Datawrapper is one of the best tools for clean, accessible static and interactive charts, and newsrooms rely on it for good reason. What it isn't built for is animation: charts that race through time and export as video.

Frequently asked questions
Can Datawrapper make a bar chart race?
No, Datawrapper focuses on static and interactive charts rather than animations over time.
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.
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.
