How it works

Make a bar chart race in three steps

Step 1

Paste your table

Name in the first column, then one column per point in time. Copy straight out of Excel or Google Sheets, or upload a CSV.

Step 2

Set colours and photos

Give each row its own colour and an optional photo, which shows as a circular avatar riding the end of its bar.

Step 3

Export the video

Pick 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, preview it, then export. No watermark and no sign-up.

Why use this

What makes it different

🔒

Your data stays yours

The chart is drawn and recorded in your browser. Nothing you paste and no photo you add is ever sent to a server.

📱

Made for vertical video

Most chart race tools only export widescreen. Pick 9:16 and you get a video sized correctly for Reels, Shorts and TikTok.

🖼️

Photos on the bars

Add a face to each row and the ranking becomes far easier to follow than colour alone.

✅

No watermark, no limit

Export as many videos as you like. Nothing is stamped on them and nothing is capped.

Guide

How to use the Bar Chart Race Maker

  1. Choose a Chart type at the top of the panel. Racing bars is the classic overtaking leaderboard, Line chart traces each row's line forward as time passes, and Chess style draws smooth curves with the names stacked down the right-hand side.
  2. Replace the example in Your data with your own table, or press Upload CSV to open a .csv, .tsv or .txt file. Sample CSV downloads a template to fill in.
  3. Press Load data whenever you edit the text box. The line under the buttons confirms the rows, steps and video length, or a red message explains what went wrong.
  4. In Rows, colours & photos, click the colour square beside a name to recolour it, click Photo to attach an image, and use × to take the photo off again.
  5. Under Look, add an optional title, pick the size, then set Bars shown (4 to 14) and Seconds/step (0.4 to 4 seconds per column). Switch the Big date label and Leader card to Show if you want them, and choose what the Corner stat displays.
  6. Press Play to preview, or drag the slider under the chart to check any moment by hand.
  7. Press Export video. The race plays once while it records, then the file downloads.

Tips for better results

What the exported video contains

Exports record at 30 frames per second at full resolution, whatever the preview size: 1920×1080 for 16:9, 1080×1920 for 9:16 and 1080×1080 for 1:1. The file is named after your title, or chart-race.webm when the title is empty. If an editor or platform you use does not accept WebM, convert it to MP4 first.

It suits any table that changes over time: ranking videos about populations or subscriber counts, a class's quiz scores across a term, or a monthly sales leaderboard for a team meeting.
