On a saved tree, PNG makes a print-quality poster of your tree and PDF makes a family history book you can print or save as a PDF. Both open the poster and book studio and start the download straight away; change the style there and download again whenever you like. GEDCOM is the standard genealogy file (version 5.5.1); beneath it, GEDCOM 7.0 gives the newest version and With photos gives a GEDZIP (.gdz) with the family's photos inside. CSV is a spreadsheet that includes the relationships.
On a tree you are building without an account, and on the fan chart, PNG and PDF save the chart exactly as it is laid out on screen.
The first option, Make a gift, opens the poster and family book studio without downloading anything yet.
Tip: Exporting a chart as it is laid out on screen? Use the layout button and zoom to frame the part you want in the picture first.

Common questions
Can I export without an account?+−
Yes, as a GEDCOM file: we just ask for an email to send it to. Image, PDF and CSV exports, and Make a gift, need a free account.
Can I choose the paper size?+−
For a print in a chosen size, such as a wall poster, use Make a gift. The poster studio checks that names stay readable at the size you pick.
Can I download everything or close my account?+−
Yes. On a computer, click your name at the bottom of the menu; on a phone, open the menu and choose Account settings. Your data downloads your account details and a GEDCOM file of each tree you own. Delete account is there too, once you have transferred or deleted the trees you own.
