Create org charts in minutes, not meetings.
Build org charts from CSV
This workflow is for HR teams updating reporting lines after hiring rounds, reorganizations, or data cleanups. Instead of rebuilding boxes manually, prepare a CSV with each employee, role, and manager, then load it into an organization chart maker.
Review unmatched managers and duplicate names, adjust the hierarchy on the canvas, and export a clean PNG for leaders or employees. A good outcome is an accurate chart produced from the current roster, with fewer handoffs and revision meetings.

More about CSV preparation
Most import problems come from ambiguous identifiers or incomplete manager fields. Clean the roster first so visual editing is reserved for structural decisions, not basic data repair.
- Use one row per employee, with consistent name, title, department, and manager columns.
- Give employees unique identifiers when names repeat, and standardize manager values before import.
- Decide how to represent vacant roles and secondary reporting relationships before building the chart.
