FAQ

Tutorials & Tips

How to make a family tree in Excel or Google Sheets?

While you can create a family tree in Excel by manually inserting shapes and lines, it is time-consuming and difficult to format. A faster alternative is to use Family Tree Maker. Our automatic family tree generator instantly arranges your data into a professional chart. You can then export it as a PNG image and simply paste it into your Excel spreadsheet.

How do you make a family tree on Word or Google Docs?

To make a family tree in Word, you typically use the "SmartArt" hierarchy tool. However, these templates are rigid and hard to customize. For a flexible, auto-layout experience, create your tree on Family Tree Maker for free. Once generated, download your high-resolution family tree image and insert it directly into your Word document or Google Doc for school projects.

How to make a family tree in PowerPoint?

PowerPoint is great for presentations, but drawing connection lines manually can be messy. The best way is to generate your lineage chart using an online family tree maker like ours. We handle the layout automatically. You just type names, download the transparent PNG, and drop it onto your PowerPoint slide for a professional look.

How do I export and print my family tree?

Does my data save automatically if I close the browser?

Your family tree data is saved locally in your browser's cache.

Since we require no login, we recommend downloading your chart image frequently to keep a permanent copy.
