About Chart maker
A chart for a slide, a report or a social post shouldn't need a spreadsheet program and a screenshot. Type your numbers into the grid, or copy a block of cells from Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers and paste it into any cell, and the chart redraws as you go. The first column holds the labels, such as months, products or cities, and each further column becomes a series, up to eight series and 100 rows.
Six chart types cover most needs: bars (vertical or horizontal, side by side or stacked), lines with optional smoothing and point markers, areas, pies and donuts for shares of a whole, and scatter plots with an optional trend line. Add a title, subtitle and axis titles, move the legend, show values on the bars or percentages on the slices, and write numbers your way with a currency sign, a unit, fixed decimals and 1,234.5, 1 234,5 or 1.234,5 separators. Long axes switch to 10K and 2M automatically.
The default colours are an eight-hue palette checked for colour-blind readers in both light and dark charts; there are also shades of blue for ordered series, greys for print, this site's theme colours and a picker for each series. Turn on patterns when a chart will be printed in black and white. Save a PNG at up to three times the chosen size, or an SVG that stays sharp at any zoom and opens in Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape, Word and PowerPoint.
Every chart comes with alt text describing its highest and lowest values, ready to paste beside the image. It is not a dashboard: there is no live data link, dual axis, map or 3D chart.
Privacy
The numbers you type or paste are drawn into a chart by this page on your device, and exports are made locally; nothing is sent to a server. Your table and settings are kept in this browser's local storage so they are still there after a reload, and Start over replaces them with the sample.
