How to use the Pythagoras Tree Generator
- Enter or paste your input in the box (or set the options, if the tool needs no input).
- Adjust the options to match what you need — the result updates as you type.
- Copy the result or download it, and keep editing if you want a different outcome.
What does this tool do?
Each square carries a right triangle whose two other sides become the next, smaller squares. At 45° the tree is symmetric; other angles make it lean. Choose the depth and download the SVG.
Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded or stored.
Why use it?
- Free, with no sign-up and no limits.
- Instant results as you type.
- Private — your data stays on your device.
Example
Input: depth 8, 45°
Result: A symmetric tree of 511 squares.

Frequently asked questions
Why is it called a Pythagoras tree?
Each triangle is right-angled, so the two small squares together have the area of the large one — the Pythagorean theorem.
Is the Pythagoras Tree Generator free to use?
Yes. It is free, needs no account and has no daily limit.
