Graphs are an easy way for you to make data comprehendible to anyone from a statistics geek to your average Joe.Click to tweet<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n Contrary to the belief some people have, creating graphs is extremely simple and, with the help of tools readily available to us, can be done on just a few steps. What those steps are and which tools you should be using for your graph creating efforts is exactly what we\u2019ll be discussing in this article. So if you are interested, keep on reading.<\/p>\n Like we said earlier, graphs are visual representations of data, which means in order to create a graph, you will first need some data that you want to represent visually. To make sure your graph will be an accurate one, the data you feed into a graph creating tool has to come from a reliable source and also be free of any errors which is easily achievable if scrapped with a tool like ScraperBox<\/a>. Depending on the tool you are using, you will be able to import the data in a number of formats and methods such as Excel files, CSV files, Google sheets, and of course, manually.<\/p>\n Without this step, or more specifically without a chart creating tool<\/a>, this whole process wouldn\u2019t be possible. While most of us do have Excel on our PCs and could use that to create graphs, in all honesty, Excel is not really a popular option or one that is very rich with customization features. For this reason, most people will opt for using online tools instead, and so should you. To make the decision-making process easier for you, we will now do a quick rundown of some of the best online tools for creating graphs. We\u2019re sure that at least one of the options we will present you with, will pique your interest. Check out Creative Fabrica to obtain incredible\u00a0infographic templates<\/a>!<\/p>\n Infogram<\/a> is an online tool for creating not only classic and interactive graphs but also infographics, dashboards, reports, maps, and social media graphics.

Infogram enables you to input your data in multiple ways, which include Google sheets and JSON files. You can get Infogram in 3 different versions, the free version, or one of the two paid-for ones. The free version comes with 30 graph types but is a bit restricted, while the paid-for ones come with an icon library, over 200 maps, a private sharing feature, the possibility to download your work in a number of different formats, and so much more.<\/p>\n A completely free graph-creating tool that will provide you with all the essential features you might need. Using the Online Chart Tool<\/a>, you can create different types of graphs such as line charts, bubble charts, pie charts, radar plots, and a few other types as well.

Regarding customization options, this tool will allow you to choose a chart style and a font and label type as well. Online Chart Tool, despite being free, won\u2019t stop you from sharing or downloading your graphs, you will be able to do that in 4 different formats.

Available graph types range from pie charts and stack charts to Excel and CSV charts, plus a few other ones as well. All-in-all, it\u2019s safe to say that ChartGo is a very practical and straight-to-the-point tool.<\/p>\n Plotly<\/a> is definitely a more advanced graph creating tool than the other ones we mentioned thus far, largely thanks to its huge library, documentation, and tutorials available for every graph type. Using Plotly you can create 20 different graph types, which include 3D graphs, statistical graphs, and SVG maps. Each graph type is extremely customizable, with a ton of options you are free to tweak. Although Plotly gives you a lot of flexibility, in turn, it requires overcoming quite a learning curve.
