Make a bar graph from your own numbers: vertical or horizontal bars, value labels, an axis that starts at zero, and downloads as PNG or SVG. Free, no sign-up.
| Colour | Label | Value | % | Delete |
|---|
Two columns: label, then value. Copy cells straight from Excel or Google Sheets, or paste CSV. A header row is detected and skipped. You can also paste directly into any row of the table.
Enter a label and a value on each row, or paste two columns from a spreadsheet. Choose Vertical for a column chart or Horizontal when your labels are long, such as names or survey answers. The value axis always starts at zero, so bar lengths are honest; negative values extend below (or left of) the zero line.
Sort bars largest first to make a ranking obvious, or keep them in the order entered for things with a natural order, like months. Use one colour for all bars unless the colours mean something; different colours on every bar make readers look for a pattern that isn't there.
Use a bar graph when you want people to compare values with each other, when there are more than five or six categories, or when some values are negative. Use a pie chart only to show how one whole divides into a few parts.
