A chart maker turns a table of numbers into a clear, good-looking chart without you drawing it by hand. With Dashboard Builder’s free chart maker, you upload your data and AI does the work: it picks the chart types, labels and colors, and you can change anything you like before you download or share it.

How to Make a Chart in 4 Steps

1

Upload your data. Open the free AI Dashboard Generator and upload an Excel, CSV or PDF file with a table in it. No sign-up needed.

2

Let AI make the charts, or ask for one. In Auto mode, the AI builds a complete dashboard with 4 KPI cards and 6 charts. In Chat mode, type what you want, such as “Generate a pie chart to show age and income”.

3

Customize it. Change the chart type, colors, titles and labels until it looks right.

4

Download or share. Save it as an image, share a link, or generate code to embed it on your website. To keep editing later, sign up and save it to your control panel.

20+ Chart Types

Make bar, line, pie, donut, area, scatter, bubble, stacked bar, gauge, heatmap and map charts, plus KPI cards for single numbers. Not sure which to pick? Use a line chart for trends over time, a bar chart to compare categories, a pie or donut chart for parts of a whole (up to about 5 slices), and a scatter chart to show how two values relate.
