An org chart shows who sits where in a team and who reports to whom. The slow part of making one is usually the layout: dragging boxes around, lining them up, and redoing it all when someone new joins. This org chart maker skips that. You type the structure as plain indented text and the chart draws itself, so a change to the team is a change to a line, not a fresh round of nudging boxes.
Type the top role first
Start with the most senior person or role on the first line, flush to the left with no indentation. This becomes the box at the top of the chart. If your team has more than one person at the very top, give each of them their own unindented line and they will appear side by side at the same level.
Indent to show who reports to whom
Every two spaces of indentation is one step down the hierarchy. Put a manager on one line, then indent the people who report to them on the lines below. Indent again for their reports, and keep going as deep as the team runs. Here is the idea:
CEO
VP Engineering
Backend Lead
Frontend Lead
VP Sales
Account ExecA tab works the same as two spaces if that is easier to type. The parser is forgiving about uneven spacing, so a line that is indented a little too far still attaches to the nearest manager above it rather than breaking the chart.
Add names and titles
To show a name and a job title on the same box, write the name, a comma, then the title. A line like Priya Nair, VP Sales renders the name as the heading with the title in smaller text below it. You can mix and match: some boxes can carry a name and a title while others show only a role. Use whichever reads best for what the chart is for. A planning chart often shows roles, and a team directory usually shows people.
Pick a colour and spacing
A short palette lets you set the box colour to match a deck or a handbook, and a spacing control tightens or loosens the gaps between boxes. Wider spacing helps a busy chart breathe, and tighter spacing keeps a small one compact. The chart updates as you type, so you see the result straight away and can stop fiddling once it looks right.
Export and reuse it
When the chart looks the way you want, download it. PNG gives you a flat image to drop into a slide, a wiki or an onboarding doc. SVG stays crisp at any size, which is handy for print or a page where people zoom in. On a phone the chart scrolls sideways inside its frame, so a wide structure never squashes the rest of the page.
Because the text you type is saved in your own browser, you can come back later and update the chart as the team changes. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and the org chart maker keeps working after the first load. Reorganising a department is as quick as re-indenting a few lines and exporting again.
