About this tool

Charts that feel scribbled on a whiteboard — but with honest numbers behind the shaky strokes. Paste labels and values straight into the grid, and roughViz renders bars, horizontal bars, pies and donuts with jittered hand-drawn lines you can restyle or export as editable SVGs for talks, docs and mockups.

Docs

Create hand-drawn bar, pie, donut, and horizontal bar charts from 2 to 12 rows of data, then export crisp SVGs for slides, docs, or websites.

Compared with traditional chart tools, this page is better for communicating ideas, trends, and structure instead of strict numeric precision. It is especially useful for brainstorming, teaching, proposal drafts, and early-stage presentations.

How to read this chart

The strokes are deliberately wobbly, but bar heights and pie angles still follow the real proportions — do not discount the numbers because of the sketch style. Read pies and donuts by angle, bars by height. For informal demos keep the jitter; for stricter reports, reduce the roughness so the proportions read more cleanly.

FAQ

What chart types?

4 types: bar, horizontal bar, pie, donut. Enter 2-12 rows.

Can charts be exported?

Yes. One-click SVG export for docs, web, presentations.

Is this tool suitable for long text or batch text processing?

Yes. Text tools here are designed for quick cleanup, conversion, sorting, and formatting. For anything from a few lines to large pasted blocks, start with a test run and then split into batches if needed.

Will my text content be uploaded to a server?

Standard text tools default to browser-side processing, which is better for drafts, private text, and temporary data. If any feature depends on an AI model, the page copy will say so clearly.

Is this tool useful for students, writers, or developers?

Yes. Students often use it for note cleanup, writers use it for draft cleanup and rewriting prep, and developers use it for formatting, encoding, and structured text workflows.

Can I use this tool on mobile phones or tablets?

Most tools work in modern mobile browsers, but complex charts, larger files, and precision drag-and-drop tasks usually feel better on desktop. If speed and control matter, desktop is the safer choice.

Is this tool better for one-off tasks or recurring workflows?

It is strongest for fast one-off tasks, quick verification, and temporary exports. If you need long-term automation, team collaboration, or deeper integration, you will usually pair it with desktop software, scripts, or a larger system.

How can I get a better result on the first try?

Start with the built-in example or with the smallest realistic sample you have. Once the format, layout, and export look right, switch to the full dataset or final asset. This is usually the fastest way to catch formatting issues early.
