Move a clean table from Excel, Google Sheets, or another spreadsheet into an editable chart without learning a complex design tool.

Use the general chart maker

Import your file once, then switch between chart types before you export.

Choose the chart you want to make

CSV and spreadsheet data can support several chart types. Pick the visual that matches the question you need to answer.

A simple table is enough

You do not need a special template. Put labels in the first column and one or more numeric measurements in the columns to the right. Clear column names prevent vague legends later.

From spreadsheet to finished graph

  1. Clean the table so every row represents one observation or category.
  2. Export CSV or Excel, or enter the table manually.
  3. Choose a chart type based on the comparison you need readers to make.
  4. Add units and context to the title or column headers.
  5. Export the visualization as PNG or SVG.

Frequently asked questions

Can I enter spreadsheet values manually?

Yes. Use the editable table to add rows and columns or replace the sample values.

Can I upload Google Sheets directly?

Not directly. Download the sheet as CSV or XLSX, then import that file.

Which chart should I choose?

Use bars for category comparison, lines for ordered trends, scatter plots for paired numeric values, and pie or donut for a simple part-to-whole breakdown.
