-root node with descendants
Mind Map	The entire map

A node without children does not offer the branch scope. To export the whole map from its root, choose Mind Map.

The Export submenu offers Current Node, Mind Map from Current Node, and Mind Map. Blue arrows point to the Packing node alone, its descendants and handwritten note, and the complete Japan Trip map. — Current Node exports one object; Mind Map from Current Node exports its branch; Mind Map exports the whole structure. Check the scope in the preview. Tap to view the original image

Set the output format

Choose PNG, JPEG, or PDF. PNG works well in other documents and can preserve supported transparent areas when the background color is excluded. JPEG is widely compatible but does not support transparency. PDF is useful for reading or printing.

Review options such as Include Background Color and Include Content on Attachments to check the background and content drawn over nodes. For large maps, inspect text clarity and the actual PDF layout. A complete-looking canvas does not replace checking the export preview.

Export Options previews the Japan Trip map with colored nodes, connections, and handwriting. PNG is checked; JPEG and PDF are also available. Include Background Color is off, and Export is at the upper right. — Check the nodes, connections, and handwriting, choose the format and background setting, then tap Export.

Check collapsed branches and handwriting

Expand every branch you want to share, then inspect the export preview. Collapsed nodes and associated handwriting may be hidden; do not assume hidden content has been checked in the preview.

Exported images and PDFs show the result but do not retain the editable node structure. Share a native Prodrafts document if the recipient needs to reorganize the map.

Only one box was exported

Check whether you chose Current Node.

The branch option is missing

Select a non-root node with children.

Text is too small in the result

Export separate branches or adjust the map layout before exporting again.
