Free Editable Family Tree Template
In short: Pick a family tree template below and type straight into it — no download, no Word or Canva file to wrangle. Boxes re-arrange themselves as you add parents, children, partners and siblings, so the layout never breaks. When you're done, download a print-ready PDF (Letter/A4 free) or share an interactive link.
How to use it
- Choose 3, 4 or 5 generations (or kids, descendant, blended) from Templates.
- Click each box to type names, years and places; add photos if you like.
- Use + Father / + Daughter etc. for anyone the template is missing.
- Print poster → Download PDF, or Share → copy link.
Templates included
Every template is a live chart, not a static picture:
- 3-generation: you, parents, grandparents
- 4- and 5-generation pedigree (ancestor) charts
- Descendant chart: a couple, their children and grandchildren
- Blended / step family with divorce and remarriage
- Kids & school project layout with a playful style
- Dog and pet pedigree
Why an editable template beats a printable blank
Blank printables assume every family has the same shape. Real families have half-siblings, second marriages, adopted children and unknown branches. Here each box is a person, so adding a fourth child or a step-parent simply re-flows the chart — and you can still print it on one page.
