Why a dedicated ecomap tool?
Most free ecomap makers are design apps with a blank canvas. You get plain shapes and wire up the notation yourself. Genogram Pro builds the subject, system circles, and weighted lines into the tool.
Generic diagram and design tools
- A blank canvas where you place and align every circle by hand
- Connectors are decorative lines with no meaning behind them
- No way to weight a bond or show which way support flows
- A circle stays a shape, with no system type or data behind it
Genogram Pro
- Weighted bond lines and energy-flow direction in standard ecomap notation
- Every system typed by domain (family, health, work, school) with preset styling
- Center one person, or a whole household with its family genogram inside
- Export to PNG or PDF, no signup required
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ecomap maker really free?
Yes. You can create an ecomap and export it as a PNG image or PDF without an account, at no cost. The editor runs entirely in your browser and does not save your work between visits, so download it before you leave. To store an ecomap and keep editing it across sessions, start a free 7-day trial.

No. You can build an ecomap and download it as a PNG image or PDF without an account or a card. The editor runs in your browser and does not save your work, so export it before you close the tab.
What is an ecomap?
An ecomap is a visual map of a person or family and the external systems around them: work, school, extended family, healthcare, friends, faith, and more. Connection lines show whether each relationship is strong, stressful, or tenuous, so support and strain are visible at a glance.
How is this different from drawing an ecomap in Canva or Word?
Generic design tools hand you a blank canvas, so you place circles and lines by hand and the notation is left to you. This ecomap generator is built only for ecomaps: a centered subject, system circles, and weighted connection lines (strong, stressful, tenuous) are part of the tool.
Can I save my ecomap and come back later?
The free editor does not store your work, so export it as an image or PDF before you leave. To save an ecomap and return to edit it anytime, click Finish & Export and start a free 7-day trial. Your data is encrypted end-to-end on your device before it is stored.
Does the ecomap maker work on mobile?
Yes. The editor runs in any modern mobile browser, so you can build and export an ecomap on a phone or tablet.
