Use this interactive demo to learn how to build a family tree using Google Slides' built-in hierarchy diagram tool.

Quick summary

You can create a family tree in Google Slides using the built-in Diagram tool under the Insert menu, which provides ready-made hierarchy layouts you can populate with your family's information in minutes.


Steps

  1. Open your presentation in Google Slides.
  2. Select the slide where you want to create a family tree.
  3. In the menu bar, click Insert, hover over Diagram, and select Hierarchy.
  4. In the Hierarchy sidebar, select your preferred layout.
  5. After inserting your layout, replace the text placeholders with your family information.
  6. Review your family tree and make adjustments as necessary.

📌 Why this matters

Google Slides' built-in Diagram tool makes it easy to create a professional family tree without any third-party software. By using the native Hierarchy layout, users can quickly visualize family relationships and customize each node with real names and details. This approach is ideal for school projects, family reunions, or genealogy presentations, since Google Slides is free, browser-based, and shareable with anyone. It removes the need for complex diagramming tools while delivering a polished, editable result.
