If you also have Heredis software on your Windows machine, you can transfer your genealogy file from your mobile device to your computer.
N.B.: Each version of Heredis has its own file format. This transfer will only work if both the mobile application and the Windows software are on the same version (e.g. Heredis 2024 mobile application to Heredis 2024 for Windows ) or if you are transferring it to convert it to a higher version (e.g. Heredis 2023 mobile application to Heredis 2024 Windows software).
Please note that this transfer method does not allow you to downgrade your file to a lower version of the software (for example, from the Heredis 2024 mobile application to the Heredis 2023 for Windows).
Open Heredis on the device containing your genealogy file, and go to the "Tools" menu:
Select "Export family Tree":
Follow the instructions to export the file.
You can then transfer your genealogy to Windows by e-mail or via a Cloud application.
- For an e-mail transfer (file size under 20 MB):
Once the export is complete, go to "Files" and compress the hmwz file:
Once the exported file is compressed, you can transfer the zipped .hmwz file from one iOS device to the other by sending an e-mail to yourself :
=> Go to the end of this article to see what to do on your Windows machine.
- To send your file through a Cloud application ( such as iCloud, Google drive, etc....):
Note: compression is not required here, so you can send the file in hmwz format directly.
If the size of your zipped family tree exceeds 20 MB, it may be rejected by your mailbox. In this case, you'll need to send it via a Cloud application, as illustrated below.
As your genealogy is exported, you can send it to iCloud.

Alternatively, you could upload your file to Google drive (or any other Cloud application you may be using):
RECEIVING THE FILE ON WINDOWS :
On your Windows computer, download the hmwz file from your Cloud application or from the e-mail you've sent yourself. Place it in the default location :
Once the file has been downloaded, open Heredis, and from the home page, select Open a genealogy :
Change the type of files to display by clicking on the drop-down menu and choosing "Backup files" :
Select your .hmwz file and click Open :
