GEDCOM Viewer
Open a .ged file and explore your family tree as a pan-and-zoom chart — entirely in your browser, with nothing uploaded.
Loading tool…
A GEDCOM (.ged) file is the universal export format every family-tree program uses. This free viewer opens one directly in your browser and draws it as an interactive chart — pan across the generations, zoom in on a branch, and click anyone to re-center the tree on them. Because everything runs on your device, your family data never leaves your browser.
Exported a tree from another program and just want to seeit? Drop it above. When you’re ready to grow it, AncestorIQ imports the same file and its AI research assistant looks for the ancestors you’re missing.
FAQs
