## Common questions

### Can I move my family data to or from other genealogy software?

Yes, webtrees handles the GEDCOM standard, so import and export with other software is possible.

### What server configuration is needed for pretty URLs?

Your web server must support URL rewriting; Apache, NGINX, IIS or a similar server is listed as suitable.

### What PHP limits should I change for a large tree?

PHP memory and execution time should scale with tree size, from 16-32 MB and 10-20 s for about 500 individuals to 64-128 MB and 40-80 s for about 50,000.

### Who should I contact if a third-party webtrees installer has problems?

Third-party installers and pre-built packages are unofficial; contact the provider directly if you have problems with them.

### Can relatives collaborate on the same family tree?

You can create additional user accounts so family members can build the tree together.
