How the EasyGenogram Builder Works
How to use EasyGenogram in five steps:
1. Open the canvas
Opens with a default family structure already in place. Edit it directly or clear it and start fresh. No download or account required.
2. Add family members
Drag shapes from the panel onto the canvas. Each shape represents one person. Tap any shape to add a name, age, health conditions, and notes.
3. Connect people
Drag from the red dot on any shape to draw a relationship line. Choose from structural types; marriage, divorce, cohabitation, separation, adoption, or emotional types; closeness, conflict, distance, cutoff, enmeshment. Custom Emotional Connections are available for relationships that don't fit a preset category.
4. Add household and health markers
Draw household lines around people who live together. Add color-coded health condition markers for diagnoses, behavioral history, and causes of death.
5. Share or export
Generate a shareable link for remote collaboration, or export as PDF, PNG, JPG, or SVG. Students with a valid school email export free.

FAQ
What is a genogram builder?
A genogram builder is a tool for constructing family diagrams that show relationships, health history, and emotional patterns across generations. Purpose-built genogram builders like EasyGenogram include standard clinical symbols and relationship line types out of the box.
What is the best free genogram builder?
EasyGenogram is free to get started with no cap on how many genograms you can build. Full builder access is available from $9/mo/seat; students with a valid school email get full access including exports.
How do I make my own genogram?
Open Easygenogram’s builder with standard symbols already included. Add family members, connect them using structural and emotional relationship lines, add household markers and health conditions where relevant, then export or share.
Does Microsoft have a genogram template?
Word and PowerPoint have basic shape libraries but no genogram-specific symbols. Lines don't follow shapes when you move them, which makes editing slow and results rarely meet clinical or coursework standards.
Does Google Docs have a genogram template?
No. Google Docs has no genogram-specific symbols. You can draw rough shapes using the Drawing tool, but lines don't follow shapes when repositioned and there's no clinical notation support.
