39 chart formats to make a video with

Every format starts from a finished example you can change. Formats marked Pro can be opened and previewed by anyone; exporting one needs Pro or a credit.

Rank and compare

Who is on top, this against that, how a whole is split up.

  • Bars 3DProA ranking as solid 3D columns on a plinth, rising one by one from the smallest to the winner while the camera swings down low and cranes up; the winner's lead is drawn as a measuring line.
  • Bubble packPacked circles sized by area.
  • City 3DProA grid of two categories (hours × days, regions × years) as a city of columns you fly over, rising row by row; the peak rises last and is lit.
  • Diverging barsBars growing left and right from a zero axis, gainers and losers coloured apart.
  • DonutA share-of-total ring that builds slice by slice, then pulls the key slice out.
  • Dot plotOne precise point per item on a shared axis.
  • Flows 3DProGlowing arcs over a 3D globe, one for each flow of money, people or goods from one country to another, the biggest drawn last; a scoreboard keeps every figure on screen.
  • Globe 3DProA globe that flies in from space and turns to each country in turn, tracing the route, as a beam of light rises to its value; a scoreboard fills from the bottom up and keeps every figure on screen.
  • LeaderboardAn auto-scrolling countdown through a long ranked list.
  • PictogramAn icon array showing a value out of a total.
  • PodiumA top-three, medal-style ranking.
  • RadarOne to three overlaid polygons across three to eight attributes.
  • Ranked barsHorizontal bars sorted by final value.
  • Stack 3DProHuge amounts made countable: each is a stack of unit blocks that drop onto a plinth layer by layer, smallest first, beside a ghost stack of something familiar.
  • Stacked barsComposition across categories, optionally as 100% stacks.
  • TreemapRectangles sized by share of the total — as a snapshot, a before-and-after morph, a two-level sector map or a zoom into one tile.
  • WaffleA 100-square grid split across up to six groups.
  • World mapProA dot-matrix world map: circle size and a flag mark each country's value, and the camera follows the narration from country to country.

Change over time

Lines, areas and bar chart races for numbers that moved.

  • AreaA filled trend, optionally stacked or shown as shares of 100%.
  • Bar raceProHorizontal bars reordering as values change across frames.
  • FunnelA true-width drop-off funnel: a stream of dots spills out at every step, a live counter falls stage by stage, and the leakiest step cracks open at the end.
  • HistogramFrequency bars across bins.
  • LineAn animated line reveal for one or more series.
  • Matrix heatmapA grid coloured by value: a matrix, a calendar, a before/after pair, or warming-style stripes.
  • PyramidBack-to-back bars by cohort, read as a shape.
  • Race 3DProA ranking over time played as 3D columns on a stage: a climber slides forward and passes, the leader wears a crown, and the period ticks over until the final standings land.
  • Ribbon 3DProOne to four series over time drawn as solid ribbons, one behind another, while the camera rides alongside the newest year and pulls back as the lines land.
  • ScatterPoints revealed against two axes, with an optional fitted trendline, the gap to it for the story point, and a refit without that point.
  • SlopeA two-point before-and-after comparison per item.
  • TimelineMilestones landing along a rail, spaced by elapsed time.
  • WaterfallStart, contributions, end: each step peels off a running total, and the payoff brackets how far the end landed from the start.

One number, a reveal or a quiz

A single striking figure, a countdown or a guess-first question.

  • Big numberOne enormous count-up figure that lands with a flourish, with a line of context and an optional scale against a comparison.
  • Country profileProOne country in five numbers: its people and land on its own outline on the world map, then income, life expectancy and internet use as cards, ending on a recap.
  • Odds grid“1 in N” drawn as a dot grid with exactly one lit cell.
  • Quiz revealProA question, a draining countdown ring, then the answer, struck out option by option.
  • Stat cardsThree to seven fact cards sliding through with a progress row.
  • TickerOdometer counters ticking at real-world rates, with every event drawn as a dot.
  • Tier listS/A/B/C/D rows, with items thrown in from an unranked tray.
  • VersusA head-to-head duel: two numbers counting up against each other on a tug-of-war bar, a crown for the winner on the verdict.

Questions about making a stat video

What can I make with it? Short animated videos from your own numbers, shaped 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok: ranked bars, bar chart races, lines over time, donuts, maps, head-to-head comparisons, big single numbers and more. There are 39 chart formats, each one described on its own page.

How do I turn a spreadsheet or CSV into a video? Copy the rows from Excel or Google Sheets, or from a CSV file, and paste them into the Data step. The maker picks a chart that fits them. Years down the first column become a line chart, with one line for each column of numbers. The first line names the columns, for example Country,Population.

Can I make a bar chart race? Yes. The Bar race format shows bars reordering as values change from one period to the next. Anyone can open it and preview it with its example, then replace the numbers; exporting it needs Pro or a credit. See pricing.

Is it free? You can start without an account: 2 exports a day with a small watermark, on 28 of the 39 chart formats. A free account adds 10 exports a month, AI drafts and voice-over. Pro and credits remove the watermark and unlock every format. See pricing.

Where can I get the numbers? Type them in, paste them from a spreadsheet, or search published figures from the World Bank, or paste a chart link from Our World in Data. Keep the credit the maker shows when you share the reel.

Can it add a voice-over? Yes. With an account you can have an AI voice read your script, or record your own voice. The chart is timed to the voice, so each number lands as it is said. The Voice step is optional; without it the reel plays with music and sound effects.

Do I need to install anything? No. It runs in your browser, and your reel is kept in that browser as you work. Exporting the video needs a recent Chrome, Edge or Safari (version 17 or later). See how it works for the steps.

Reels you make here are yours, and so are their numbers: NumberReels doesn’t check them, and they aren’t published on this site. Your reel is kept in this browser, and with your account only if you save it there. See the terms and privacy notes.
