What is a family tree?
A family tree is a chart that traces a person’s ancestry and maps the relationships between relatives—living or remembered. It can hold partners, children, chosen family, and the generations that came before.
Unlike a poster of disconnected shapes, a free online family tree maker should keep those links editable. When you add a sibling or correct a parent, the diagram should update from the data.
Why use family trees?
Family trees make heritage visible. They help children learn who belongs to whom, give reunions a centerpiece, and keep names together for memorials, classroom projects, or a simple keepsake at home.
Use this page when you already know the people you want on the chart. It does not search census records or DNA matches—it turns what you know into a clear, downloadable family tree diagram.
A printed chart can start a conversation when relatives gather.
Discover your family story
Add up to 500 people to a tree. The free family tree builder keeps portraits, dates, and relationship lines together, so the chart still reads as a family—not a stack of unlabeled boxes.
After the chart is right, you can print it, save a draft on this computer, or open a holiday page if you want a Family Book from the same names.
Decorate your trees
Switch a classroom, botanical, memorial, or photo template without redrawing names. Connectors stay attached to the people they belong to. Upload portraits, then export a chart that looks finished enough to print.
Compare different visual treatments while keeping the same family facts.
A finished file could become a personal keepsake after you print and frame it yourself.
Shared with generations to come
Drafts save on this computer as you work. Download PNG for group texts, PDF for the printer. Sign in only if you want the same tree on your phone later.
Types of family tree you can build
Ancestor chart
Start with yourself and add parents, grandparents, and earlier generations upward. Most personal family trees begin here.
Descendant chart
Start with an older relative and map children, grandchildren, and later branches downward for reunions or estate context.
Blended family chart
Include adoptive, step, foster, and multiple partners without forcing one biological shape. Connections stay explicit.
Printable keepsake
Same people and edges, different template—classroom, gift, memorial, or photo-forward—then export PNG or PDF.

About this tool
A chart for the family facts you already have
LlamaGen stores people and their connections so the chart can redraw when you edit a relationship. In the editor, select a person, add a relative, enter a name or date, choose a print look, and download the result. The example shown here uses fictional names and sample portraits.
Drafts start on this device. Account save can sync a tree across devices; a JSON backup carries people and relationships but not photos. The maker does not search historical records, perform DNA matching, or import GEDCOM files.
Optional · Family Book
Your family tree can become a keepsake story.
Keep making and downloading the family chart for free. If you want more, use the same people and relationships to create an illustrated Family Book in LlamaGen Studio.
Preview first. Book generation uses LlamaGen credits; no payment is needed to make or export the family tree.
