Family Chart Maker

Make a family tree chart you can print and frame

Free to start, no sign-up. Second marriages, half-siblings and big families lay out on their own.

Who is at the top of your chart?

Building and previewing are free. You pay $12 only for the clean print file.

Navy & gold

Sample family. Yours replaces it as you type. The free preview has a watermark; the $12 print file is clean.

A gift big enough for the whole family

Most free templates have one box per parent and room for two or three kids. Here you enter who belongs to whom, and every child sits under the right couple.

  • Second marriages

    Each marriage gets its own branch, joined by a dashed line, so half-siblings sit under their own parents.

  • Big families

    Nine children in one row? The chart grows wider instead of squeezing names.

  • Parents who never married

    A couple without a wedding date is drawn as a couple, just without the “m.” line.

  • Same-sex couples

    Two husbands or two wives are drawn like any other couple, with no pink and blue boxes.

Three steps to a wrapped gift

  1. Step 1

    Add your family

    Type names and years, starting with one couple, or upload a GEDCOM file from Ancestry, MyHeritage or your family tree program.

  2. Step 2

    Pick the chart, look and size

    Descendants, ancestors or hourglass, in four looks, at 11×17, 18×24 or 24×36 inches. Nothing is locked while you decide.

  3. Step 3

    Print, frame and wrap

    Pay $12 for the clean PDF and PNG and print it at a copy shop or online. Short on time? Email the PDF with a note and frame it together later.

Printing and gift tips

  • 18×24 and 24×36 inches are standard poster frame sizes, sold ready-made at most craft and home stores.
  • Ask for matte poster paper. The PDF is vector, so names stay sharp at full size.
  • If an online printer won’t take a PDF, upload the 300-dpi PNG instead.
  • Giving it for the holidays? Leave a few days for printing and framing. Short on time, email the PDF with a note and frame it together later.

Choose a look for their wall

Switch looks as often as you like before you buy. Names, dates and layout stay the same; only the paper, type and lines change.

Navy & gold

Parchment

Minimal

Botanical

Three chart types, one set of names

  • Descendants of a couple

    Everyone who came from one couple: their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, with every marriage. The usual pick for a reunion, an anniversary or a grandparent’s gift.

  • Ancestors

    One person and the generations behind them, from 3 up to 6 generations back. Good for a school project or a pedigree chart from your research.

  • Hourglass

    One person in the middle, their ancestors above and their children and grandchildren below. Shows where a grandparent came from and the family they started.
