About the Family Tree Maker

A family tree is one of those things everyone means to make and nobody quite gets around to, because the usual options are a genealogy subscription that wants your whole family uploaded to its servers, or an afternoon fighting a drawing app. This tool is the third option: start with one person, grow the tree with one-click relatives, and the chart lays itself out automatically. Names, dates, places, photos, and stories for every person, then a clean print, a true vector PDF, or a CSV of everyone.

Family data is exactly the kind of information that deserves the browser-only treatment: full names, birth dates, and photos of your entire family, including children, in one document. Here it all stays on your device. The one exception is optional and explicit: Premium members can turn on cloud backup to sync their trees to their own account, and it stays off until they choose it.

Common questions

How do I make a family tree online for free?

Start with yourself or a grandparent, then use the one-click buttons: add a spouse, add children, add parents, add siblings. The chart lays itself out automatically as the family grows. Record birth and death years, places, occupations, notes, and a photo for each person, then print it or download a PDF or CSV. No account needed.

Is my family's information uploaded anywhere?

No. Names, dates, places, notes, and photos stay in your browser on your device, and the tree keeps working offline once the page loads. The one exception is optional: Premium members can explicitly turn on cloud backup to sync their trees to their own account, and it stays off until they do.

Can I print my family tree or save it as a PDF?

Both. Print gives you a clean landscape chart directly from the browser, and Download PDF produces a true vector PDF drawn with real text, so it stays sharp at any zoom and any print size. The CSV export lists every person with their details and relationships for spreadsheets or genealogy software.

What details can I record about each family member?

Name, birth and death years, birthplace, occupation, free-form notes, and a photo. Photos are compressed on your device and shown on the person's card, in the printed chart, and in the PDF.

How does the tree handle multiple marriages or blended families?

A person can have more than one partnership, each with its own children, and the chart draws each couple with their children beneath them. Both sides of a couple can have parents on the chart too: a married-in spouse's parents appear directly above them. Use the root selector to view the tree from any ancestor's perspective.
