Blank Family Tree Template

When your family structure does not fit any pre-made shape — large extended branches, multiple marriages, half-siblings — start from a blank canvas instead. This template opens the editor empty: add your first person, connect parents, spouses, and children, and the layout arranges itself as you go.

How to Use This Template

  1. 1

    Add the first person

    Start with yourself or a child of the tree — the person everything else will branch from.

  2. 2

    Connect the family

    Use each card’s menu to add parents, a spouse, or children. Relationships snap into place automatically.

  3. 3

    Style and export

    Add photos, pick a card theme, then export the finished tree as an image file.

FAQ

Is a blank tree harder than using a pre-filled template?

Only at the very start. The automatic layout handles positioning, so you only decide who to add next.

Will I lose my work if I close the tab?

Your tree is saved in your browser automatically. Come back on the same device and it is still there.

Can I start blank and still print?

Yes — export works the same as any template: PNG, JPG, or transparent PNG.
