Genogram Software for Windows | Install, Save and Export

Genogram software for Windows installs, comes from the Store or opens in a browser

The choice of genogram software for Windows turns on how the program gets onto the computer, where it saves, what happens without a connection and which files come out.

Program	Installation	Saving	Without a connection	Export
GenoPro 2020	A Windows installer of 6.1 MB	GNO files on the computer	Not described on its pages	HTML reports, PDF and interactive SVG
WinGeno 2.0	A Windows download or a portable version	Files on the computer, with no cloud	Not stated	PDF and PNG with a legend
GenoSystems	Microsoft Store, Windows 10 version 17763 or later	Encrypted on the computer	Makes no network connections, its listing says	SVG, PNG and PDF
draw.io desktop	Installer, MSI or zip, version 32.6.10	DRAWIO files that you place	Needs no connection	PNG, SVG, JPEG, PDF and more, from general shapes
Genogram Builder	Nothing, it runs in Edge, Chrome or Firefox	In the browser, and in an account when you save there	An open chart keeps editing and saving, and the page will not reload	PNG, PDF and JSON with a free account, SVG on Pro
GenogramAI	Runs in the browser, with a Windows app listed as coming soon	Synced to its cloud	The web app needs a connection, its own comparison says	PNG free, and PDF, SVG and GEDCOM paid

Six programs on Windows. Genogram Builder was tested on 9 November 2026, and the other rows come from the makers’ pages read that day.

Genogram Builder

Draw the genogram in Edge or Chrome

Genogram Builder runs in the browser on Windows with nothing to install, and the symbols, the lines and the key are drawn for you.

Open a blank three generation chart Compare it with GenoPro

One base chart was carried through Genogram Builder from start to export

The base chart is the blank three generation template, with four grandparents, two parents and three children. We have no Windows computer, so the steps ran in Chromium, the engine of Edge and Chrome, and in WebKit, on a Mac. The Windows file dialogs were not tested, and the other programs were not installed.

Step	What happened in Genogram Builder
Open the chart in the full editor	The nine people opened
Press C for Connect, click two grandparents and choose Partners	A partner line joined them
Reload the page	The chart came back with “Your edits were restored”
Turn the network off and move a grandmother with the arrow keys	The move was saved in the browser
Reload with the network off	The page did not load, and the move was there once the network returned
Export as a visitor	The editor asked for a free account first
Export with a free account	PNG, PDF and JSON downloaded, and SVG pointed to Pro
Export with the network off	JSON downloaded, and PNG and PDF stopped with an error

Steps run in Chromium on 9 November 2026, with the same results in WebKit.

Installation ranges from a setup file to nothing at all

GenoPro installs from a setup file of 6.1 MB. Without registration it stops at 25 individuals, and a free evaluation key opens every feature for 14 days. Students get 180 days free when their professor joins its academic program. GenoPro says that the price of GenoPro 2020 will be credited towards GenoProX, which is planned with Mac and iOS versions.

WinGeno 2.0 offers a Windows download and a portable version, with no account, and its browser edition keeps the work in memory without saving it or making a PDF. GenoSystems comes from the Microsoft Store, and its listing names version 1.1.0, updated on 18 October 2026. draw.io publishes an installer, an MSI package, a zip file and ARM builds, and version 32.6.10 came out on 4 November 2026.

Genogram Builder needs nothing installed, which suits a lab or office computer where software cannot be added, as long as the browser keeps website data between sessions.

Each program keeps the chart in a different place

GenoPro, WinGeno and GenoSystems keep the chart in files on the computer, so a backup is a copy of those files. GenoSystems adds a password, locks itself after a time you choose and offers encrypted backups.

Genogram Builder keeps one genogram of up to 50 people in the browser without an account. A free account keeps two genograms in the account, which opens them on any computer, and a JSON project keeps an editable copy wherever you put it. On a shared computer that clears its browser data, save to the account or export the JSON project before you leave.

The file you keep decides whether the chart can be edited again

A picture or a PDF is what a reader needs, and an editable file is what you need to change the chart next month, so keep both.

File	Made by	Opens again in
GNO	GenoPro	GenoPro, and Genogram Builder through Import a family file
GENO	WinGeno 1	WinGeno 2.0, with no conversion
Encrypted genogram file	GenoSystems	GenoSystems, with its password
DRAWIO	draw.io	draw.io on Windows, macOS, Linux or the web
JSON project	Genogram Builder	Genogram Builder through Import a family file
PNG, PDF and SVG	All of these programs	An image viewer, a word processor or a printer

The files each program keeps on Windows and where each one opens again.

Prices run from free programs to a one-time licence

GenoPro sells a licence for one user at $49, paid once with a permanent registration key, and an academic site licence at $395. WinGeno, GenoSystems and draw.io are free. Genogram Builder has a free plan, and Pro is $12 a month or $99 a year. GenogramAI has a free plan of two projects, and Professional is $12 a month.

For a class assignment, the deciding point is the file your course asks for. For a family you will keep changing, choose the program whose editable file you can open again on the next computer. The comparison with GenoPro and the comparison with WinGeno go further.

Common questions

Whether Genogram Builder installs on Windows

No. It runs in Edge, Chrome or Firefox on Windows, and a chart saved to a free account opens on any other computer as well.

Moving a GenoPro chart into the browser

Open the editor, choose Export and then Import a family file, and select the GNO file. The import shows how many people and couples it found before anything is placed.

Working on a computer you cannot install on

A browser editor needs no installation, and a JSON project keeps an editable copy on a USB drive. Genogram Builder is not a clinical record system, so use fictional or de-identified details.
