What is a scatter plot maker?

A scatter plot maker lets you plot two variables on X and Y axes to reveal correlations, clusters, and outliers. AECharts lets you paste data, customize dot colors and size, and export as animated video or static image — useful for research, presentations, and data analysis.

What kind of data works in a scatter plot?

Scatter plots require two numeric values per data point — one for the X axis and one for the Y axis. Examples: revenue vs. headcount by company, test score vs. study hours by student, or ad spend vs. conversions by campaign.

Can I import data from Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Copy your data and paste it directly into the editor. Format: one column for X values, one column for Y values, and optionally a label column. AECharts reads the data and builds the chart automatically.

What export formats are available?

Export as MP4 at 1080p or as a static image. MP4 works in PowerPoint, Google Slides, LinkedIn, and reports. Image export is available on all plans.

Can I show labels on each data point?

Yes. You can enable labels to show the category or name next to each dot. Font size and color are customizable.

What is a scatter plot used for?

Scatter plots reveal relationships between two variables — whether they're correlated, clustered, or scattered randomly. Common uses: comparing company size vs. growth rate, customer spend vs. satisfaction, or any two metrics you want to test for correlation.

What is the difference between a scatter plot and a bubble chart?

A scatter plot shows two variables (X and Y). A bubble chart adds a third variable by varying the size of each dot. Scatter plots are cleaner for showing pure correlation; bubble charts add a third dimension at the cost of some precision.

Do I need design skills?

No. Templates are professionally designed — paste your data and adjust colors if needed. Most users create their first scatter plot in under a minute.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. All features are free with unlimited image exports. Video exports at 1080p require a Pro plan starting at $19/month billed annually. No credit card required to start.

Can I use this in a presentation?

Yes. The MP4 export drops directly into PowerPoint and Google Slides. Scatter plots work well for research summaries, investor data slides, and any presentation where you want to show a relationship rather than just a number.

When to Use a Scatter Plot

Scatter plots are the right tool when you want to show a relationship — or the absence of one — between two numeric variables.

Correlation Analysis

Revenue vs. headcount, ad spend vs. conversions, price vs. demand. Scatter plots make correlations visible at a glance.

Customer Segmentation

Plot customers by spend vs. frequency to identify high-value segments, at-risk accounts, or clusters worth targeting.

Research Findings

Show the distribution of data points across two measured variables. Scatter plots are standard in academic and research presentations.

Competitive Benchmarking

Plot companies by market share vs. growth rate. Instantly see who is growing fast, who is large but slow, and who is both.

Sales Performance

Rep activity (calls made) vs. output (deals closed). Identify top performers and outliers without a wall of numbers.

Outlier Detection

Unusual data points stand out immediately. Scatter plots surface anomalies that tables and averages hide.

Scatter Plot vs Line Chart

Both use X and Y axes — but they answer different questions.

Scatter Plot

Best for: Showing relationships between two independent numeric variables.

Strength: Reveals correlation, clustering, and outliers that aggregated data hides.

Use when: Both axes are measurements — revenue vs. headcount, spend vs. ROI.

Line Chart

Best for: Showing change over time for one or more metrics.

Strength: The connected line emphasizes trend — rising, falling, or stable.

Use when: The X axis is time — months, quarters, or years.

AECharts supports both. Switch between scatter and line to find the right format for your data.
