Perfect for quick reports, lightweight analytics, and school projects.

1. Drop a CSV with categories

Upload any CSV where one column is a label (region, month, product) and another is a number.

2. Pick the column for each bar

Plotiq labels each bar from your category column. Recolor bars and edit the title inline.

3. Download the bar graph

Export PNG for decks, PDF for print, SVG for vector editing. No sign-up required at any step.

What is a bar graph, exactly?

A bar graph uses rectangular bars to compare values across categories. The bar length encodes the value, so longer bars = higher numbers.

How do I create a bar graph from a CSV file?

Upload the CSV, pick the category column for the X axis, pick one or more numeric columns for the Y axis, then click Generate. The bar graph renders instantly.

How many bars should a bar graph have?

Five to thirty bars is the readability sweet spot. Beyond that, bars get thin and the graph starts looking like a histogram.

Can I change bar colors individually?

Yes. Tap any legend swatch to open the color picker — choose from the preset palette or enter a hex code to match your brand.
