Exports from Ancestry, MyHeritage, FamilySearch, Gramps, and Family Tree Maker all work — including older ANSEL-encoded files.

Nothing is uploaded. Your file is read and converted entirely in your browser; it never leaves your device.

A real workbook, not a renamed CSV

The download is a proper .xlsx built in your browser — two named worksheets, bold header rows, sensible column widths — that opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, and LibreOffice with accented names intact. Everything is written as text cells, so GEDCOM date forms like ABT 1900 and IDs with leading zeros survive exactly as they are in the file.

What ends up in the sheets

Individuals has one row per person: ID, given name, surname, sex, birth and death dates and places, occupation, the IDs of their father, mother, and spouses, and any notes. Families has one row per couple, with both partners, the marriage date and place, and every child. Because the family links are preserved as IDs, you can sort, filter, and pivot freely without losing who belongs to whom.

Prefer plain CSV?

If the destination is a script, a database import, or anything that wants plain text, the GEDCOM to CSV converter produces the same two tables as UTF-8 CSV files instead.

Going the other way?

If your family tree lives in a spreadsheet and you need a .ged file, use the companion Excel to GEDCOM converter — it reads .xlsx files directly and rebuilds the family structure from parent and spouse columns.

Private by architecture

Like everything on gedfile.com, this converter is local-first: the GEDCOM file is parsed by JavaScript running in your browser and the workbook is assembled on your device. There is no upload, no queue, and no copy of your family history on any server.
