Why a dedicated ecomap tool?

In most free ecomap makers, you start on a blank canvas of plain shapes and work out the notation yourself. Genogram Pro has the centered subject, system circles, and weighted lines built in.

Generic diagram and design tools

  • A blank canvas where you place and align every circle by hand
  • Decorative connectors with no meaning attached
  • No way to weight a line or show which way support flows
  • Circles that are only shapes, with no system type or data

Genogram Pro

  • Weighted connection lines and energy-flow direction in standard ecomap notation
  • Every system typed by category (family, health care, work, school) with a preset color
  • Center one person or a whole household
  • 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. The editor runs entirely in your browser and does not keep your work after you close the tab, so download it first. To store an ecomap and keep editing it across sessions, start a 7-day free trial.
Do I need an account to download my ecomap?
No. You can build an ecomap and download it as a PNG image or PDF without an account or a card.
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, health care, friends, spiritual community, and more. Each connection line is marked strong, normal, weak, or stressful, so support and strain are visible on one page.
How is this different from drawing an ecomap in Canva or Word?
In a generic design tool you start from a blank canvas, place circles and lines by hand, and work out the notation yourself. This ecomap generator is built only for ecomaps, and the centered subject, system circles, and weighted connection lines (strong, normal, weak, stressful) are part of the editor.
Can I save my ecomap and come back later?
You can't save in the free editor, so export your ecomap as an image or PDF before you leave. To save an ecomap and return to edit it anytime, click Finish & export and start a 7-day free 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.
