A pedigree chart is a diagram that represents the ancestry or lineage of a person, family, or group across multiple generations, widely used in genetics, genealogy, and family history research. Individuals are shown with symbols (circles for females and squares for males) connected by lines to indicate relationships such as marriages or parent-child links. These charts are especially valuable for tracking the inheritance of traits or genetic conditions, helping researchers and families identify patterns of hereditary characteristics or diseases.

How to Create a Pedigree Chart with Creately

Open a Pedigree Chart Template

Launch Creately, and choose a pre-designed template to get started quickly, or start with a blank canvas for complete creative freedom. Creately’s pedigree chart maker offers customizable templates that make the process easier, especially if you’re new to creating pedigree charts.

Add the Proband and Family Members

Place the proband (the starting person) at the center or bottom of your chart. Then drag and drop shapes to add parents, siblings, children, and continue branching out into multiple generations.

Define Relationships

Use Creately’s line and shape options to represent family links. Solid lines can show biological connections, dashed lines for marriages, and color-coded shapes make it easy to differentiate generations.

Add Information and Customize

Fill in key details like names, birth and death dates, or health notes directly inside each shape. Use the Notes Panel or sticky notes for extra context, and customize fonts, colors, and layouts to match your style.

Review, Collaborate & Share

Invite others to edit or comment in real-time, making it easy to update the chart together. Once finalized, export it as PNG, PDF, or SVG—or share your Creately workspace link for ongoing collaboration.

FAQs about the Online Pedigree Chart Maker

Why should I use an online pedigree generator?

Using an online pedigree tool helps you easily visualize family connections, track ancestry, and highlight genetic traits or hereditary conditions. It’s ideal for genealogical research, medical purposes, and documenting family history—all in one organized workspace.

What symbols does the pedigree creator use?

Creately’s pedigree builder has a library of standard genealogy symbols: squares for males, circles for females, lines to indicate marriages or partnerships, and vertical lines connecting children in birth order. You can also use colors to represent genetic traits or affected individuals.

How many generations can I trace with the pedigree chart maker?

You can build charts that typically cover 3–5 generations, but since the tool allows zooming and expanding, you can extend your chart further as long as you have family data available.

What information can I add to my chart?

Creately’s pedigree maker lets you add names, birth and death dates, and detailed family notes. You can also include medical history, genetic information, occupations, marriage dates, or significant family events using text fields, the Notes Panel, or sticky notes.

Can a pedigree chart be created for any family type?

Yes, an online pedigree maker can create any family structure, whether biological, adopted, or blended. While traditional charts focus on biological relationships, modern charts can be adapted to reflect any family dynamic by using appropriate symbols and annotations.
