Supported charts

What charts can you extract?

Five chart types, on every common axis kind. Drop in a screenshot, opt into AI auto-extract, and DataFromChart places the data — pausing for a quick review whenever it isn't fully sure. Or plot points by hand.

Chart types

Five marks, out of the box

Combinations work too — extract each series separately and merge.

Scatter

Points on two numeric axes — including dense, overlapping clouds.

Line

One or more connected curves, traced point-by-point along each line.

Area

Filled curves — a single area or several stacked bands.

Column

Vertical bars — single, grouped side-by-side, or stacked.

Bar

Horizontal bars — single, grouped, or stacked.

Any common axis

Linear, log₁₀, date/time, and categorical axes — calibrated from the tick labels, so values come out pixel-precise.

Single, grouped, or stacked

Up to 10 series in one chart, in any arrangement — overlaid, grouped side-by-side, or stacked into bands.

What to expect

Best results, and the honest edges

Works great

Clean digital charts (exports, dashboards, slides)
Distinct series colours
Readable axis tick labels
Up to 10 data series in one chart
Linear, log₁₀, date, and categorical axes
Single, grouped, and stacked arrangements

Worth a quick review

We still extract these — and flag them so you can double-check before exporting.

Very dense or heavily-overlapping scatter clouds
Many bands/series in near-identical or gradient colours
Low-resolution, blurry, or heavily-compressed screenshots
Tiny, rotated, or single-letter axis labels

Not yet

Pie & donut charts
Radar / spider charts
Sankey & flow diagrams
Treemaps & heatmaps
Bubble charts (size = a third value)
3-D charts
