Chart Video Maker Features
EchoWave's chart video tools are used by marketers, data analysts, and educators worldwide.
Animated charts
Turn raw numbers into animated chart videos
EchoWave is a chart video maker that turns a table of numbers into animated charts you can drop straight onto your timeline. Pick from 10 chart types, including column, bar, line, area, pie, donut, and an animated bar chart race, then style everything with 12 themes and 8 curated color palettes. Type or paste your data from Excel or Google Sheets, choose an entrance animation, and watch values count up on screen. Because charts are real timeline segments, you can layer them over footage, add text, sync them to a music visualizer, and trim their duration. What you preview is exactly what renders on export.

What you get
Everything you need to animate a chart
Build the chart, animate it, and style it to match your brand, all on the timeline.
-
10 chart types
Choose column, bar, line, area, pie, donut, radial rings, progress meters, KPI stat counters, or an animated bar chart race. Bars and columns can be grouped or stacked, and lines can be smooth or straight.
-
Entrance and exit animations
Animate charts on with grow, draw-on, rise, fade, sweep, wipe, or pop, then set the duration, per-element stagger, and one of 5 easing curves. Optional exit animations play the sequence back out.
-
Count-up number labels
Number labels count up as the chart animates, so each value ticks from zero to its final figure in time with the bars. It reads as live motion rather than a static caption sitting on the frame.
-
Animated bar chart race
Values and rankings interpolate smoothly between periods, so bars overtake each other in a fluid motion as the data changes. The pacing adapts to the length of your clip so the race stays readable.
-
Spreadsheet-style data grid
Type or edit values in a grid, paste a table from Excel or Google Sheets as TSV or CSV, or upload a CSV file. Transpose rows and columns, or start from one of the built-in sample datasets.
-
12 themes and 8 palettes
Style charts with 12 design themes and 8 curated color palettes checked with a color-vision-deficiency validator, so they stay readable for colorblind viewers. Set custom per-series colors, titles, subtitles, and fonts.
-
Real timeline segments
Charts are layers in the editor, not exports from another app. Stack them over video, resize and position them, combine them with text, music and subtitles, and trim their duration.
-
Transparent or styled backgrounds
Pick a transparent, solid, gradient, or card background. A transparent chart overlays your footage directly, while a card background gives a KPI counter or stat row a clean, contained frame.
How it works
How to make a chart video
Going from data to a finished animated chart takes four steps, all in your browser.

-
Pick a chart type
Choose from 10 chart types, from grouped or stacked bars to line, area, pie, donut, radial rings, or an animated bar chart race. The preview updates the moment you switch types.
-
Style and animate it
Apply one of 12 themes and 8 color palettes, set custom colors and fonts, then choose an entrance animation with its duration, per-element stagger, and easing curve.
-
Add it to your video and export
Drop the chart onto the timeline, layer it over footage, and trim its duration. Export HD video in the browser, where what you previewed is exactly what renders.

Chart Video Maker FAQ
How do I make a chart video?
Open EchoWave's chart tool, then add your data by typing it into the grid, pasting a table from Excel or Google Sheets, or uploading a CSV file. Pick one of 10 chart types, apply a theme and color palette, and choose an entrance animation with its duration and easing. Drop the chart onto the timeline, layer it over any footage, trim its duration, and export HD video in your browser. What you see in the preview is exactly what renders on export.
What chart types can I animate?
EchoWave includes 10 chart types: column, bar, line, area, pie, donut, radial rings, progress meters, KPI stat counters, and an animated bar chart race. Bars and columns can be grouped or stacked, lines can be smooth or straight, and a donut chart can show a running total in the center. Every type supports entrance animations, count-up number labels, and optional exit animations.
What is a bar chart race?
A bar chart race is an animated ranking chart where bars grow, shrink, and swap places as the underlying values change over time. In EchoWave, the values and rankings interpolate smoothly between periods, so one bar overtakes another in a fluid motion rather than a hard jump. The pacing adapts to the length of your clip, so a longer segment plays out at a slower, more readable speed.
Can I import data from Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. You can paste data straight from Excel or Google Sheets as TSV or CSV and it lands in the spreadsheet-style grid, or you can upload a CSV file. You can also type and edit values directly, transpose the rows and columns when they are the wrong way round, or start from one of the built-in sample datasets to see how a chart is structured.
Are the color palettes colorblind-friendly?
The 8 curated color palettes were checked with a color-vision-deficiency validator, so they stay distinguishable for colorblind viewers by default. You get 12 design themes on top of those palettes, and you can still set custom per-series colors when a brand needs exact shades. Titles, subtitles, and fonts are all adjustable so the chart matches the rest of your video.
Can I put a chart over my video footage?
Yes. Charts are real timeline segments, not flat image exports, so you can layer one over your footage, resize and position it in the frame, and trim how long it stays on screen. Set the chart background to transparent and it overlays your video directly. You can combine the chart with text, music, and subtitles in the same project.
Will the exported video match the editor preview?
Yes. EchoWave runs the same rendering engine in the browser and on the render servers, so what you see in the editor preview is exactly what comes out of the export. There is no separate render path that shifts fonts, spacing, or animation timing, which means you can trust the preview while you fine-tune the chart.
Can I make a dedicated video for a specific chart type?
Yes. Alongside this all-in-one chart video maker, EchoWave has focused pages for the formats people search for most. Use the bar chart race maker for animated rankings over time, the animated bar chart maker for grouped and stacked bars, the animated pie chart maker for pie and donut charts, the animated line graph maker for trends, and the number counter animation for count-up stats and radial rings. For a mixed data story with charts, text, and music, see the infographic video maker.
Is the chart video maker free?
Yes, you can build and preview animated chart videos for free with EchoWave's standard plans, right in your browser with no software to install. Free exports include a small EchoWave watermark, which upgrading to a paid plan removes. There is no credit card needed to start, and you can try every chart type before you decide to upgrade.
