Where to use your animated spreadsheet chart
YouTube videos
Revenue growth, user milestones, before-and-after comparisons. Import your data, pick a chart, export 1080p MP4 and drop it into your timeline.
Pitch decks
ARR growth, churn rate, market size — any slide that needs a chart that moves. Export as MP4 and embed directly in PowerPoint or Keynote.
Social media
Monthly stats, campaign results, leaderboard data. Export square or vertical for Reels, TikTok, and Stories.
Reports and newsletters
Quarterly numbers, survey results, trend data. Export as animated GIF or MP4 to embed inline in your report or email.
Any chart type, any data format
Import from Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets. AECharts maps your data to whichever chart type fits.
| Data type | Best chart |
|---|---|
| Monthly revenue or growth | Animated bar or line chart |
| Category breakdown (market share, budget) | Animated pie chart |
| Rankings over time | Bar chart race |
| Flows and conversions | Sankey diagram |
| A single milestone number | Animated number counter |
| Part-to-whole (survey results) | Waffle chart |
Spreadsheet animation without After Effects
After Effects has no native charting. To animate spreadsheet data you need a third-party script or plugin, then write expressions to drive values from an imported CSV. AECharts does all of that in the browser.
