Genogram Maker

Genogram Maker is a free web-based tool designed for creating family genograms, particularly serving the needs of family therapists, social workers, counselors, and students in related fields. It enables users to map out three generations of family relationships, including couples, children, and various emotional connections, using standardized symbols recognized in professional practice.

The platform offers features such as marking emotional relationships—like close, conflict, cut-off, and distant—alongside traditional family structures. It supports the full McGoldrick notation set, which includes symbols for couples, children, twins, deceased individuals, and medical markers, as well as overlays for Bowenian emotional relationships. Users can either manually build genograms or utilize an optional AI-assisted drafting feature, where typing or dictating a family description generates an editable diagram that can be refined further. The first AI draft is free, but sign-in is required to use this feature.

Genogram Maker operates entirely online, requiring no installation or downloads, and is accessible from a range of devices including Mac, iPad, Chromebook, and phones. It allows for exporting completed genograms as clean PDF or PNG files, making it suitable for professional hand-ins or educational use. The tool is free to use for building genograms, emphasizing accessibility and ease of use for its target audience.

By providing a standardized and device-agnostic platform, Genogram Maker addresses the need for efficient and professional family mapping in therapeutic and educational contexts.
