A bar graph compares quantities across categories using the lengths of bars. Use a bar graph to compare sales channels, survey choices, or inventory counts. Categories do not have to be parts of a whole.
How to make a bar graph
Describe your data
List each category and its number, and name the unit. Keep the same unit for all bars in a series.
Generate and review
Check labels, values, and the axis scale. Start nonnegative bars at zero so their lengths show honest comparisons. Sort by value when ranking matters.
Download your chart
Save SVG for scalable documents or PNG for slides. Change the prompt and generate again to revise the chart.

Frequently asked questions
What data should I include?
Give a category name and a numeric value for each bar, plus a title and unit such as dollars, votes, or orders.
What is the difference between a bar graph and a histogram?
A bar graph compares named categories. A histogram groups numeric observations into intervals to show a distribution; this page creates category bar graphs.
Should the vertical axis start at zero?
For nonnegative values, yes. Bar length encodes quantity, so cutting off the baseline can exaggerate differences.
Is it free, and can I download the result?
Yes. Generate without signup, subject to daily fair-use limits. Download SVG or PNG with no watermark.
