How to export a GEDCOM file from MyHeritage

MyHeritage can export any tree you manage to GEDCOM. It prepares the file in the background and sends you a link when it is ready.

Steps

1. Sign in to MyHeritage and open Family tree, then Manage trees.
2. Find the tree you want and click Export to GEDCOM in the Actions column.
3. Leave photos out: the poster only needs names, dates and places.
4. Click Start. MyHeritage builds the file and emails you a download link.
5. Download the .ged file from the email or from the export page.

Good to know

• If the file arrives as a .zip, unzip it first and choose the .ged file inside.
• Very large trees export fine. You choose who sits at the center of the poster afterwards.
• Menu names can change between versions. Look for Export, Share or GEDCOM in the File or Tree menu.

Turn the file into a poster

Open your .ged file in the poster maker. It reads the file in your browser, suggests the person at the center and shows a fan chart straight away. Switch to a pedigree chart or a descendant chart, then see it on a wall in 3D before you order.
