Never held hostage

Full GEDCOM export, one click, free — even on the free plan. Stop paying and you still walk out with everything. No ransom, ever.

Your whole tree in seconds

Drop a GEDCOM from MyHeritage, Ancestry or FamilySearch and every person, date, place and photo arrives intact — a 2,000-relative tree in about five seconds.

Beautiful enough to frame

Pan-and-zoom tree, pedigree & fan charts, a turning time wheel, faces on every card. An heirloom, not a spreadsheet.

Free to start · extraordinary to use

Everything you'd expect. And a few things you won't.

New · Living Portraits

Watch them smile again.

Bring a cherished old photograph gently to life — a soft breath, a slow blink, the faintest smile. One tap on any ancestor's page turns a still, fading face into a living memory you can sit with. It's the kind of moment that makes a grandparent cry — in the best way.

Turn the years and watch your family breathe.

The time wheel

Turn the years and watch your family breathe.

Drag a single golden dial and two centuries of your family come alive — ancestors blooming into being as they're born, fading softly as they pass, while a quiet counter tells you exactly how many of your people walked the earth in any given year. Tap any one of them and a whole life unfurls beside the tree: every birth, marriage, child and farewell, woven into its own timeline. People tell us they've never seen anything like it — and honestly, neither had we.

Trace your blood to the Ice Age.

Deep roots · DNA

Trace your blood to the Ice Age.

Already spat in a tube? Bring your raw file from 23andMe, AncestryDNA or MyHeritage and watch us trace your maternal and paternal lines back tens of thousands of years — past Rome, past the Bronze Age, to a single distinct branch that is unmistakably yours. Your ancestors' long journey out of Africa and across the continents draws itself across a slowly turning globe, arc by glowing arc. And the best part: your raw DNA never leaves your browser — we read it on your device and keep only the story.

See your lineage as art.

A tree worth framing

See your lineage as art.

Pan and zoom a tree so smooth it feels alive, then switch between family, pedigree, fan and list views — each one revealing something the others keep hidden. Real faces smile out from every card, generation upon generation, rendered with the kind of care you'd frame and hang in the hall. It's the rare family tree you'll actually want to show off at the reunion.

Give your dynasty its own home on the web.

A home worth sharing

Give your dynasty its own home on the web.

When you're ready, publish a breathtaking family page at yourname.dynasty.house — crowned with an AI-designed family crest, your motto, and the story of where you come from. Share it in the family group chat, print it for the wall, or embed it on any site. Living relatives are hidden automatically, always — so you can share with pride and never worry.

A page worthy of their memory.

In loving memory

A page worthy of their memory.

Every ancestor deserves more than a name and two dates. Here, each one gets their own breathtaking page — a framed portrait, their life story told in full, a map tracing every place they ever lived, and a candle you can light in their memory. A quiet, dignified place to sit with the people you come from, and to make sure they are never forgotten.

The tree ransom ends here

The big sites charge $149–$399 a year and triple at renewal — then lock your family away the moment you stop paying.

Dynasty House is free to start, and just $4/month if you ever want unlimited people, a published family page, and the AI historian. We never lock your family behind a paywall.
