The family tree should literally be a tree… I’m just going to put the names/pics there… Does a software/site like that exist?

As I understand your question, you already have the data and want a service that will print a large, colorful chart with your data.
Roots Magic has a service that will, for a fee, print a number of large, colorful charts of one ancestral couple and their descendants or one couple and their ancestors.
Seehttp://www.rootsmagic.com/wallcharts.htm
andhttp://generationmaps.com/php/heirloomop…
If you don’t have the data, post another Q or read the resolved ones, because “How do I find my family tree?” comes up 3 times a day here.

I use Ancestry.com. They have lots of ways to do it.

Ancestry.com is one of the better online resources but, they can be expensive to access a lot of the data. If you don’t need to do any research, I’d go with them. The family tree (World Tree) is free to everyone.

Family Tree Maker 2005 is the software I use and it allows you to make all kinds of charts with using pictures or trees as backgrounds. Family pages, ancestry line, descendent line, relationship calculator. so many reports. I love this program.

If you are asking that the family tree literally look like a real tree, you might have to do that by hand. If you Google it, I’m sure you can find a tree picture that you can print out that has spaces for you to add in names/pics.
If you want to do something on the computer, there are programs like PAF (free) at http://www.familysearch.org, Rootsmagic as mentioned before ($30) and a few others that can help you make charts.
There are also online places to do something like this–geni, http://www.familyinhistory.com , and some others.

i’m not sure if it does as you request but try
myheritage.com
the face recognition is a lot of fun even if the family tree thing is no good to you
