How do I make a bar chart online?

Enter a label and a value for each bar, or start from a sample. Pick a color, choose vertical or horizontal bars, and toggle values and gridlines. The chart updates live, then download it as a PNG or SVG. No signup and no watermark.

Can I switch between bar, line, and area?

Yes. The same data renders as a bar, line, or area chart with one click, so you can compare which reads best without re-entering anything.

Can I make a horizontal bar chart?

Yes. Toggle the orientation to switch between vertical columns and horizontal bars. Horizontal works well when you have long category labels.

Can I download the chart as PNG or SVG?

Yes, both are free with no watermark. SVG stays crisp at any size and edits in Figma or Illustrator; PNG is a high-resolution raster ready for a slide, doc, or post.

Can I generate bar charts automatically via an API?

Yes. Save the chart as an Imejis template, mark it dynamic, and POST fresh data and labels to one endpoint to render an updated chart on every call.
