# Org Chart Maker Render hierarchical JSON into a vertical organizational chart with names and titles > Canonical page: https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/org-chart-maker - **Category:** Data Visualization - **Keywords:** org chart, organization chart, organogram, hierarchy, team structure, reporting ## Overview Parses a JSON hierarchy (each node has a name, optional title, and optional children), lays it out top-down with a tidy tree algorithm, and draws an SVG org chart with rounded boxes colored by level and orthogonal connectors between managers and reports. ## Inputs - **Organization Data** (textarea): JSON hierarchy: each node has a name, optional title, and optional children array - **Chart Title** (text): Enter chart title... - **Color Scheme** (select) - **Show Titles** (checkbox) - **Box Style** (select) ## When to use - When you need to visualize a company's reporting hierarchy directly from structured JSON data. - When presenting team structures or department breakdowns in clean, color-coded SVG diagrams. - When you want to quickly generate and customize vertical organograms without manual drawing tools. ## How it works - Input your hierarchical JSON data containing names, optional titles, and nested children arrays. - Customize the chart title, choose a color scheme (default, warm, cool, or pastel), and select the box style (solid or outlined). - The tool applies a tidy tree algorithm to calculate the top-down layout and renders the final SVG diagram. ## Use cases - Mapping corporate leadership structures from executive levels down to team leads. - Visualizing project team reporting lines and cross-functional department structures. - Generating clean organograms for onboarding decks, company wikis, or HR presentations. ## Frequently asked questions ### What JSON format does the tool expect? The tool expects a nested JSON object where each node has a 'name' string, an optional 'title' string, and an optional 'children' array containing child nodes. ### Can I hide job titles in the generated chart? Yes, you can uncheck the 'Show Titles' option to display only names in the chart boxes. ### What color schemes are available? You can choose between Default, Warm, Cool, and Pastel color schemes to color-code the chart levels. ### What box styles can I apply to the nodes? The tool supports 'Solid' filled boxes or 'Outlined' boxes for the organizational chart nodes. ### How are the connections between managers and reports drawn? The tool automatically draws orthogonal connectors linking managers to their direct reports in a top-down layout. ## Related tools - [Tree Diagram Generator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/tree-diagram-generator): Generate interactive tree diagrams from hierarchical data with customizable styling - [Venn Diagram Maker](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/venn-diagram-maker): Draw a Venn diagram for 2 to 4 sets, labeling each region with its size and intersections - [Donut Chart Generator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/donut-chart-generator): Generate customizable donut charts (ring charts) from data with various styling options, perfect for showing proportions with a central space - [Pictograph Generator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/pictograph-generator): Create pictographs using icons/symbols to represent quantities with customizable icons, colors, and layouts - [Range Chart Generator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/range-chart-generator): Create range charts to visualize min-max value ranges with median markers and outlier detection - [Waterfall Chart Generator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/waterfall-chart-generator): Create waterfall charts to visualize cumulative changes with positive/negative value distinction and subtotal display - [Color Token Cascade Generator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/color-token-cascade-generator): Turn one primary hex color into a full design-token cascade with primary, accent, neutral, semantic tokens, CSS variables, and Style Dictionary JSON - [Image Palette to Design Tokens](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/image-to-design-tokens): Extract a dominant color palette from an image (k-means clustering), then export it as CSS variables, SCSS variables, a Tailwind config, or JSON design tokens — with named colors and an auto-generated shade scale for each ## Samples - [Grafana Advanced Application Samples](https://elysiatools.com/en/samples/grafana-samples): Comprehensive Grafana samples covering advanced dashboard design, alerting configurations, data source integrations, and plugin development - [QR Code Samples](https://elysiatools.com/en/samples/qrcode-samples): Sample QR code images for testing QR code reading and generation tools - [JWT Samples](https://elysiatools.com/en/samples/jwt-samples): Comprehensive JWT examples from basic token structure to advanced security implementations - [D3.js Data Visualization Samples](https://elysiatools.com/en/samples/d3js-data-visualization): Comprehensive D3.js data visualization examples including charts, maps, animations, and interactive visualizations ## Related content - [Structural and Logic Diagram Generators](https://elysiatools.com/en/hubs/structural-and-logic-diagram-generators): Generate flowcharts, mind maps, org charts, tree diagrams, Venn diagrams, ASCII directory trees, and sequence diagrams from text, JSON, or logs — for planning, documentation, and engineering reviews. - [JSON Interchange and Format Translation Tools](https://elysiatools.com/en/hubs/json-convert): Compare JSON conversion tools for CSV, YAML, TOML, GraphQL, XML, Markdown, Excel, BSON, EDN, and related structured formats in one hub. - [JSON Inspection, Diff, and Transformation Tools](https://elysiatools.com/en/hubs/json-utility): Compare JSON formatting, diffing, path inspection, schema validation, merging, transformation, and export tools in one hub for API and data workflows. - [JSON Schema, Mock Data, and API Fixture Generators](https://elysiatools.com/en/hubs/json-generate): Curated tools for JSON schema generation, mock payload building, and API fixture preparation in one hub.
