Enter your data to instantly generate a clear bar chart. This free online tool supports custom labels, colors, and titles for easy data visualization.
Separate values with commas, semicolons, or tabs. The first row can contain series headers. Use the first column for x-axis categories and each additional column for a data series. Add multiple series to create grouped or stacked bars.
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
Paste text with one category column and one or more numeric series. The first row can name the series when its second cell is nonnumeric; otherwise the series receive generic labels. Commas, semicolons, and tabs are recognized as separators. The first cell of each data row is the category, and later cells are plotted as values. The input parser is deliberately simple: quoted CSV fields containing embedded commas are not parsed as full RFC 4180 CSV records.
Choose vertical columns or horizontal bars. With multiple series, choose grouped bars to compare series side by side or stacked bars to show their combined totals within each category. A single series is plotted without a meaningful grouped-versus-stacked comparison. You can add a chart title, show or hide the legend, tooltip, grid, or value labels, adjust series colors, then download the rendered chart as PNG or SVG.
For example, a header row Quarter,Online,In store followed by Q1,120,85 creates two series under Q1. RFC 4180 describes a common CSV format; this tool’s accepted separators and parsing behavior are narrower than a general spreadsheet importer.
Format context: IETF RFC 4180 documents a common CSV format and MIME type. This page uses a lightweight delimiter parser rather than claiming full RFC 4180 compatibility. Checked September 28, 2026.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Put category names in the first column and numeric series in the next columns. Add a header row such as Month,Sales,Returns when you want meaningful legend labels.
Paste comma-, semicolon-, or tab-separated lines. If you omit a header, the tool names the series generically. Each usable row needs a category and at least one numeric value.
Use horizontal bars for long category names or vertical bars for a familiar column chart. If two or more series are present, compare them grouped or stack them to show totals.
Enter a title, adjust colors and visibility options, then download PNG for a raster image or SVG for a scalable vector image.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
Paste monthly values for two departments and use grouped bars to compare each department within each month.
Use stacked bars when the component series add to a meaningful category total; label the series clearly so the pieces remain interpretable.
Set a concise title and choose PNG or SVG when placing the chart in a report, handout, or slide.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
No. Paste delimited text into the data area; this tool does not provide spreadsheet-file upload.
Cells that do not parse as numbers are treated as zero for that series. Review the preview and clean the source text if zero would misrepresent missing data.
No. Grouped bars place series side by side within categories. The tool does not create a mirrored positive-negative or population-pyramid chart.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
The chart reflects the pasted values and simple parser rules; it does not validate units, detect misleading comparisons, or choose a statistically appropriate chart for you. There are no manual axis range or axis-title controls. Missing or malformed numeric cells can appear as zero, so inspect every row before exporting. Grouped and stacked layouts serve different comparisons; stacked totals are meaningful only when the series can sensibly be added.
