FAQ

What is a stacked bar chart?

A stacked bar chart stacks multiple series on the same bar. The total bar height shows the overall value while colored segments show each series, making it great for composition and totals.

How do I use the stacked bar chart tool?

Click Edit/Upload Data to fill in or import data (first column: category name, first row: series names), adjust legend, title and label parameters with real-time preview, then click Download Chart to export.

What data formats does the stacked bar chart support?

You can edit data directly in the table, or upload Excel (.xlsx/.xls) and CSV files. The first column is category names and the remaining columns are series values.

What is the maximum file size for the stacked bar chart?

Data is processed locally in your browser, so there is no strict size limit for most cases; for very large datasets, simplify the data to keep previews smooth.

Is the stacked bar chart generated quickly?

The stacked bar chart renders in real time in your browser - with moderate data volumes you get instant previews and see every parameter change immediately.

Are my data uploaded to a server?

No. All data processing happens locally in your browser and nothing is uploaded, so your privacy is fully protected.

Is the stacked bar chart tool free?

The tool offers a daily free quota that covers light everyday use at zero cost; upgrade to membership for higher limits or heavier use.

Can I use it on mobile or tablet?

Yes. It is a web-based tool with no installation required - it works and exports charts normally in browsers on phones, tablets and computers.

What is the difference between stacked and grouped bar charts?

A stacked bar chart stacks series to highlight composition and totals; a grouped bar chart places series side by side for direct value comparison across series.

Why is my imported data not showing?

Check the data format: first column must be category names, first row series names, and values must be numbers; verify the header row, or click Export Data to inspect the current table format.

How good is the output quality?

Export high-resolution images at 2x or even 4x pixel ratio, and videos at HD quality by default - suitable for reports, printing and publishing.

What are some advanced uses for a stacked bar chart?

Turn on labels to show exact values, fine-tune legend position and grid axes for layout, or export animated videos for dynamic reports.
