One family. One place for everything.
Bring your family tree, meaningful family photos, contacts, important dates, documents and everyday plans together. Give family photographs a place beside the people and memories they belong to.
30 days free · no credit card needed · 10 GB file storage included in every plan.
One account can hold relatives from every branch of your family tree.
Simple family pricing
Every plan covers one family account. The price depends on how many people have their own logins—not the number of relatives recorded.
Add family members, explore the tree and learn how FM Central works. No credit card is needed to begin. You will not be charged automatically when your free trial ends.

More room to share
More room for relatives to contribute and share.
Your family account can include Atchisons, Smiths, in-laws, cousins, grandparents and thousands of relatives. Only the number of people who can log in determines your plan. Every plan includes 10 GB of shared storage for photos and PDFs; you may add more storage when you need it.
Prefer to pay annually? Annual plans are planned; prices have not been set yet.
PHOTOGRAPHS THAT TELL A STORY
FM Central gives family photos a meaningful home: right alongside the people in your family tree. Open a person's record to enjoy their photos, add a date or caption, and remember the story behind each photo.
Keep childhood portraits, celebrations and family gatherings connected with the right family member.
Link a group photograph to everyone who appears in it, while storing only one copy of the image.
Explore photos by person rather than sorting through one enormous camera roll.
FM Central is built for preserving the family story, not replacing the full-resolution backup of your phone's entire photo library. Keep original photos safely backed up too.
Getting started is easy
No payment information is required for your first 30 days.
Tell us your proposed family name and contact information. We verify your application, then create your account and begin your trial.
Build relationships, attach meaningful photos to people, save documents and dates, and organize your family story.
When you're ready, choose $10, $15 or $20 per month based on how many people need logins.
ROOM FOR YOUR FAMILY MEMORIES
Every family account includes the same 10 GB file-storage allowance during the trial and as part of its paid plan. Your photos and PDFs share this allowance; the number of relatives in your database does not.
Included with Private, Family 5 & Family 10
For example, if a photo averages 2–5 MB, 10 GB works out to roughly 2,000–5,000 photos if used only for photos. Actual capacity varies by camera, photo format, resolution, compression and how many PDF documents you add.
One shared allowance per family account—not 10 GB per individual login.
Choose more storage only when you need it. Your family records and existing files stay right where they are.
✓ No automatic storage upgrade or surprise add-on charge.
We'll let the family account owner know before storage fills up. If the allowance is reached, existing information remains available, but additional photo and PDF uploads pause until space is freed or more storage is chosen. No photos or documents are deleted automatically just because storage is full.
Your family information matters
After 30 days without a subscription, every login on the family account automatically becomes read-only. People can still view records they already have permission to see, but they cannot add or change records until the account is activated.
We'll remind the account owner before the trial expires. Subscribing later would restore editing so you can pick up where you left off.
Reactivation window under consideration: six months. The final data-retention and export policy will be published before paid signup opens.
Here's what an unpaid account would look like after day 30.
Private notes and documents stay private under the existing user permissions.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. A group photo can be connected to each person pictured without having to upload duplicate copies of the same file.
