How to edit and save a template

  1. Pick a template: choose the one closest to your use case and it opens in the editor with characters and relationship lines already placed.
  2. Update names and relationships: swap in your own names, colors, descriptions, and relationship labels.
  3. Adjust layout and export: drag to reposition, then export a standard PNG.

Which template to pick, by use case

If you're not sure which template fits, here's a quick guide by use case, plus the first edit you should make after picking one.

Watching a drama or anime? → Drama/show template

Rename the lead first, then remove anyone who hasn't appeared yet in the episodes you've watched — it's a better spoiler-safety habit than adding everyone up front and deleting later. Color-code by household or workplace.

Writing a novel or OC? → Character template

Set the protagonist-vs-rival conflict line first, then build supporting characters outward from it so the story keeps a clear spine. Put the current relationship on the line label and save planned changes for notes.

Prepping a TRPG session? → TRPG template

Start by color-coding PCs versus NPCs. For a player-facing copy, duplicate the chart and remove any "secret" lines that would spoil the session.

Mapping relatives? → Family template

Place older generations toward the top, keep marriage lines horizontal and parent-child lines vertical, and label exact relations (uncle, cousin) if the chart is for a family discussion.

Mapping coworkers? → Team template

Keep titles in the notes and use line labels like "decision maker," "go-to contact," or "reports to" — that surfaces the real working dynamics an org chart hides.

Why start from a template

Starting from a template gives you a working layout from the first click — a lead in the center, supporting people around them, relationship lines already modeled. The trade-off: if you leave unused people or relationships in place, characters that don't exist in your story end up in the chart. The first edit worth making is always deleting anyone you don't need.

Every template on this site is free, including for commercial use and social posts. You keep the copyright on anything you create (see our Terms of Service).

You can also generate from text with AI

If you already have a synopsis, character notes, or meeting minutes, the AI diagram generator can draft a chart from that text, which is often faster than starting from a template.
