Your data never leaves this browser

The file is parsed, previewed and charted on your own device. Nothing is uploaded — not even a sample. Close the tab and the data is gone.

Or paste table text

Load a table with a time column, a name column and a value column, then click Generate chart.

How it works

  1. 1.Load a table where each row is one measurement: when it happened, what it is about, and the number.
  2. 2.Pick the time, name and value columns, then choose how many bars stay on screen (Top N) — 10 is the usual choice.
  3. 3.Click Generate chart: it starts playing immediately. Use Play/Pause and the slider to scrub, and the speed menu to slow it down for a presentation.
  4. 4.Download the frame you stopped on as a PNG. Rows with a missing name or a non-numeric value are listed under the chart.
