Free browser-based tools diagnose GEDCOM upload failures and extract smaller, usable family-tree files.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-02 issue.

Field notes

The site combines a readiness check with a repair workflow: users can assess file size, individual count, encoding, and structural integrity before splitting a tree into a smaller subset. Its reference material covers GEDCOM 5.5.1 and 7.0, while the upload guidance separates FamilySearch's stated 100 MB limit from reports of silent data loss above 1,000 individuals. The page states that file reading occurs locally in the browser.
