People in the same department share a colour.
Photo
Without a photo the box shows initials. Photos are shrunk to 96 px and stay on your device.
Import from a spreadsheet, a list or a saved file
An indented list (indent a line to make that person report to the one above), or spreadsheet columns Name, Title, Manager and Department with a header row.
Your chart is saved in this browser only, so it's still here if you reload. Save a .json file to keep it or open it on another device.
How to make an org chart
Edit the example, start blank, or import your people from a spreadsheet or an indented list.
Select a person to change their name, job title, department, box colour or photo, and who they report to.
Pick a layout and download a PNG, SVG or PDF. Save a .json file if you want to edit the chart again later.
How the chart is laid out
Each manager is centred over the people who report to them, and a team takes as much width as its people side by side, so branches never overlap. Colleagues appear in the order of the people list, which you can change with the arrow buttons. People in the same department share a colour (the first department gets the first colour, and so on), and anyone without a photo gets their initials in a coloured circle.
Example
The starting chart has 10 people over 4 levels: a chief executive with three direct reports, and 4 people in the technology team. Top to bottom, it is 1304 px wide. Switching to Compact stacks Priya Nair's two developers in a column under her, which brings the width down to 1076 px; in a large company with many small teams the saving is much bigger.
Tips
Keep job titles short, such as "Head of Marketing"; very long titles are cut to fit the box.
For a big organisation, make one chart for the leadership team and a separate chart for each department.
From a spreadsheet, export the people list as CSV, check it has Name and Manager columns, and import it here.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make an org chart?
Start from the example or press Start blank, then add people with + Report (someone who reports to the selected person) and + Colleague (someone at the same level). Type each person's name, job title and department; the chart redraws as you type. When it looks right, download a PNG or PDF.
Can I make an org chart from Excel or a CSV file?
Yes. Copy the rows from your spreadsheet, with a header row such as Name, Title, Manager, Department, and paste them into Import, or open a .csv file. The Manager column can hold the manager's name or their ID. You can also paste an indented list, where indenting a line makes that person report to the one above.
How do I move someone to a different manager?
Select them and choose their new manager in Reports to. On a computer you can also drag them onto their new manager in the people list, or use Alt + arrow keys: Alt+→ makes them report to the colleague above, Alt+← moves them up a level. Their whole team moves with them, and the tool won't let anyone report to a person in their own team.
Can I edit my org chart later?
Yes. The chart is kept in this browser, so it's still there when you come back on the same device. To keep a copy, or to carry on elsewhere, press Save .json and open that file later with Import.
Which layout should I use?
Top to bottom is the classic org chart. Left to right suits deep organisations and reads well in documents. Compact stacks the members of each team in a column under their manager, which keeps a chart with many people narrow enough to print on one page.
Is my company's data private?
Yes. Names, titles and photos stay in your browser; nothing is uploaded, and photos are shrunk to a small square before they're added to the chart.
