Drop in a GEDCOM export from any genealogy program and see it as a proper interactive tree.

GEDCOM is plain text and unreadable on its own. Upload the file here and it becomes a browsable tree with people, partnerships, dates and places laid out visually.

Open My GEDCOM File

No Install, No Conversion Tool

Older GEDCOM viewers are desktop programs that only run on one operating system. This one runs in the browser on any device, so you can check a file on a phone as easily as a laptop.

What Gets Imported

  • Individuals with names, sexes, birth and death dates.
  • Families, partnerships and parent-child links.
  • Places, which become searchable locations.

View, Edit, Then Export Again

Unlike a read-only viewer, you can correct mistakes after import and export a clean GEDCOM 5.5.1 file back out for use in any other program.

Tools for your family history

  • Opens .ged files from any program
  • Runs in the browser, nothing to install
  • Full GEDCOM 5.5.1 round trip
  • Edit after import, then re-export
  • Free with no file size upsell
