Chart Maker

What it's for

Make a clean, ready-to-use chart from a few labels and numbers, without opening a spreadsheet or a design app. Good for slides, documents, blog posts and quick looks at data.

For example, paste a column of months and their sales figures straight from a spreadsheet, and download a chart that’s ready to drop into a slide.

How to use it

Type or paste your data, one item per line: a label, then a value. Tabs, commas, colons and equals signs all work as separators, and so do cells copied from a spreadsheet. For several series, add a header row such as Month, Online, In store. Currency and % signs are ignored.

Then pick a chart type, colours, shape and font, and add a title, value prefixes or suffixes, gridlines, a legend or an average line. Download the result as PNG or SVG, copy it to the clipboard, or copy the data back out as a Markdown table or CSV.

Example

Replace the data with these lines:

Quarter, Online, In store
Q1, 120, 135
Q2, 98, 142
Q3, 143, 160
Q4, 170, 188

With Columns selected, you get a pair of columns for each quarter, one for online and one for in-store sales, with a legend. Switch to Line to compare the two as trends, or to Stacked columns to see each quarter’s total.

Good to know

Pie, doughnut and treemap charts use only the first series, and a pie with more than eight slices groups the smallest into “Other”. SVG stays sharp at any size; for PNG, choose 2× or more for high-resolution screens.
