Bar graph maker: vertical, horizontal, grouped or stacked

Make a bar graph - vertical or horizontal, grouped or stacked - here in this tab, with nothing uploaded.

How to make a bar graph

  1. Paste categories in the first column and one column of numbers per series.
  2. Choose vertical or horizontal bars, side by side or stacked.
  3. Add a title and axis names, then save the graph.

Why this one stays private

Bar graphs are how results get shared: survey answers, quarterly numbers, a class's scores. This draws yours in the browser, so the figures never pass through anyone's server.

Questions

Can I paste straight from Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Copy the cells and paste them into the data box - they arrive as columns. You can also drop an .xlsx, .xls, .ods or .csv file; the first sheet is read.

Bar graph or bar chart?

The same thing. Some people keep 'bar chart' for horizontal bars and 'column chart' for vertical ones; this tool does both.

Grouped, stacked or 100%?

Grouped puts the series side by side to compare them; stacked shows the total and its parts; 100% stacked shows each part's share when the totals differ.

Can each bar have its own colour?

Yes, for a single series of up to eight bars - tick 'A colour per bar'.

What can I save it as?

PNG at twice the screen size, for documents and slides; SVG, a vector file that stays sharp at any size and opens in Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape or PowerPoint; or copy the image and paste it straight into a doc or a chat.
