How to make a bar chart

  1. Add your data. Put the names in the first column (months, products, places) and the numbers in the next. Type over the example, paste cells from Excel or Google Sheets, or open an .xlsx, .xls or .csv file. The chart changes as you type.
  2. Choose the look. Drag the chart to turn it, or type a Turn and a Tilt. Pick a palette, and the width, depth and rounding of the columns.
  3. Download it. Save the chart as a PNG picture or an SVG file, or copy it straight into Word, PowerPoint or Google Slides.

Tips for a good-looking chart

  • One color per column makes a few categories stand out, like in a presentation. With two or more columns of numbers, each column of numbers keeps one color, and a legend names them.
  • The angle: a small Turn (20–35°) and Tilt (20–30°) show the front of each column and still keep the heights easy to compare. A Turn of 0 looks at the chart straight on.
  • Numbers on the columns show each exact value. If the columns are too narrow for them, the page hides them and says so.
  • Only values from zero up stand on the base. A negative value is drawn as zero. For negative values, or for flat, sideways or stacked bars, use the bar chart maker or the chart maker.

Download and use your chart

  • PNG is a picture, saved at twice the size you see so it stays sharp. With the background set to None it is see-through around the chart.
  • SVG is a vector file: it stays crisp at any size and opens in programs such as Inkscape, Illustrator or PowerPoint, where it looks the same as here.
  • Copy image puts the chart on your clipboard, ready to paste.
  • Your data stays on your computer. The chart is drawn in your browser, and your last chart is remembered in this browser only: press Last run to bring it back.
