    Press Export and pick a format

    PNG saves the chart as a picture, exactly as it is laid out on screen. PDF opens a print-ready version you can print or save as a PDF. GEDCOM is the standard genealogy file, and CSV is a spreadsheet that includes the relationships.

    The first option, Make a gift, opens the poster and family book studio.

    Tip: Before exporting a big tree, use the layout button and zoom to frame the part you want in the picture.

    Image, PDF, GEDCOM or spreadsheet.

Common questions

Can I export without an account?+

Yes, as an image or PDF: we just ask for an email to send it to. GEDCOM and CSV exports 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.
