Bar graph maker: from a list to a moving bar chart
Paste a list of names and numbers to get a clean horizontal bar graph that grows into place. Paste a table with dates and it becomes a bar chart race. Export either as a video or an image.

Two ways to make a bar graph
One set of values: paste two columns, a label and a number (for example a survey result or a top-10 list). The bars animate from zero to their values and sort themselves.
Values over time: paste one column per item and one row per date. The bars race, overtake each other and finish on a leaderboard.
Make a bar graph in four steps
Copy your cells from Excel or Google Sheets and paste them into the editor.
Choose Bar race. Set how many bars to show (3 to 15) and add a prefix or suffix like $ or %.
Pick a theme and format, write a title and add a source line.
Export an MP4, or download the finished frame as a PNG for slides and documents.
Bar graph tips
Sort is automatic: the biggest value is always on top, which is what readers expect from a horizontal bar graph.
Round your numbers. Labels with one or two significant decimals read better than raw data.
Use a flag emoji or upload a logo per bar to make long labels instantly recognisable.
Want vertical bars instead? Switch to the column chart; it uses the same data.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a bar graph and a bar chart?
Nothing: they're two names for the same thing. Bars can be horizontal (often called a bar chart) or vertical (often called a column chart), and this tool makes both.
What data format do I need?
Any table works. Put dates down the first column and one column per item, or put items down the first column and dates across the top row. A three-column list (date, name, value) works too. Paste straight from Excel or Google Sheets, or upload a CSV.
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.
Can I download the bar graph as an image?
Yes. Pause where you like and use Cover PNG to save that frame as a full-size image.
