Free online area chart maker

ExcelInsight is a free area chart maker. Combine a date column and one or more numeric columns to draw filled, multi-series area charts that highlight the magnitude of a trend, not just its direction.

Area vs line — when to pick which

Lines are best for comparing trends; areas are best for showing the absolute size of those trends. Use an area chart when the volume under the curve is itself meaningful — total revenue accumulated, cumulative signups, total downloads.

Switch types in one click

Every ExcelInsight chart has a type switcher. Build a chart as a line first, then flip it to an area chart to see which reads better — no re-uploading, no rebinding columns.

Try it with your own file

No signup, no upload to a server. Open ExcelInsight, drop your Excel or CSV file, and get a dashboard in seconds.
