Make a family tree online, free
Drag-and-drop people, connect generations, export a clean chart. Start from a template or describe your family and let the AI draw it.
A family tree maker is a tool for drawing who is related to whom — people as boxes, marriages and children as connecting lines, generations in rows. GenogramAI is a free online family tree creator with a difference: the same canvas can stay a simple family tree chart, or add the relationship and health layers of a genogram when names alone aren't enough.
One tree maker, four kinds of families
Real families
Map your own family across generations — for genealogy, a school project, or family history you want to keep.
Start from a template →Fictional families
Keep a novel or screenplay’s cast straight — who is whose parent, which marriages matter, where the feuds run.
Fictional family trees →Fantasy worlds
Dynasties, houses, and bloodlines for worldbuilding and campaigns — including long-lived races and tangled successions.
Fantasy family trees →Original characters (OCs)
Give your OCs a canon: parents, siblings, found family, and the relationships between them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this family tree maker free?
Yes. You can build a family tree, connect unlimited generations on the free plan’s canvas, and export your chart as a PNG at no cost. Paid plans add PDF/SVG export, larger trees, and AI features like building the tree from a text description.
Is there a family tree maker template I can start from?
Yes — start from the 3-generation family template, a blended-family template, or any of the 152 free templates. Every template opens in the editor with the structure already drawn, so you replace names instead of drawing boxes.
What is the difference between a family tree and a genogram?
A family tree records who is related to whom — names, generations, descent. A genogram is a family tree with more information on it: relationship quality (close, conflicted, estranged), health conditions, and household structure, using standardized clinical symbols. GenogramAI draws both: keep it simple for a family tree chart, or turn on the extra layers when you need them.
Can I make a family tree chart for fictional characters?
Absolutely — writers and worldbuilders use it to map character families, dynasties, and lore. There are dedicated guides for fictional family trees, fantasy family trees, and OC (original character) family trees, plus ready-made examples like the Game of Thrones and Harry Potter family maps.
Can the AI build my family tree for me?
Yes. Describe your family in plain language — "Maria and Josh married in 1990, two kids, Maria’s parents are Elena and Marco" — and the AI draws the tree with correct generations and connections. You can then edit anything by hand.
