Free family tree tools
Everything here is free and works in your browser without an account. The chart makers all use the same family tree, so you type your family once and turn it into a family tree, a pedigree chart, a fan chart or a shajra whenever you like.

Private by design
Without an account, your family tree and photos are saved only in your browser. The GEDCOM viewer and relationship calculator work entirely on your device, and nothing you type into them is sent to the server.
One tree, every chart
The chart makers are views of the same family tree, not separate drawings. Correct a date once and every chart and download is updated. New to this? Start with how to make a family tree.
Frequently asked questions
Are these family tree tools free?
Yes. Every tool, chart and download is free, with no sign-up and no paid plan. Trees are saved in your browser unless you choose to use an account.
Which tool should I start with?
Start with the family tree maker and add yourself, your parents and grandparents. The pedigree chart, fan chart and shajra nasab are then drawn from the same names, so you never type your family twice.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything runs in a modern web browser on a computer, tablet or phone. There is nothing to download or install.
Can I use these tools with a GEDCOM file from another program?
Yes. Open the file in the GEDCOM viewer to read it, or import it into the editor to make charts and print them. Your original file is never changed.
