The usual path from spreadsheet to chart image: select range → insert chart → restyle for 10 minutes → screenshot → crop. Here's the version that takes 20 seconds.
Step 1: Copy your data
In Excel or Google Sheets, select the label column and the value column (headers are fine — they'll be ignored or become your title). Copy with Ctrl/Cmd+C. Tabs in the clipboard are detected automatically.
Step 2: Paste into the CSV to chart tool
Open the CSV to Chart converter and paste. Comma CSV, TSV and semicolon formats are all auto-detected. The parser:
- skips non-numeric header rows gracefully,
- takes the first text column as labels and the first numeric column as values,
- handles quotes, currency symbols, percentages and both decimal styles (1,234.56 and 1.234,56).
Step 3: Verify in the editable table
Everything the parser found appears in an editable table. Rename labels, correct values — the chart redraws on every keystroke. This is where 30 seconds of checking saves a wrong chart in a deck.
Step 4: Choose type, download
Comparison → bar. Time series → line. Shares → pie. Add a title, pick a palette, download the 2× PNG. Done.
Things that trip people up
My file is .csv on disk, not in a sheet
Open it in any text editor, select all, paste. Same result.
Multiple numeric columns?
The first numeric column is charted. For the others, paste just that column pair — or run the tool once per series.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Parsing and rendering are pure browser JavaScript — your spreadsheet data stays on your machine.
