Line Chart vs Area Chart: Which Should You Choose?

Both line charts and area charts effectively show trends over time, but each has unique strengths. Here's how to choose the right one for your animated chart video:

Line Charts

Multiple overlapping trends, precise data point emphasis, and when you need to compare several metrics simultaneously

Visual weight:

You have multiple data series to compare, need to show precise values, or want a professional, uncluttered look

Area Charts

Visual weight:

Bold, attention-grabbing appearance that emphasizes the scale of change and cumulative values

Use when:

You want to emphasize total growth, show cumulative data, or need strong visual impact for social media
