Datawrapper

Datawrapper is a web app for designing charts, maps and tables for publication. It is built for people who need clear visuals quickly and want them to look right on a website, in a presentation or in print.

You build a visual step by step in the editor, choosing a chart type, adding your data and then adjusting labels, colours and layout. Labels, legends and axes are set up to avoid overlap, and the default colours are chosen with accessibility in mind. Finished visuals can be embedded in a web page or exported for slides and print, so one chart can serve several places.

• Step by step editor for charts, maps and tables
• Brand themes for fonts, colours and layout
• Embed visuals on websites and blogs
• Export for PowerPoint and print use
• Try the editor without creating an account

Journalists, newsroom teams, researchers and designers who publish data visuals and need them to be readable without custom code. It is also useful for communications staff who make charts for reports.

You can try the tool without an account, and there is a free option alongside paid plans for more features and team use. Visuals are made in the browser, so you need a modern web browser and an internet connection to work on them. Check the pricing page for the current limits on each plan before you commit to a team setup.
