Name Description License
Annotations QUick Analysis for PhylOgeNY (Aquapony[1]) Javascript tree viewer for Beast CeCILL
ETE toolkit Tree Viewer[2] an online tool for phylogenetic tree view (newick format) that allows multiple sequence alignments to be shown together with the trees (fasta format)
EvolView[3] an online tool for visualizing, annotating and managing phylogenetic trees
IcyTree[4] Client-side Javascript SVG viewer for annotated rooted trees. Also supports phylogenetic networks
Iroki[5] Automatic customization and visualization of phylogenetic trees
iTOL - interactive Tree Of Life[6] annotate trees with various types of data and export to various graphical formats; scriptable through a batch interface
Microreact[7] Link, visualise and explore sequence and meta-data using phylogenetic trees, maps and timelines
OneZoom[8] uses IFIG (Interactive Fractal Inspired Graphs) to display phylogenetic trees which can be zoomed in on to increase detail
Phylo.io[9] View and compare up to 2 trees side by side with interactive HTML5 visualisations
PhyloExplorer[10] a tool to facilitate assessment and management of phylogenetic tree collections. Given an input collection of rooted trees, PhyloExplorer provides facilities for obtaining statistics describing the collection, correcting invalid taxon names, extracting taxonomically relevant parts of the collection using a dedicated query language, and identifying related trees in the TreeBASE database.
PHYLOViZ Online[11] Web-based tool for visualization, phylogenetic inference, analysis and sharing of minimum spanning trees
PhyloWidget[12] view, edit, and publish phylogenetic trees online; interfaces with databases
PRESTO[13] a Phylogenetic tReE viSualisaTion.
Taxonium[14] web-based tool for exploration of very large trees including those with millions of nodes, with search and metadata coloring. When provided with a mutation-annotated tree, it illustrates mutations on the tree and displays final genotypes.
T-REX (Webserver)[15]
 Tree inference and visualization (hierarchical, radial and axial tree views), Horizontal gene transfer detection and HGT network visualization
TidyTree[16] A client-side HTML5/SVG Phylogenetic Tree Renderer, based on D3.js
TreeVector[17] scalable, interactive, phylogenetic trees for the web, produces dynamic SVG or PNG output, implemented in Java
