A family tree with photos
Names and dates make a record. Faces make it the family. Every card in Bargad takes a photo, and any branch can be sent as a picture.
One photo per card
Open a card, add a photo, done. A phone photo of a framed print is fine; the card shows it as a round portrait, and the tree shows initials until a photo arrives, so a half-finished tree never looks broken. Each person has one portrait; the documents and group photos that belong to a person go in their notes and sources, not on the card.
The whole family on one picture
Any view of the tree, or any one person’s descendants, becomes a picture: the cards with their photos, the lines, Bargad’s footer, and a small code that opens the tree for anyone who scans it. It downloads as an image for WhatsApp, or as a file that prints with the text kept sharp. Before it is made, the app says how readable the result will be, and offers a register, a list of the family that runs over several pages, when a branch is too wide to read as one picture.
Living relatives stay private
A family link (the one you share in a family group) shows living relatives with their names and birth year at most, never their photos. Relatives who have passed are shown in full, and invited family members see everything they are allowed to edit. So a tree with photos can still be sent to the family group without exposing anyone who would rather not be seen.
Photos travel with the tree
A download from Bargad as a zip holds the GEDCOM file, a full backup and every photo, and opening that zip here brings the photos back. A plain GEDCOM file from Ancestry, MyHeritage or FamilySearch carries no photos (the format doesn’t), so after bringing a tree from one of those, photos are added on the cards afterwards.
Free, and yours
There’s no limit on photos and no paid tier, and no limit on people either. The tree can be downloaded with its photos at any time. Start with your own name, or read the eight steps first.
