Family Tree Generator That Does the Layout for You

Family Tree Simple · Updated 25 September 2026 · 2 minute read

Enter the people, and the generations, connectors and spacing are worked out automatically.

Drawing a tree by hand in a diagram tool falls apart the moment you add a second marriage. A generator recalculates the whole layout every time your family changes.

Generate My Family Tree

Automatic Generation Numbering

The oldest known ancestor becomes generation zero and everyone else is placed relative to them. Add a great-grandparent later and every generation renumbers itself instantly.

Smart Sibling and Partner Ordering

Siblings sort oldest to youngest, partners sit side by side, and children hang from the correct couple even when a parent had several partners.

Frequently asked questions

How many generations can it generate?

There is no cap. Trees with hundreds of people across a dozen generations render fine.

Can I move cards manually?

Layout is automatic so the chart stays consistent, but you can pan, zoom and collapse branches to focus on any part of it.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, with drag panning and pinch to zoom.
