## Why Use JSON to Org Chart?

Organization charts help visualize company structure and reporting relationships. This tool lets you quickly generate professional org charts from structured JSON data, perfect for HR documents, team pages, and presentations.

## Tips for Better Org Charts

- Keep node names concise -- use first name and last initial for large organizations to prevent horizontal overflow.
- Add job titles to every node for context. A chart with only names forces viewers to guess each person's role.
- Use the avatar property to add headshot URLs. Photos make org charts more personal and easier to scan quickly.
- Limit hierarchy depth to five or six levels. Deeper trees become hard to read on screen and in exported images.
- Store your JSON in version control so you can track organizational changes over time and regenerate charts on demand.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What fields can each node have?

Each node can have: name (required), title (job position), avatar (image URL), and children (array of subordinate nodes).

### How deep can the hierarchy be?

There's no hard limit on hierarchy depth. The tool automatically adjusts colors by level and handles any reasonable organizational structure.

### Can I add photos to the chart?

Yes! Add an 'avatar' property with an image URL to any node. The image will display as a circular thumbnail next to the person's name.

### How do I structure the JSON?

Start with a 'root' object containing the top person. Add 'children' arrays to create subordinates. Each child can have their own children for deeper levels.

### Can I export for presentations?

Yes! Click Download PNG to get a high-resolution image perfect for PowerPoint, Google Slides, or any presentation software.

### Does this tool require a signup?

No. The JSON to Org Chart generator is available with no signup, no usage limits, and no watermarks on exported images.

### Is my data safe?

Absolutely. All processing happens in your browser. Your JSON data and the generated chart never leave your device -- nothing is uploaded to any server.

### Can I embed the chart in a website?

Yes. Click Copy HTML to get the generated chart markup. You can paste it directly into any HTML page, internal wiki, or content management system.

### What is the best JSON format for org charts?

Use a nested object where the top-level node represents the CEO or team lead. Give each node a name and title, then add a children array for direct reports. This recursive structure maps naturally to organizational hierarchies.

### Can I generate org charts for multiple departments?

Yes. Structure your JSON with the company leader at the root and each department head as a child node. Each department head can then have their own team members as children, creating a complete multi-department chart.
