Why beats a generic diagram tool

Most “genogram makers” are really general diagram apps with a genogram template bolted on, so the symbols aren't quite right, the templates are thin, and you spend an hour fighting the canvas.

Genogenie is built for one thing: genograms. Correct standard symbols, real templates, AI that does the first draft, and exports your professor or supervisor will accept. Minutes, not hours.

Genogram maker FAQ

Still have a question? You'll find the rest inside the editor, it's free to use.

What is a genogram?

A genogram is a visual map of a family across multiple generations. Unlike a basic family tree, it records not just who is related, but how: emotional bonds, medical history, and relationship patterns.

How do I make a genogram?

Add each family member, connect them with relationship lines, then mark emotional bonds and any medical notes. With Genogenie you can also describe your family in plain English and let AI build the first draft.

What's the difference between a genogram and a family tree?

A family tree shows who's related. A genogram goes further, layering in emotional relationships, health history, and behavioral patterns across generations.

What do the genogram symbols mean?

Squares are male, circles are female, and lines show relationships: marriage, divorce, and emotional bonds like close, distant, or estranged. See our full symbols guide for the complete set.

Is the genogram maker free?

Yes. You can build and export a genogram for free, with no account required. Paid plans add unlimited projects, premium templates, and clinical features.

Can I export my genogram to Word or PDF?

Yes. Export to PDF, PNG, or Word, so you can hand it in for an assignment or drop it straight into a case file.
