After the export, manually copy the directory with all the images used in your mind map to same location where mind map file ( *.mm) resides.This will ensure that all the paths to images are relative (e.g. files or images) which is located in the same directory with mind map file ( *.mm). Store all the images used inside your mind map in one directory (e.g.In order to fix this you have to follow the following rules: This is because images were not exported together with the map. You will find quickly that images which are used in the mind map itself (inserted using option Insert -> Image…) are not displayed by the applet.

That’s it, save the file and open it in the browser. In order to make it work, you have to edit Test.html file and specify the page title. Here, there is a small issue, at least in my case. You will see the Test.html file and a Test.html_files directory. After clicking OK go to the directory where you saved the file. Go to File -> Export -> As Java Applet… and choose the destination file name, let’s say Test.html. There a two ways for exporting mind maps as Java Applet: Flash application is very fast but it has a totally different look and feel and doesn’t support rich formatted text. I will describe how it can be done below.).

The difference between these two is that Java Applet looks exactly like maps on the screen of FreeMind but needs longer to be loaded (This can be fixed by deploying the Java Applet using Java Web Start technology. These two options can be used to bring mind maps into the Internet. Starting with FreeMind 0.9.0 two new export options were added: Flash and Java Applet. Even if FreeMind has many options for exporting mind maps, most of them are not suitable for publishing on the Internet (especially for big mind maps). Your next question might be: Why to export mind maps as Java Applet if there are so many other options? Here is the answer.

For example the image which you see above was created using Export as PNG option ( File -> Export -> As PNG…). FreeMind has plenty of options for exporting mind maps.
