How the Phylogenetic Tree Maker Works
No FigTree. No iTOL. No Newick syntax.
Skip the learning curve of FigTree, iTOL, MEGA, and Dendroscope when you only need a clean evolutionary tree for a paper, thesis, or lecture slide. Describe the taxa, their relationships, and any divergence times or bootstrap values in plain English — the phylogenetic tree maker draws a labeled tree with proper branch geometry, taxon labels, and a scale bar. Every phylogenetic tree generator run produces a publication-ready figure that drops straight into a manuscript, dissertation, or biology lecture.
Describe Your Taxa and Relationships
List the organisms (species, genera, viral lineages, gene families), how they cluster (clades, sister groups, polytomies), and any quantitative annotations (branch lengths in millions of years, bootstrap percentages, posterior probabilities). Pick the layout — rectangular, circular, or unrooted — and the phylogenetic tree maker handles the rest.
AI Draws the Tree
The phylogenetic tree maker places the root on the left (or center for circular trees), traces branches with proportional lengths, attaches taxon labels at the tips, and writes bootstrap values at internal nodes. Sister groups stay grouped, scale bars appear when divergence times are mentioned, and the layout reads cleanly even with thirty or more taxa.

Download 4K PNG for Word, Google Docs, and lecture decks, or SVG vector for LaTeX manuscripts, journal submissions, and textbook revisions. Output stays sharp at any zoom — no pixelated branches when the figure prints in a Cell, Nature, or Systematic Biology paper.
One Phylogenetic Tree Maker, Three Workflows
Students · Researchers · Educators
Whether you are turning in a phylogenetics assignment, finalising a manuscript figure, or prepping an evolution lecture, this phylogenetic tree maker turns a description of taxa and relationships into a tree your professor, reviewer, or class will actually understand. The same phylogenetic tree generator works for an undergraduate evolution class and for a Systematic Biology submission.
Biology & Bioinformatics Students
Coursework, lab reports, theses
Your evolution class wants a mammalian phylogeny. Your microbiology lab needs a 16S rRNA tree of a soil isolate. You already understand the relationships from the lecture — you just need a tree your TA can grade without squinting at FigTree screenshots. The phylogenetic tree maker draws it in under a minute with branch lengths, bootstrap labels, and a clean scale bar.
- Rectangular, circular, and unrooted layouts handled automatically
- Bootstrap values and divergence times rendered at the right nodes
- Free credits on sign-up — no payment info required
Phylogenetics Researchers
Manuscripts, grants, supplementary figures
You ran IQ-TREE or BEAST and have a Newick string with bootstraps and divergence times — but you need a publication figure, not raw output. Describe the topology and the phylogenetic tree maker produces a labeled tree your reviewers expect: clean tip labels, bootstraps at internal nodes, a scale bar, and a layout that fits the journal column width.
- Branch length proportional to substitutions or millions of years
- Bootstrap, posterior probability, and aLRT values at nodes
- SVG vector export for Cell, Nature, and Systematic Biology
Evolution & Biology Educators
Lecture slides, worksheets, textbooks
You teach evolution, systematics, or molecular biology and need clean trees that match your textbook conventions. Describe each tree once and the phylogenetic tree maker draws labeled mammals, plants, viruses, or protein families — no more screenshotting low-resolution figures from open-access papers or redrawing trees by hand in PowerPoint.
- Blank and labeled versions of the same tree for worksheets
- Consistent branch and label style across an entire lecture series
- SVG export for textbooks, lecture decks, and worksheet PDFs

What Makes This Phylogenetic Tree Maker Different
Built for Biology Class and the Manuscript, Not for Newick Hacking
Most phylogenetics tools — FigTree, iTOL, MEGA, Dendroscope — are powerful but assume you already have a Newick or NEXUS file and the patience to wrestle with menus. This phylogenetic tree maker is built for the figure-making step: when you know the topology you want and need a tree your reviewer, professor, or class will actually read. A phylogenetic tree generator that turns plain English into a publication-ready evolutionary tree.
Rectangular, Circular, and Unrooted
Pick the Layout the Figure Needs
Rectangular layout for traditional manuscripts and textbooks. Circular layout for trees with thirty or more taxa, where rectangular runs out of vertical space. Unrooted layout for protein family trees where there is no clear outgroup. Each layout follows the conventions journal reviewers and biology textbooks expect.
Start free, upgrade when the manuscript pile grows
Every account gets free credits on sign-up. Need more trees for a thesis chapter, a phylogenomics review, or a full semester of evolution labs? Pick a plan that fits your workload.
How Researchers, Students, and Teachers Use the Phylogenetic Tree Maker
Feedback from PhD students, postdocs, biology lecturers, and bioinformatics undergrads who stopped wrestling with FigTree menus for figure-only work and started using this phylogenetic tree generator for manuscripts, theses, and evolution lectures.
Dr. Hannah Lindstrom
Postdoc, University of Uppsala — PhylogenomicsManuscript revision asked for a circular tree of 84 fungal taxa with bootstraps. I had the Newick from IQ-TREE but FigTree refused to render it cleanly. Described the topology to the phylogenetic tree maker and dropped the SVG into the figure file in twenty minutes.
Diego Morales
Bioinformatics MSc, Universitat de BarcelonaFinal-project tree of bacterial 16S rRNA with bootstrap values. I knew which clades I needed but I never got the iTOL annotations to look right. The phylogenetic tree generator drew the tree, labeled the phyla, and put bootstraps at the right nodes on the first try.
Prof. Rebecca Ng
Lecturer in Evolution, NUSI teach a 200-student evolution course every spring. Generated twelve clean trees for the lecture series — mammals, plants, vertebrates, viruses — all in one afternoon. The figures match my textbook, so students stop asking why my slides look different from the chapter.
