Free Genogram Maker

A genogram maps people and family relationships across generations using defined symbols.

Use this genogram maker to map people, partner unions and child relationships. Each person has a unique ID, so repeated names remain distinct. Supported symbols show sex, death, an index person, divorce and adoption. The browser validates and lays out up to three generations. Edit the example or your JSON, inspect the family structure, export SVG or PNG and save the configuration locally.

Genogram Maker · Features

The genogram maker combines these steps in one workflow.

Identify people reliably

Unique person IDs keep relatives distinct when names repeat. Labels remain editable as part of the configuration.

  • Identify people reliably
  • Choose an example and adapt it to your task.
  • Start with your own input and inspect the result before exporting.

Describe family relationships

Record partner unions and children explicitly, with supported divorce and adoption markers.

  • Describe family relationships
  • Choose an example and adapt it to your task.
  • Start with your own input and inspect the result before exporting.

Lay out three generations

The tool arranges supported relationships by generation and rejects cycles or structures outside its supported range.

  • Lay out three generations
  • Choose an example and adapt it to your task.
  • Start with your own input and inspect the result before exporting.

Save a reusable configuration

Export SVG or PNG and keep a local JSON configuration to reopen the same structured family map.

  2. Describe family relationships

    Record partner unions and children explicitly, with supported divorce and adoption markers.

  3. Lay out three generations

    The tool arranges supported relationships by generation and rejects cycles or structures outside its supported range.

  4. Save a reusable configuration

    Export SVG or PNG and keep a local JSON configuration to reopen the same structured family map.

Three-generation family with divorce, adoption and an index person

Teach family mapping

Use a fictional three-generation example to explain how people, unions and children relate.

Explore this example
Two-generation family with a divorced couple and one child

Compare symbol meanings

Show a supported symbol beside its legend and discuss what it means in the chosen convention.

Explore this example
Adoption marked with a dashed child relationship

Practice relationship entry

Create a small family first, then add a generation while checking each person's ID.

Explore this example
Adoption marked with a dashed child relationship

Represent adoption

Use the adoption marker on the child relationship and inspect that it connects to the intended union.

Index-person arrow on the third-generation Alex

Handle repeated names

Give two relatives the same display name but different IDs so their relationships remain separate.

Prepare a reusable teaching figure

Save the JSON configuration with the exported diagram so the example can be adapted later.

Genogram Maker · Research scenarios

The teaching example needed three generations without making the diagram too crowded. I used the genogram maker with a seven-person fictional family and checked the partner and child relationships. The exported SVG gave my lecture a readable reference, while the saved JSON let me reopen the same example for the next seminar.
