Your family's names stay on this device. The tree is saved in this browser only and is never uploaded. Use Save tree file to keep a copy or move it to another device.
Which chart should I choose?
Every generation back doubles: 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, 16 after that. The chart you choose decides how far back one page can go.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit. The site is paid for by ads.
Where is my family tree saved?
In your own browser, on this device. Nothing is sent to a server. To keep a copy or continue on another device, use Save tree file and open it there with Open tree file.
Can I print it big?
Yes. The PDF is vector, so it stays sharp at any size. Choose Tabloid or A3, or save the image and print it as a poster across several sheets with the Home Print Kit poster maker.
Can I add aunts, uncles and cousins?
The family tree charts follow your direct line: parents, grandparents and further back, plus your brothers and sisters. For aunts, uncles, cousins, step-parents and half-siblings, use the genogram maker, and the cousin chart to see how relatives are related to you.
What if I do not know a name?
Leave it empty. Empty boxes print as blank lines, so you can write the name in later by hand.
