Frequently asked questions
What is a pedigree chart generator?
It’s a tool that creates a structured family tree showing individuals, spouses, and descendants across generations. This generator focuses on clear labels, life ranges, and readable spacing with zoom, pan, and branch collapse.
How do I add spouses and children?
Select a person and use + to add a child or & to add a spouse. You can toggle the spouse position left or right to improve balance. Edges are redrawn automatically to keep relationships accurate.
Can the AI build my family tree from text?
Yes. Describe who is related to whom—spouses and children—and the AI drafts the pedigree layout with names and life ranges when provided. You can refine spacing, text size, and collapse branches for focus.
Is this an online pedigree chart maker I can use free?
You can create and export a pedigree chart online for free. Upgrade later to save more versions or upload files if you need faster setup.
How do I include birth and death years?
Type them alongside the name (for example, 1950–2020). The tool displays life ranges as part of the label to add helpful context without clutter.
