Tips for Creating Better Charts

  • Choose the right chart type for your data

    Use line charts for trends over time, bar charts for category comparisons, pie charts for part-to-whole (under 7 slices), scatter for correlations, and heatmaps for matrix data.

  • Keep your data clean and structured

    Use a clear header row with descriptive column names. Put categories in the first column and numeric values in the remaining columns. Remove totals and summary rows.

  • Use the AI mode for quick prototyping

    Describe what you want in plain English like 'quarterly revenue for 5 tech companies' and the AI will generate realistic sample data. You can then refine it in manual mode.

  • Customize colors for your audience

    Use the Colorblind-safe palette for accessible publications. Use Pastel for light, friendly presentations. Use Grayscale for print-optimized black-and-white output.

  • Export at the right size and format

    Set width/height to match your target display size. Use PNG for presentations and web, JPEG for smaller file sizes, and SVG for print and documents that need perfect scaling.

How to Use AI Chart Generation

The AI Generate mode lets you create charts without manually entering data. Describe what you need, upload a file, or both.

Generate from a text description

Simply describe the chart you want in natural language. The AI generates realistic, plausible data and picks the best chart type automatically.

"Monthly website traffic for an e-commerce site showing visitors, page views, and bounce rate for 2024"

Extract data from an uploaded image

Upload a screenshot of a table, chart, or data from a website. The AI uses vision to read the image and extract structured data for charting.

Upload a screenshot of a sales report table from your CRM

Analyze Excel, CSV, or text files

Upload a spreadsheet or data file and the AI will parse it, identify the most interesting columns, and generate a chart from the data.

Upload a .csv export from Google Analytics or a .xlsx budget spreadsheet

Combine a prompt with a file

Upload a file and add a description to tell the AI what to focus on. For example, upload raw data and say 'show only the top 10 products by revenue as a bar chart'.

Upload sales_data.csv + "Compare Q1 vs Q2 revenue by region"
