The best way to visualize statistical information is by using charts. If you present an audience with raw figures, people’s eyes may glaze over. But if you present data visually such as when you need to show how sales of your product have grown, then more people will follow your main points. Microsoft Excel provides a pretty easy way to create charts based on the data in the worksheet but there are times when I do not have Microsoft Excel installed and I really need to create a chart.

Not to panic because as long as you have a web browser and an internet connection, you can easily create Bar, Pie, Line Plots, Gauge, Map, Ring, Cartesian, Candle, TimeSeries, Diagram, Radar type of charts. All you need to do is visit the online chart creator website, specify the size of the graph, graph type, color, X and Y data, and you’re set. Some websites requires you to create an account for free so you can actually save your graph and then modify it at a later time.


I’ve found 10 websites that offers free online chart creation, but only the top 4 which I personally felt that its easier to use because it has the ability to import data from text or excel file.

1. ChartGizmo
2. ChartGo
3. Chartle
4. DIY Chart

Although the 4 websites above should be enough for me to create my own free graphs, but I’m just listing the others that I’ve found.

5. Chart Tool
6. BARCHART
7. Create A Graph
8. CSS Chart Generator
9. Google Chart Creator
10. Hohli Online Charts Builder

For those people like me that doesn’t know how to use Excel at all, creating a chart from it is going to take some learning. But when I use ChartGizmo or ChartGo, it’s so simple and straight forward that I can just enter the data, select the options and I get a nice looking graph. Can’t get any easier than that.
