Use cases

Built for the people who actually pull data from charts

Three audiences who otherwise spend hours redrawing or estimating chart values by eye. DataFromChart cuts that to under a minute.

The workflow shift

From "redraw it by eye" to "drop it in"

Researcher
Before

Eyeballed values off a published figure, recreated it in Excel, hoped peer review didn't catch the inaccuracy.

With DataFromChart

Open the screenshot, drop points on the data, calibrate axes from the tick labels. Export CSV with pixel-level precision.

Consultant
Before

Spent the morning redrawing the client's chart in PowerPoint because the underlying spreadsheet was lost three quarters ago.

With DataFromChart

Snap a screenshot of the deck, extract the series in under a minute, paste straight into the new model.

Analyst
Before

Took a ruler to a PDF chart of quarterly EPS, transcribed values by hand, fudged the years that were too close to read.

With DataFromChart

Calibrate axes by dragging reference lines onto the tick labels, then click each data point. Multi-series in one pass. AI auto-extraction is available now — 3 free runs per account, then $5 for 20.

What you can extract

Everything the source chart contains

DataFromChart handles the chart types and axis shapes that actually appear in research papers, decks, and analyst reports.

Scatter, line, bar, column, area

Five chart types covered out of the box. Combo charts work — extract each series separately and merge.

Linear, log, and categorical axes

Log-scale axes are calibrated by entering two reference values — DataFromChart handles the math.

AI auto-extract

Opt in on the upload step and one pass classifies the chart, calibrates the axes, and plots the points. Refine anything, then export.

Multiple series in one pass

Color-tag each series, label them, extract every line on the chart without starting over.

Zoom and pan for precision

Tightly-packed data points need a 4× zoom and a steady hand. The canvas supports both.

CSV, JSON, or clipboard

Export in the format your next tool expects. Or just copy to clipboard and paste into Excel.

Frequently asked

Common questions

Do I need to install anything?

No. DataFromChart runs entirely in the browser. Open a chart, calibrate, export — no install, no plugin.

What chart types are supported?

Scatter, line, bar, column, area, and combinations of those. Linear, log, and categorical axes are all handled.

How accurate is the extraction?

Pixel-level. Accuracy is bounded by the resolution of the source chart and the calibration you provide for the axes.

Can I extract more than one data series at once?

Yes. Each series gets its own color and label, and DataFromChart keeps them separate in the export.
