Welcome to iTOL v6
Interactive Tree Of Life is an online tool for the display, annotation and management of phylogenetic and other trees.
Manage and visualize your trees directly in the browser, and annotate them with various datasets.
Tree annotation made easy.
Annotate your trees directly from Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice or Google Sheets, or use the integrated web dataset editor. Advanced users can create the dataset template files and drag/drop them directly onto the tree, with complete control of all visualization options.
Adjust branch and label colors, styles and fonts interactively or by using annotation template files.
Unlimited number of datasets.
All datasets can be be displayed simultaneously, with fine-grained interactive control of their position, size and other visualization parameters.
Create publication quality figures.
iTOL provides What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get high quality export into several vector and bitmap graphics formats. Interactively adjust all tree and dataset visualization options as you like, and the exported figure will exactly mirror your screen.

Visualize support values. Explore clade distances.
Branch support values and other metadata can be visualized as various shapes with adjustable colors and sizes or as text labels. Alternatively, branch colors or widths can be linked to the underlying data values.
Trees with branch length information can have an internal scale with adjustable levels and colors, allowing easy estimation of distances between various clades.
