Free Family Tree Generator is a complete, browser-based genealogy application designed to help individuals, families, educators, and historical researchers construct, edit, and export comprehensive family tree charts online without ever having to create an account or sign up for a recurring subscription.
Our platform believes that personal genealogical records and family history belong entirely to you, not on a commercial server behind an expensive paywall. When you build a family tree using our tool, your entire family chart is processed and stored locally directly within your own web browser. No private names, dates, living relative details, or sensitive family relationships are ever transmitted to or stored on remote servers, providing unmatched data privacy and complete peace of mind.
Starting a tree is effortless: simply begin with yourself as the primary person and begin adding relatives in any direction. The application features a flexible and sophisticated relationship model that accurately mirrors modern and historical family structures. Beyond standard parent-child and partner connections, you can effortlessly record marriages, divorces, unmarried relationships, adoptive parents, foster guardians, step-families, half-siblings, and step-siblings.
Each person profile in the family tree allows you to record extensive biographical data, including full birth names, married names, colloquial nicknames, precise or approximate dates of birth and death, exact geographical locations for important life events, and free-form personal notes. The interactive chart provides instant visual feedback, letting you center on any individual to seamlessly examine ancestor lineages upward and descendant generations downward.
For interoperability with other popular genealogy software such as Ancestry, FamilySearch, or Gramps, our generator provides robust support for the industry-standard GEDCOM format. You can easily import existing GEDCOM files (versions 5.5.1 and 7.0) to instantly visualize and edit your tree in the browser, or export your work back into GEDCOM format at any point. Furthermore, you can download complete site backup files in JSON format, ensuring you can transfer your work between devices without risk of data loss.
When you are ready to share or print your genealogy records, Free Family Tree Generator allows you to export high-resolution printable PDF charts, vector SVG graphics, or crisp PNG images. Whether you are assembling a keepsake family history album, preparing a poster for an upcoming family reunion, teaching students about family history, or preserving historical heritage for future generations, our generator gives you all the tools you need completely free of charge. Best of all, there are no hidden paywalls, no trial expirations, and no advertisements cluttering your workspace—just a dependable, accessible, and powerful online family tree generator that is truly 100% free forever.
