Chart from a table

How the chart from a table works

Copy a table from Excel, Google Sheets or a web page and paste it into the box, or upload a CSV or XLSX file. The tool turns it into a chart you can download as a PNG for a presentation, or as an SVG that can be edited further and never gets blurry.

• The first column holds the category labels: months, branches, products. Every further column with numbers is one series, named after its header.
• Column and bar charts compare values across categories, line and area charts show development over time, pie and donut charts show shares of a whole.
• Numbers can use either a comma or a dot as the decimal separator, “1 250,50” as well as “1250.50”. A percent sign or currency after the number is fine, text is skipped.
• Size depends on where the chart goes: 1200 × 675 suits a slide or an article, 1080 × 1080 suits social media.

Frequently asked questions

Why were not all columns of the table drawn?

Only columns containing at least one number make it into the chart. A column of notes or codes is skipped. If numbers are not recognised, check that the cells do not contain extra text such as “approx.” or units in the middle.

How do I make a pie chart from a different column?

A pie shows the shares of a single series, so it takes the first numeric column. To use another one, move it right after the labels in your table or delete the other columns before pasting.

What is the difference between PNG and SVG?

PNG is a raster image rendered at double resolution so it stays sharp on high-density displays; it can be inserted anywhere. SVG is a vector, scales without any loss of quality and opens in Inkscape, Figma or Illustrator for further editing.

How much data can the chart handle?

Up to 500 rows and 12 series. More categories would not be readable in one image anyway; summarise a longer table before pasting, for example by month instead of by day.

Is the table sent to a server?

No, the chart is built in your browser and the data never leaves it.
