Saving a tree

In this chapter we mean saving a tree as a picture - for printing or emailing an image. If you need to save your whole database file in order to open it in Agelong Tree next time, please save your data file. Once you have built a family tree, you can save it as PDF, JPEG, PNG, SVG and HTML file. Press Save button on the left from the tree:

PDF is recommended for saving a tree for print. It is possible to save by pages for printing on A4, or without page division, as one file, for printing on a large paper.

PNG, JPEG – is a raster graphic format. Use this format if you want to show the tree to your relatives or friends. The picture is saved with the scale that is set in the tree at the moment of saving. If you are going to print the tree, we advice using 300% scale. The tree is saved with a transparent background if you set No background in tree options, it allows to add a background you want in a graphic editor. JPEG uses image compression algorithm, so the file JPEG will have a smaller volume that PNG.

SVG – is a vector graphic format. You can view images in this format in any Internet browser, in case of large trees it is convenient to search through the tree to find a required person. You can edit SVG in vector image editors, for example, in Inkscape (freeware), CorelDraw and Adobe Illustrator. This format advantage is a possibility to scroll the tree without any image quality loss. All photos are saved inside the file – it's convenient that you do not need to remember about the photos when emailing the file or copying it.

HTML – interactive HTML family tree can be viewed on a device that has a browser: computer, tablet, smart TV. Internet is not used for it. When you click a person, you will get a window with all information about the chosen person, with all photos and links. You can zoom interactive HTML family tree without quality loss, and you can search text in it. Besides, you can publish the saved family tree on your family website.
