Org chart maker

Paste your team from a spreadsheet (role, name, reports to) or type it as an indented list. The page checks the hierarchy, tells you in plain words about loops, managers that are not on the list, repeated names and people with two managers, and draws a clean chart you can print on A4 or Letter or save as PNG and SVG.

Read the list as
Table: one person per line, columns separated by Tab (paste from a spreadsheet), | ; or comma, in the order Role, Name, Reports to, Contact, Team, or any order with a header row. "Reports to" can be a name or a role; two managers: "Ana / Bruno". Indented list: "Role | Name" per line, indent = reports to the line above.

Your list stays on this device. Nothing is uploaded or stored. Add contacts only if they are public work contacts: they print exactly as typed.

How to use it

  1. Paste your team from a spreadsheet with the columns Role, Name and Reports to (a header row lets you use any order), or type an indented list where each line hangs under its manager.
  2. Read the check under the chart: loops, managers missing from the list, repeated names and people with two managers are explained line by line and marked in red.
  3. Fix the list until the check is clean, choose colours and how large teams are drawn, and fold teams by clicking a box if you only need part of the chart on screen.
  4. Print on A4 or Letter over 1, 2 or 4 sheets, save a PDF from the print window, download a PNG or SVG, or copy the chart as an indented list.

Examples

  • New hire welcome pack

    Print the chart of the team on one sheet with roles and names, so the first day starts with faces and reporting lines.

  • Restructuring draft

    Paste the current list, move people in the spreadsheet and paste again: the check tells you at once if somebody ended up with no manager or in a loop.

  • Club or school board

    Type an indented list of roles only (President, Treasurer, Secretary) and add the public email of the board when it should be on the poster.

Questions

Is it free and private?

Yes. The chart is drawn in your browser. The names and contacts you paste are not uploaded or saved, and there is no account.

What does "reports to" accept?

The name or the role of the manager, written as in their own line. Capitals and accents do not matter. Leave it empty for the person at the top.

What happens with a loop or a missing manager?

Nothing is dropped. A loop (A reports to B, B reports to A) is cut at its first line and that person moves to the top; a manager who is not on the list is reported and the person goes to the top. Both are marked in red until you fix the list.

Can someone have two managers?

Yes, write both separated by " / ". The first one is the solid reporting line; the second is drawn as a dashed line, the way matrix reporting is usually shown.

How big can the chart be?

Up to 300 people. Teams of more than five people with no reports of their own are stacked in a column to keep the chart narrow, or you can show them side by side. Big charts print best on 2 or 4 sheets.

Should I add phone numbers or emails?

Only public work contacts, and only if everyone on the chart agrees. They are printed exactly as typed; the tool never looks anyone up.
