How to create an org chart (free, no account)

Step-by-step guide to building an organisational chart online. Add your CEO, build downward, drag to reparent — all in your browser.

An org chart shows who reports to whom. Simple Org Chart keeps it simple: add people, pick a manager, and the layout engine positions everything for you.

1. Start with the top person

Open the editor and add your CEO or most senior person first. Give them a name and job title — everything else is optional.

2. Build downward

Use Add person to create each team member and choose who they report to. Click someone on the chart to edit their details at any time.

3. Rearrange by dragging

Drag someone onto their new manager to reparent them. Drag a person onto their direct report to swap places — handy when roles change.

4. Save automatically

Your chart is stored in your browser. Come back on the same device and it will be waiting for you. No account required.
