How to use an org chart template.
- 01Describe your company structure
Type a plain-language description of your organization — list the CEO, direct reports, departments, and key roles. Include headcount or location if relevant.
- 02Choose a layout style
Select top-down (classic hierarchy), left-right (wide teams), or matrix layout depending on how your reporting lines work.
- 03Review and refine
ChatDiagram generates the chart immediately. Add, remove, or reorganize nodes by typing follow-up instructions in plain English.
- 04Add names, titles, and photos
Enrich each node with job titles, employee names, and department colors to make the chart useful for real onboarding and planning.
- 05Export and share
Download as PNG or SVG, or copy an embed link to paste directly into Notion, Confluence, or your intranet.
Questions about org chart templates
What is a company org chart?
A company org chart is a visual diagram showing the reporting relationships and hierarchy within an organization — from the executive team down through departments and individual roles.
What are the main types of company org charts?
The most common types are functional (grouped by department), divisional (grouped by product or region), matrix (dual reporting lines), and flat (few or no middle management layers).
How do I make an org chart for a large company?
For large organizations, break the chart into layers: create a top-level chart showing the executive team and major divisions, then link to department-level sub-charts. ChatDiagram can generate each layer from a plain-text description.
Can I update an org chart when people leave or join?
Yes. In ChatDiagram, just describe the change — 'Add Sarah Chen as VP of Engineering reporting to the CTO' — and the AI updates the diagram immediately.
What file formats can I export an org chart to?
ChatDiagram exports org charts as PNG, SVG, or shareable link. SVG is best for presentations; PNG works for documents and emails.
