Free Org Chart Maker

An org chart shows who reports to whom. FreeFlowCharts provides a free org chart maker with automatic tree layout, role titles, depth coloring, templates, and API creation — ideal for onboarding docs, reorg planning, and stakeholder decks.

Common uses

  • Company-wide or department hierarchies for handbooks and wikis.
  • Project team structures for clients and partners.
  • Planning reorganizations before they go live.
  • Onboarding new hires so they understand reporting lines.

Editor capabilities

  • Auto-layout hierarchical trees when you add or re-parent nodes.
  • Name + title fields on each node.
  • Templates such as Simple Team and Department.
  • Export PNG, JSON, or SVG; create charts via /api/create-orgchart.
  • Works without an account for quick one-off charts.

Design tips

  • Keep titles short so nodes stay readable when printed.
  • Use consistent depth coloring so leadership levels are obvious.
  • Prefer one root (CEO/Director) unless you intentionally show dual reporting.
  • Update the chart when roles change — outdated org charts cause confusion.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Adding, removing, or re-parenting nodes recalculates the tree layout so boxes do not overlap.
