  • Click ⋯ next to the kit → “Download kit” and choose “DNA data file”.
  • Confirm that you take responsibility for the copy of the data.
  • Open the emailed link (valid for 24 hours), enter your password and download the .zip archive.

What the converter does

  • The format is detected automatically: this page takes VCF as well as AncestryDNA, MyHeritage and FamilyTreeDNA raw data.
  • Takes the whole .zip archive or the unpacked .csv.
  • Works with both chip files and MyHeritage's newer low-pass sequencing files.
  • Genotypes and no-calls (--) are kept as is; only the file format changes.

Where can you use the result?

The 23andMe format is accepted by GEDmatch, Genomelink, Genetic Genie, Living DNA, tellmeGen and other services — see the catalog on the home page. FamilyTreeDNA accepts original files only.

Frequently asked questions

How do I download MyHeritage raw data?

DNA → Manage DNA kits → ⋯ next to the kit → Download kit → DNA data file. A link to the .zip archive arrives by email and works for 24 hours. Download from a computer or Android.

Can I upload another company's file to MyHeritage?

No, MyHeritage no longer accepts DNA uploads. You can move your MyHeritage raw data to GEDmatch, Genomelink and other services from the catalog.

Do MyHeritage sequencing kits work?

Yes. Newer MyHeritage kits use low-pass sequencing and come in the same CSV format. Note that part of the genotypes in such files is statistically inferred (imputed).

Why convert if services accept this format?

If a service accepts your original file, upload the original. Conversion helps when a service or a program only reads the 23andMe format, or when you want files from different companies in one layout.

Is it safe?

Yes. The file is processed right in your browser, on your device: it is never sent to our server or shared with anyone. Nothing is kept after you close the tab.
