In 2025 one of the big family-history sites stopped taking other companies' DNA files, an open database deleted everything it held, and two test companies changed what their files look like. This guide walks through where a raw DNA file can still go in 2026, what each place does with it, and which doors have closed.
Written by Martin Pechhacker, Vienna Last checked 19 October 2026 17 min read
23andMe and AncestryDNA take no file from another company, and MyHeritage stopped in mid-May 2025. FamilyTreeDNA and Living DNA still take one, free of charge.
To find relatives, three matching databases still accept a file: GEDmatch, FamilyTreeDNA and Living DNA.
To have the file read for health, traits or medication response, about thirty services take an upload. The clearest difference between them is what happens to the file: some never receive it, some delete it after the report, most keep it in an account.
A newer file is harder to place. FamilyTreeDNA refuses AncestryDNA files from samples processed after September 2025, and several services name only 23andMe and AncestryDNA.
THE SHORT VERSION
You downloaded your raw data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA or Living DNA, and now it sits in a folder. It can still do three things. It can find relatives, in a database where other people have put their files. It can be read, by a service that turns the letters into reports on traits, health or medication response. Or it can go to research.
Where a raw DNA file can go in 2026, as read on each company's own pages on 19 September 2026.
The rest of this page follows that picture: first the five test companies, then each of the three ways in turn, then the places that have closed and the reason so many answers online are out of date. Every statement about a company was read on that company's own pages, and the numbered sources at the end of the page say where.
THE FIVE TEST COMPANIES
The two largest databases are closed to outside files and always have been. 23andMe puts it plainly: "We do not support uploading DNA data obtained from other testing services to 23andMe." Its one exception was a limited offer on DNA Day in April 2018, which showed uploaders a few trait reports and never opened relative matching to them. Ancestry says the same in one sentence of its help page: "DNA Data from other websites cannot be uploaded to Ancestry." To be matched against either database, a person has to be tested by that company. Sources 1 2
MyHeritage is the door that closed. For years it was the most popular place to move a file to, and it stopped without an announcement. Its blog gives the date in an answer to a reader's question: "No, as of mid-May 2025, DNA uploads are no longer supported." Its help center now says: "DNA uploads are no longer supported at MyHeritage. This means you cannot upload DNA data from other testing services." People who uploaded before the change keep what they have, in MyHeritage's words: "Your existing DNA results remain valid and compatible with all current MyHeritage DNA features." MyHeritage also owns Promethease, which still takes files and appears further down. Sources 3 4 5
That leaves FamilyTreeDNA and Living DNA, which both take a file from the other companies without charge, and GEDmatch, which sells no test and exists only for uploads. They are the next section.

Relative matching only works where other people's DNA already is, so the list is short. Each of the three below compares your file with everyone else in its database and shows you the people who share long stretches of DNA with you, with an estimate of how you are related.
Find Family Members From Around The World Using DNA Matching
GEDmatch, "How it Works", captured 19 September 2026. Source 14
GEDmatch sells no test of its own, which makes it the one place where files from every company meet. Its upload option is called "Generic uploads (23andMe, FTDNA, AncestryDNA, most others)". Matching, the origins calculators and the one-to-one comparisons are free, and a subscription adds the advanced tools. The original file is deleted soon after it has been processed. What stays is the processed entry, under one of four privacy options you choose at the upload: Private, Personal Research, Opt-in or Opt-out. The option decides who your entry is compared with, entries made on behalf of law enforcement included, and you can change it later. GEDmatch is operated by Verogen, a subsidiary of Qiagen.

Upload your AncestryDNA™, 23andMe©, or MyHeritage™ autosomal DNA data to FamilyTreeDNA and connect with new relatives for FREE.
FamilyTreeDNA, the upload page, captured 19 September 2026. Source 6
FamilyTreeDNA is a test company that also lets outside files in. An upload gets the match list and a tool for comparing up to ten matches with each other for free; a one-time unlock adds the chromosome browser, the origins estimate and a Y-DNA haplogroup. It takes part in law-enforcement matching as well, through a setting in the account, and its help page calls taking part "entirely voluntary", a choice left to each customer. Sources 7 12
It is particular about the file. Only an unaltered file from AncestryDNA, 23andMe (versions 3 to 5) or MyHeritage is accepted, and only certain years of each. Its help page lists what it cannot take, among them Living DNA files, whole-genome files, AncestryDNA results received from October 2025 on, and MyHeritage files from its sequencing-based test.
What goes in stays in. Its help page says: "Raw data from Autosomal Transfers cannot be downloaded". An account that already holds a Family Finder test cannot receive an uploaded file at all.
It paused uploads in mid-2026. The notice, which expected them back "by July 31, 2026", was still online on 19 September 2026, and so was the working upload form.
Already tested your DNA through 23andMe, Ancestry or MyHeritage? Upload for free and upgrade to receive additional reports by Living DNA.
Living DNA, "Free DNA Upload", captured 19 September 2026. Source 13
Living DNA takes the widest range of the three: files from AncestryDNA, 23andMe, MyHeritage and FamilyTreeDNA, and from two older services, Gene by Gene and the Genographic Project. A free upload returns your origins across eight continental regions and relative matching, which you switch on yourself. The page adds a caution of its own: "For a limited amount of time, you will receive a continental result." The finer regional results come with a paid upgrade. "Fully deletable" is how the page describes the uploaded file. Source 13
Four more sites match a file against their own uploaders. Genomelink describes it as "We match across Ancestry, 23andMe, MyHeritage, and more". tellmeGen includes a relative finder in its free plan. Borland Genetics is built for a special task, rebuilding the DNA of an ancestor from the files of several descendants. YourDNAPortal offers relative matching as an opt-in feature beside its origins calculators. Their databases are far smaller than the three above, so a match there is a bonus and not the reason to go. Sources 16 17 19 23
A second group compares a file with reference populations and matches it with nobody. They suit people who want a second opinion on the origins estimate of their test company, or a look further back than any of the test companies go.
MyTrueAncestry, home page, captured 19 September 2026. Source 20
MyTrueAncestry compares a file with DNA from archaeological sites and says it supports "all major formats". It keeps its users apart on purpose: "MyTrueAncestry by design does not enable anyone to search or match data with another user." It has a free level with one-time upgrades, and the raw file is deleted after the analysis. Illustrative DNA works along the same lines with ancient and modern populations and names MyHeritage, 23andMe, AncestryDNA, FamilyTreeDNA, Living DNA and tellmeGen. DNAGenics takes the same files plus those of Nebula Genomics. ADNTRO adds maternal and paternal haplogroups and leaves matching out on principle: "We don't offer relative matching, in keeping with our principle of total sample anonymity", as its page says. Sources 20 21 22 18
HEALTH, TRAITS AND MEDICATION
This is the crowded part of the map: about thirty services take an existing file and return reports of their own, and none of them needs a new sample. Their feature lists blur into each other. What separates them clearly is what happens to your file, so that is how they are grouped here.
A handful of services send the program to the file and not the file to the program: the reading happens inside your browser or an app. Genetic Lifehacks works this way for its members ("data stays on your computer") and takes 23andMe versions 3 to 5, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, tellmeGen, Sequencing.com, SelfDecode and 24Genetics files, the newer AncestryDNA files included. GenomeInsight says: "Your raw genetic data file is never uploaded to any server." GenesUnveiled puts it as "Processed in your browser • Never uploaded • Never stored". Genomapp, an app, and Noorns NuGen, which sells nutrition reports, state the same. Sources 26 41 47 49 45
Promethease: the sample report linked from promethease.com, captured 17 September 2026. Source 24
Promethease is the oldest name in this field. It calls itself "a literature retrieval system that builds a personal DNA report based on connecting a file of DNA genotypes to the scientific findings cited in SNPedia", charges a fee for each report, and emails the report once. Before an upload, every user confirms: "I understand that my report will be emailed to me as an attachment and will not be stored on Promethease servers." It names customers of 23andMe, AncestryDNA, FamilyTreeDNA and Genos. ReadYourDNA and Promethease sets the two side by side. Source 24
Genetic Genie, home page, captured 19 September 2026. Source 25
Genetic Genie is the free one: "Everything is anonymous and free!" It reads files from all five test companies and several smaller ones, takes whole-genome and exome files, and returns variant annotation and methylation and detox panels. Its privacy policy says an upload is kept for up to 24 hours. Others in this group: the-genome.com ("After your report is generated, raw genomic data is permanently deleted from our servers"), codegen.eu, which processes the file in memory and asks for it again at every visit, StrateGene, which stores nothing and offers the report for download for 20 days, and FoundMyFitness, which discards the raw data once the report is made and keeps the report for six months. Sources 25 42 36 33 32
Genomelink, home page, captured 19 September 2026. Source 16
Most services keep the file so that new reports can be added later without a second upload. Genomelink takes files from all five companies and whole-genome files, gives 100 trait reports for free, and sells the rest singly or by subscription; it says it never shares or sells DNA data "without your clear consent". SelfDecode reads a long list of providers and sells the upload as a product, with the note that "Uploaded DNA files do not include all SelfDecode features and reports". Xcode Life sells reports by topic, singly or in bundles, and lets you delete the raw data from its servers at any time. Sequencing.com stores files "from almost any genetic test", whole-genome files included, and sells apps and reports on top. DNA Complete, the upload service of Nebula Genomics, takes AncestryDNA and 23andMe files only and works by subscription. Sources 16 27 28 29 30
ReadYourDNA: one trait page of the demo genome. Source 60 Open the demo
ReadYourDNA, the site you are reading, belongs in this group. It takes files from all five test companies and sequencing VCF files up to 10 GB, and returns polygenic trait scores, medication-response annotation, carrier annotation and an annotated variant explorer, each with the studies behind it. Creating an account and uploading are free, the reports cost one payment, and there is no subscription. The file stays in your account until you delete it. Sources 60 61 62
Many services do one thing. For nutrition there are GenoPalate, Gene Food and NutraHacker, which gives one report free. For medication response there is Gene2Rx, and DecodeMyBio, which adds carrier status, nutrition and polygenic scores. FitnessGenes reads a file for fitness, AskMyDNA answers questions about your variants one at a time, and MTHFR Support builds a variant report. LifeDNA, Livewello, tellmeGen, Dante Labs, Gencove and Your DNA Unlocked each take an upload into a broader set of reports. Which files each of them names is in its entry in the sources.

Educational, not medical advice.
Upload tools are written for the files that existed when they were built, and three of the five test companies have changed how they read DNA since autumn 2025. FamilyTreeDNA's help pages say that AncestryDNA and MyHeritage both changed their testing process in September or October 2025 and that the raw data produced since then does not work with its system. It describes the newer AncestryDNA file as having about 430,000 rows and no Y-chromosome or mitochondrial lines, against about 680,000 rows in the files it accepts. Genetic Lifehacks puts the same change in different words: "Ancestry changed its data files in March 2026 and now covers fewer variants." The two sources differ on the month and agree that the newer file covers fewer positions; unlike FamilyTreeDNA, Genetic Lifehacks says: "Those files still work". Sources 7 8 26
AncestryDNA. The date inside the file is the day of the download, not the day the sample was read, so the line count is the quicker check: about 650,000 to 700,000 lines is the file most tools expect. What is inside an AncestryDNA raw data file shows the header and the versions.
MyHeritage. Its own test moved to whole-genome sequencing in 2025. FamilyTreeDNA takes MyHeritage array files processed between March 2019 and October 2025 and no file from the newer method.
FamilyTreeDNA. Its own autosomal test has run on a sequencing panel since 2 March 2026, and it says raw data downloads continue as before. When an older test is upgraded, "your previous raw data, match lists, and myOrigins estimates will be replaced permanently", and its help page tells customers to download the old file first if they want to keep a copy.
23andMe. Nothing has changed in the file: every service on this page names 23andMe. What is inside a 23andMe raw data file shows how to tell its chip versions apart.
Living DNA. The narrowest choice of the five. GEDmatch, Genetic Genie, Genomelink, SelfDecode, Xcode Life, codegen.eu, LifeDNA, DNAGenics, YourDNAPortal and ReadYourDNA name it; FamilyTreeDNA lists it among the files it cannot take.
Some services are narrow on purpose. DNA Complete takes AncestryDNA and 23andMe files only, FoundMyFitness gives full support to the same two, Gene Food names the same two, and StrateGene takes every 23andMe version but only the second AncestryDNA array. Where a service does not name your file, its own page is the place to look before paying. Sources 30 32 39 33
RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATIONS
Open Humans, "Add data", captured 19 September 2026. Source 52
A file can also go to people who study DNA. Open Humans, run by a nonprofit foundation, has upload tools for 23andMe and AncestryDNA files and for genome and exome files. It keeps a file private until you decide otherwise: "Only the recipients you've selected will be granted access to your personal data." Files can be deleted at any time. The Harvard Personal Genome Project sits at the other end of the scale. It enrolls United States citizens and permanent residents, and asks for "willingness to share genetic, health and trait data in a public and non-anonymous manner". Its Canadian sister project "is now closed to new participants". Sources 52 53 54
A different kind of giving is DNASolves, a database run by the forensic company Othram. It takes a raw file at no charge and uses it only to help identify people in investigations. Contributors get nothing back from it, by its own description: "We do not allow public search or matching against your DNA profile." Source 55
Most lists of upload sites are wrong in the same way: they still carry names from this section.
MyHeritage, mid-May 2025. Uploads from other companies ended. Earlier uploaders keep their results and their matches.
openSNP, 30 April 2025. The open database, where thousands of people had published their files for anyone to study, was switched off and every file deleted. Its founder announced it on 31 March 2025 and named the 23andMe bankruptcy as the immediate reason.
LunaDNA, 31 January 2024. The research platform that paid contributors in shares closed.
Geneanet, 20 November 2023. The French genealogy site stopped taking files on that day and deleted its whole DNA section, uploaded files included, a month later.
DNA.Land, 29 September 2019. The academic project closed and deleted accounts and data. Its address leads to an unrelated advertising page today.
impute.me and DNAfit. On 19 September 2026 both addresses opened the site of another company.
Each date above is the organization's own, from its announcement or from an archived copy of it. Sources 4 57 59 56 58
A policy changes in a day; the pages written about it stay for years. On 18 September 2026 the AI overview that Google shows above its results for "what to do with 23andme raw data" still named MyHeritage as a place that allows free raw data uploads, sixteen months after MyHeritage stopped. For "where to upload dna raw data", the first forum snippet on the page was a three-year-old post recommending the same. MyHeritage's own upload tutorial still comes up for the question, with its August 2025 notice in small print above the old instructions. FamilyTreeDNA's pause notice from mid-2026 is still online next to a working upload form. Sources 5 9
That is the reason every statement on this page carries the day it was read. A status read on the company's own page this month is worth more than a confident list from last year, including this one a year from now.
BEFORE AN UPLOAD
Both of the companies that take no uploads publish advice for customers who send their file elsewhere. Ancestry's help page recommends making sure the other site has four things in place: Source 2
A privacy policy or statement that outlines the steps taken to secure your data
An institutional review board that ensures ethical compliance regarding how your data is used
The option to delete your data at any time
A secure website that's password-protected and uses SSL encryption
23andMe words it as questions: "Does the third-party service have a track record of strong privacy and data security?" and "How will the third-party service use your information? How can your information be further shared with other third parties?" The short answer of each service is in the sections above, and its privacy policy is the long one. For ReadYourDNA those answers are in the privacy policy and the FAQ. Source 1
No. MyHeritage ended uploads from other companies in mid-May 2025, and its help center says: "DNA uploads are no longer supported at MyHeritage." If you uploaded before that, your results and matches are still there.
You no longer can. The step-by-step tutorials that still come up in a search are MyHeritage's own older articles, and each now opens with a notice that uploads are not being accepted.
No. 23andMe says: "We do not support uploading DNA data obtained from other testing services to 23andMe." The one exception was a limited offer in April 2018.
No. Ancestry's help page says: "DNA Data from other websites cannot be uploaded to Ancestry." Its database only holds samples it has processed itself.
Every destination on this page names 23andMe. For relatives that means GEDmatch, FamilyTreeDNA and Living DNA; for reports, any of the services that read the file.
Those that say so on their own pages: Genetic Genie, Genomelink, Sequencing.com, GenomeInsight, the-genome.com, DecodeMyBio and ReadYourDNA, plus ADNTRO, Livewello and Gene2Rx on a paid level. FamilyTreeDNA and codegen.eu state that they do not.
Genetic Genie is free throughout. Several others give part of their reports without payment: Genomelink (100 trait reports), NutraHacker (one report), FoundMyFitness (basic reports), tellmeGen (a free plan), GenomeInsight and codegen.eu (a free level each). What the free part covers is on each service's own page.
No. Both take the file for free and show matches for free. Both keep part of their results behind a paid unlock: the chromosome browser, origins and haplogroup at FamilyTreeDNA, the finer origins results at Living DNA.
It depends on the service. Some read the file in your browser and never receive it, some delete it once the report exists, and most keep it in your account until you delete it. The section on services that read the file groups them by exactly that.
Every figure on this page was read from the page named, on the date named. ReadYourDNA publishes this page. If something here is out of date, write to support@readyourdna.com.
