What does this tool do
Chart Plotter turns spreadsheet-style data into a clean chart you can share or reuse. Upload a CSV or Excel file, choose a chart type, pick which columns to plot, tweak styling, and export.
How to use it
- Click Upload file and select a
.csvor.xlsxfile. - In Data selection, choose a Chart type and map the columns needed for that chart.
- Click Plot chart to generate a default chart preview.
- In Customize, adjust quick options (like legend). Use Advanced for styling and deeper control (title, theme, colors, axis scale, ranges, per-series colors, etc.).
- Export as SVG (best for editing/printing) or PNG (best for sharing as an image).
How it works
The tool parses your CSV or Excel file in the browser, auto-detects label vs numeric columns, and renders the chart with a client-side plotting library. Export is generated locally as SVG or PNG.
Use cases & examples
- Business reports: turn a CSV export into a quick line or bar chart.
- Data QA: spot outliers with a scatter plot.
- Slides: export an SVG chart, then edit labels/colors in your design tool.
- Quick comparisons: build a pie chart from a category + value CSV.
Example CSV (category + value):
Category,Amount
A,12
B,29
C,7
Example CSV (time series):
Date,Sales,Profit
2026-01-01,120,30
2026-01-02,150,42
Limitations & known constraints
- File processing is done in-browser, so extremely large files can be slow or may be rejected for performance.
- Pie charts require a numeric value column; rows with non-numeric values are skipped.
- If your CSV uses unusual separators or formatting, you may need to re-export it as a standard comma-separated CSV.
