MakeYourChart

Data videos made for Reels, TikTok and Shorts

Every layout is built for vertical video: titles and labels sit inside the safe zone so the app's buttons and captions never cover your numbers.

The format that works

  • Second 0: a question title on screen and motion already happening. No intro.
  • Seconds 1 to 25: the race, with a lead change and one or two story captions.
  • Last 3 to 5 seconds: a ranked end card that answers the question.
  • Caption: restate the question and ask viewers what they would have picked.

Posting tips

Add a trending sound inside Instagram or TikTok after uploading; native sounds usually get more reach than baked-in music. Pro members can also add their own track before export.

Post the same chart in 9:16 for Reels and TikTok and in 16:9 for YouTube. One project, two exports.

Frequently asked questions

What size should a Reel be?

1080 by 1920 pixels (9:16). MakeYourChart exports exactly that, or 4K on Pro.

Where are the safe zones?

Keep text out of the top 8% and bottom 18% of the frame and away from the right edge where the like and comment buttons sit. MakeYourChart's vertical layouts already do this.

Is it free?

Yes. You can build, preview and export 720p videos with a small watermark for free, no account needed. Pro is $11.99 a month and swaps our watermark for your logo, adds 1080p and 4K, 60 fps and music. Pro + AI is $19.99 a month and adds AI cleanup for messy data.
