A printable family tree for your bloodlineBuild your family tree,
one relative at a time
Map parents, spouses, and children into a clean, shareable chart. Import GEDCOM from the research tools you already use — Blaadline is for laying the tree out and printing it, not for searching records.
Three steps to a finished tree
Add people
Start from yourself and add parents, spouses, and children with a click.
Connect generations
Link relatives, handle multiple spouses, and watch the tree lay itself out.
Share & print
Keep it private, publish a link when you choose, then export a print-ready chart.
Everything you need to keep the record
Bloodline & pedigree trees
Chart direct biological lineages and generational pedigrees with zero clutter.
Multiple spouses
Model real families — remarriages and blended households render correctly.
GEDCOM import & export
Bring an existing genealogy file, and take it with you again whenever you need.
Print-ready wall posters
Generate polished vector charts sized for A4, A3, and A1 picture frames.
Turn ancestral records into framed living room art
Don't leave your genealogy hidden in software menus. Blaadline transforms complex family lineages and bloodlines into timeless, high-resolution wall charts formatted for standard off-the-shelf frames.
Built for real family histories
Most tools assume a neat, linear family. Blaadline doesn't. It handles the messy, human shape of real lineages — and keeps the whole picture readable as it grows across generations.
How Blaadline fits — what it is for, and what it is not.
Every kind of family
Remarriages, multiple spouses, half-siblings, and blended households all lay out cleanly — not just tidy nuclear families.
Unlimited generations
Go as far back and as far forward as your research reaches. Move around a large tree without shrinking every card to a sliver.
Link, don't duplicate
Adding a relative who's already in the tree? Search and connect the existing person instead of creating a copy.
Save when you are ready
Edits mark the tree dirty; you press Save when the change is right. Leaving with unsaved work is guarded.
Specialized Tree Formats & Tools
Whether you need a multi-generation pedigree chart, an oversized family reunion wall poster, or an open GEDCOM viewer — Blaadline has dedicated formats built for purpose.

Read guideQuestions, answered
- Can I import my tree from Ancestry or FamilySearch?
- Yes. Export a GEDCOM (.ged) file from Ancestry, FamilySearch, MyHeritage, FamilyEcho, or most genealogy tools, and import it when you create a tree or from the builder. Export back out as GEDCOM is free too.
- Who can see my family tree?
- Only you, until you choose otherwise. Trees are private by default. You can publish an unlisted link (readable by anyone who has it, but not listed on Explore) or make the tree public on Explore.
- Is Blaadline a genealogy research database?
- No. Blaadline does not search historical records or suggest ancestors. It is for organizing, visualizing, sharing, and printing the family data you already have — often after research in Ancestry, FamilySearch, MyHeritage, or your own notes.
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. Blaadline runs entirely in your browser. You can start building without an account at /try; sign up with an email and password, or with Google, when you want cloud save and publishing.
- How does saving work?
- Saving is explicit: the builder marks your tree dirty as you edit, and you press Save when you are ready. Unsaved work is guarded if you try to leave. Guests keep one tree in the browser until they save it to an account.
- What is free, and what does Premium buy?
- Building, editing, GEDCOM import and export, and publishing stay free. Free PDF export is A4 with a light watermark. Premium removes the watermark and unlocks poster sizes (A3–A1), extra print templates, visible-area export, and advanced export filters.
- Can I keep more than one tree?
- Yes. Create as many separate family trees as you like and switch between them from your dashboard. Guests keep one local tree until they create an account.
- How do I contact support?
- Email support@blaadline.com.
