Open your GEDCOM — freeFree for your first 100 people · No credit card · Export back to GEDCOM anytime
Three steps, about a minute
- 1 · Find your .ged file. In your current program look for Export or Export to GEDCOM. You'll get a single
.gedfile — that's your entire tree. - 2 · Drop it here. Create a free account and drag the file onto the import box. It reads in your browser; nothing is mailed off or queued.
- 3 · Explore. Pan, zoom, switch to pedigree, fan or list views, run the free duplicate check, add photos, and — if you like — publish a beautiful family page at yourname.dynasty.house.
Why a GEDCOM is your insurance policy
The big sites would rather you forget GEDCOM exists. It's the one format every program speaks, which means it's the one thing that keeps your family history from being trapped behind a renewal fee. We built Dynasty House around it on purpose: import freely, export freely, and never get held hostage. Your tree should outlive any single company — including ours.
Common questions
What is a GEDCOM file? It's the universal family-tree format (.ged) that every genealogy program can read and write — every person, date, place, marriage and note as portable plain text.
Is the viewer really free? Yes — importing and viewing is free for up to 100 people. Unlimited people, a published family page and the AI historian are a flat $4/month. Export is always free.
Will my photos come across? GEDCOM holds the tree data, not photo files. Download your photos from your old program, then attach them here — uploads are included.
What if you shut down someday? Your one-click GEDCOM export means you're never trapped. That's the whole point.
Your family history, finally portable.
