Print-ready PDF

Free, no watermark
Every chart is free to download and print, as often as you like.
Prefer to fill it in by hand?
Print a blank family tree template and write the names in.
Which chart should I choose?
- Family tree (3 or 4 generations): the classic picture, with you at the bottom and your ancestors above. Best for gifts, school projects and framing. Brothers and sisters can stand next to you.
- Fan chart (4 to 6 generations): your ancestors as rings in a half circle. It fits the most people on one page, up to 63.
- Pedigree chart (4 or 5 generations): the standard genealogy form, with each ancestor numbered. Best for research and for sharing with relatives who do genealogy.

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 charts follow your direct line: parents, grandparents and further back, plus your brothers and sisters on the family tree. To see how other relatives are related to you, use the cousin chart.
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.
