The Free Family Tree Maker That Stays Free
Create a beautiful, interactive family tree online, completely free, with no member limits and no premium tiers.
Most "free" family tree makers lock the best features behind paywalls. Family Tree Simple is genuinely free forever, unlimited people, unlimited generations, unlimited trees.
Why Choose a Free Family Tree Maker?
Genealogy should be accessible to everyone. A truly free family tree maker lets you preserve your family history without committing to a subscription, surrendering ownership of your data, or hitting arbitrary member caps just as your tree gets interesting.
With Family Tree Simple you get the full toolkit, multi-partner relationships, location tracking, GEDCOM import/export, public sharing and printable PDFs, at zero cost.
Build Your Tree in Three Steps
- Add yourself, start with one person and a few details.
- Add relatives, parents, siblings, partners, and children grow naturally outward.
- Share or export, invite family, publish a public link, or download a PDF chart.
No Catch. No Credit Card. No Limits.
We don't upsell you to a "Pro" tier because there isn't one. Every feature, bulk editing, photo uploads, GEDCOM transfer, role-based sharing, is free, forever.
