Create org charts in minutes, not meetings.
Build an org chart from CSV
Prepare a CSV with one row per employee and consistent columns for name, title, department, employee ID, and manager ID. Then import it into an organization chart maker, map each column, and review the generated reporting structure.
Fix missing managers, duplicate IDs, and incorrect reporting lines before adjusting card positions on the canvas. Keep labels short, use a consistent layout, then export a PNG at a size that stays readable in presentations or documents.

More about CSV relationship checks
Before importing into organizational chart software, verify that every employee has a unique ID and that each manager ID points to an existing employee. This prevents broken branches and duplicate cards.
- Give the top leader a blank manager ID, not their own employee ID.
- Filter for manager IDs that do not appear in the employee ID column.
- Break circular chains, such as two employees listed as each other's manager.
