Motion holds attention
A bar chart that builds itself is watched. A static screenshot is scrolled past. On LinkedIn and TikTok, native video consistently outperforms image posts for reach and engagement.
Plays anywhere a video plays
MP4 works in PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok. One export covers every destination — you do not need separate outputs for different platforms.
No video editor required
Video editors like Filmora or Premiere require you to build animations manually using keyframes or motion templates. AECharts generates the animation from your data. You skip the editing step entirely.
How to make a chart video
- 1
Import your data
Upload a CSV or Excel file, or paste a Google Sheets URL. AECharts reads the data and maps it to the chart automatically. For most chart types, a two-column spreadsheet is enough to start.
- 2
Customize the chart
Pick a template and adjust colors, fonts, title, and animation speed to match your brand. Brand Kit accounts apply your palette and font automatically to every chart.

Export as MP4
Click export and download a 1080p MP4 at 60fps. Or export transparent WebM to overlay the chart on video footage, or PNG for a static image.
Where to use chart videos
YouTube and YouTube Shorts
Export 16:9 MP4 for standard YouTube videos, or 9:16 for Shorts. Bar race charts and line race charts perform particularly well — rankings shifting over time give viewers a reason to keep watching.
Native video gets more reach than image posts on LinkedIn. A 15-second animated bar chart showing quarterly revenue or market share lands better than a screenshot. Export 1:1 or 16:9.
TikTok and Instagram Reels
Export 9:16 for vertical short-form. Motion stops the scroll. Animated number reveals and bar chart builds are the fastest formats to produce and among the most shared data content.
PowerPoint and Keynote
Insert the MP4 directly into a slide via Insert → Video. Set autoplay. The chart plays as a video during your presentation — no broken GIFs, no screen recording.
Google Slides
Upload the MP4 to Google Drive, then insert as a video into your slide. The animation plays inline during a presentation.
Video production overlays
Export transparent WebM to composite the chart over existing footage in Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut. No background, no green screen — chart elements only.
Chart types
Every chart type animates and exports as MP4.
Columns build up from a baseline, one by one or simultaneously. Clean, readable, and works for any comparison — revenue by region, scores by category, survey results.
A line traces itself left to right, showing trend over time. Best when the direction of change matters as much as the end value.
Slices sweep in segment by segment to build the full circle. Good for part-to-whole data with 3–6 categories.
Bars reorder as rankings change across time periods. One of the highest-engagement chart formats on social media — works for anything with a ranking that evolves over time.
A single metric counts up from zero to its value. Useful for opening a video segment with a key stat or highlighting a milestone in a presentation.
Shows how an initial value builds or erodes through a series of changes. Standard for P&L breakdowns, bridge charts, and variance analysis.
