A specialist for social chart videos
ChartGlow, Flourish or Canva?
Start with what you want to publish. ChartGlow is dedicated to exporting animated charts as MP4 videos for social networks, with the formats and controls that help your data story work on a small screen.
Flourish: interactive data stories
Flourish focuses on interactive charts, maps and stories you can publish and embed. It also offers MP4 story export as a premium feature. ChartGlow puts downloadable social chart videos at the center of the workflow.
Canva: a broader design suite
Canva spans social posts, presentations, graphics and video. ChartGlow is a much more specialized choice for animated chart videos: its editor centers on changing data, series, race timing and MP4 export.

A chart video for every screen.
Choose the shape your audience will watch. The same chart can become a portrait story, a feed post or a video for the big screen.
Portrait for Reels and Shorts
Give your story a full-screen 9:16 canvas. Keep titles, names and values inside the social safe zones, away from app buttons and captions.
Square for the feed
Choose 1:1 for a compact comparison, or 4:5 for more space in a mobile feed. Use a focused title and a small set of series that stay easy to follow.
Landscape for a bigger picture
Use 16:9 for a presentation or a landscape video. Give longer labels and broader comparisons room to breathe, then download a video you can play without the editor.
Make the change impossible to miss.
Who took the lead? Which country caught up? When did two companies pull apart? A good chart video starts with one clear question. Keep the comparison focused and give viewers enough time to see what changes.
Use a bar chart race to follow a moving ranking, or a line chart race to reveal a trend. Add a short title, meaningful colors and flags or images that help people recognize each series.
Your idea. Your data. Your style.
Start with a prompt and review the AI draft and its sources, upload a spreadsheet you trust, or adapt a complete free project. Choose a theme, adjust labels and timing, and preview the full animation before exporting.
Video chart maker FAQ
What is a video chart maker?
A video chart maker turns data into an animated chart you can download and share. Instead of asking someone to study a static table, you can show a ranking change, a growing gap or a long-term trend as it unfolds.
Can I make chart videos for free?
Yes. A free ChartGlow account includes monthly AI credits, up to 5 saved charts and MP4 or GIF exports with a ChartGlow watermark. You can start from a prompt, your own data or a free project. No credit card is required. Paid plans offer watermark-free exports and more room to create.
Can I turn a CSV or Excel spreadsheet into a video?
Yes. Upload your CSV or Excel file, review the imported data and choose your chart type in the editor. For a comparison over time, include an entity name, a date or period, and a numeric value in a consistent unit. You can also import from Google Sheets.
Can I create and download a chart video on my phone?
Yes. ChartGlow works in your mobile browser. Edit the title, colors, images and timing, preview the animation and export the video. Download the file, then share it through Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or another app. A short preview helps you check readability on a small screen.
Which chart types can I use in a video?
Choose Bar for changing rankings, Line for trends, Versus for a focused duel, Bubble for changing magnitudes, Treemap for parts of a whole, Stacked for changing contributions, or Spiral for repeating cycles. The best choice depends on the question your data can answer.
How do I export an animated chart as MP4?
Open Export in the editor, choose your video settings and export MP4. You can also export GIF. Play the downloaded file before publishing to check the pace, labels and ending. Free exports carry the ChartGlow watermark; paid plans can remove it.
