Make My Family Chart

Four Chart Layouts, One Data Set

Enter your family once and view it as a classic horizontal tree, a vertical tree that prints beautifully, a compact card grid, or a sortable table. Switching layout never changes your underlying data.

Charts That Handle Real Families

  • Multiple partners, children stay attached to the correct couple.
  • Half-siblings and step-relations, shown clearly rather than flattened.
  • Large trees, pan, pinch and zoom on any device.

Print or Share the Finished Chart

Export any layout to PDF at print quality, or publish a read-only link so relatives can explore the chart without creating an account.

Tools for your family history

  • Automatic connector lines, no manual drawing
  • Horizontal, vertical, card and table layouts
  • Zoom, pan and pinch on mobile
  • One-click PDF export for printing
  • Free forever, unlimited people

Frequently asked questions

Can I print a large family tree chart?

Yes. The vertical layout paginates cleanly, and the PDF export avoids splitting a person card across two pages.

Do I need design skills?

No. Layout, spacing and connectors are generated automatically from the relationships you enter.

Is the chart maker really free?

Yes, every layout and the PDF export are free with no member limit.
