orgchart.live is a web tool for turning spreadsheet files, pasted rows, PDFs, and screenshots into organizational charts. Its layout engine redraws charts as people move, with the aim of limiting overlaps and crossed lines. Shared links let viewers follow the same live chart and see cursors; viewing does not require an account, while editing requires sign-in. CSV and Excel files are parsed in the browser, without sending the original spreadsheet to the service. PDF and screenshot imports use model-based extraction, and the import dialog discloses this before selection. Export options listed include PNG, PDF, SVG, and editable PowerPoint; free PNG exports include a footer line. The Free plan is 0.00 USD per free and includes unlimited people and charts, spreadsheet import, live editing, and PNG export. A 3-day pass is 4.99 USD per once, Pro is 49.00 USD per year, and Business is 199.00 USD per year. Business adds scheduled HR and directory sync. Hivetivity makes the service and lists Atlanta, Georgia as its location.
