Frequently Asked Questions
How do I enter my data?
Click the Data tab and type directly into the grid. The first column is for your labels (e.g. months, categories, names). The second column is for your values. For multi-series charts like stacked bar or line, add more columns — each column becomes a separate data series. You can also switch to CSV mode and paste data directly from a spreadsheet.
Which chart type should I use?
Use a bar chart for comparing categories side by side. Use a line or area chart for showing trends over time. Use a pie or donut chart for showing proportions of a whole (best with fewer than 7 slices). Use a scatter chart for showing the relationship between two numerical variables. Use a radar chart for comparing multiple attributes across items. Use a stacked bar for showing composition and totals together.
How do I download my chart?
Once your chart looks right in the preview, click the Download PNG button. The chart image will be saved directly to your device. The downloaded image is clean with no watermarks.
Can I use multiple data series?
Yes. For bar, line, area, and stacked bar charts, add extra columns to your data grid — each column after the first becomes a separate series. Add a header in the first row of each column to name your series in the legend.
How do I paste data from Excel or Google Sheets?
Switch to CSV mode using the toggle above the data input. Copy your data from Excel or Google Sheets, then paste it into the text area. The tool will parse the comma-separated values automatically. Make sure to use a comma as the delimiter when copying.
Is there a limit to how much data I can enter?
There is no hard limit, but charts generally look best with 3 to 20 data points. Very large datasets can make charts hard to read — consider summarising your data if you have many rows.
Is my data saved?
Yes. Your data and settings are automatically saved to your browser local storage as you type. If you close the tab and return, everything will be exactly as you left it. Your data never leaves your device.
Why does my pie chart look wrong?
Pie and donut charts only use the first data column (the values column). Make sure your values are positive numbers and that you have a label for each value in the first column. Pie charts work best with 3 to 7 slices — more than that and the slices become too small to read clearly.
How to Choose the Right Chart for Your Data
One of the most common mistakes people make when visualising data is picking the wrong chart type. The right chart makes your data immediately understandable — the wrong one creates confusion even if the underlying numbers are clear. Here is a practical guide to choosing the right chart for your situation.
Bar and Column Charts — Comparing Categories
Bar charts are the most versatile and widely understood chart type. Use a vertical bar (column) chart when comparing values across a small number of distinct categories — for example, sales by product, scores by team, or budget by department. Use a horizontal bar chart when your category labels are long, or when you have many categories (more than 6 or 7). Stacked bar charts show both the total and the composition at the same time — useful when you want to see how individual parts contribute to the whole across categories.
Line and Area Charts — Showing Trends Over Time
Line charts are the go-to for time series data — anything measured at regular intervals over time. Monthly revenue, weekly active users, daily temperature readings — all of these belong on a line chart. The continuous line emphasises the flow and direction of change over time. Area charts are line charts with the area beneath the line filled in. They work particularly well when you want to emphasise volume or magnitude rather than just the trend, or when comparing two or three series and want to show overlap.
Pie and Donut Charts — Showing Proportions
Pie and donut charts show how a whole is divided into parts. They work best when you have a small number of categories (ideally 3 to 5, maximum 7) and the relative size of each slice is the main message. If all your slices are similar in size, a bar chart will communicate the differences more clearly than a pie. Donut charts are a modern variation that many designers prefer — the hollow centre can be used to display a total or key metric, and the ring format often looks cleaner in presentations.
Radar and Scatter Charts — Specialised Uses
Radar charts (also called spider charts) are ideal for comparing multiple attributes of two or three items at once — for example, comparing the skills of different candidates across several dimensions, or comparing product features side by side. Each attribute gets its own axis radiating from the centre. Scatter charts plot individual data points on two numerical axes and are used to reveal correlations or distributions — for example, plotting height against weight, or advertising spend against revenue. If the points cluster along a diagonal, there is a correlation; if they are scattered randomly, there is not.
