Is ChartGen.ai free to use?

What file formats does ChartGen.ai support?

ChartGen.ai supports CSV files (.csv) and Excel files (.xlsx, .xls). You can also paste data directly into the interface. The AI automatically detects column types, dates, and numeric values to make chart creation seamless.

How does ChartGen.ai compare to Excel charts?

ChartGen.ai is faster and easier than Excel for creating charts. While Excel requires manual chart configuration and formula knowledge, ChartGen.ai uses AI to automatically select the best chart type, configure axes, and apply professional styling. You can create a publication-ready chart in seconds versus minutes with Excel.

How does ChartGen.ai compare to Tableau?

ChartGen.ai is a free, instant alternative to Tableau for simple chart creation. While Tableau is a powerful enterprise BI platform requiring licenses and training, ChartGen.ai offers zero learning curve and instant results. It's perfect for quick visualizations without the complexity of dashboard setup.

Is my data secure when using ChartGen.ai?

Yes, data security is a top priority. Your uploaded files are processed in real-time and are not permanently stored on servers. All data transmission is encrypted using HTTPS, and ChartGen.ai is SOC 2 compliant for enterprise use. Your data is never shared with third parties.

What is the best chart type for comparing data?

Bar charts are the best chart type for comparing values across categories. Use horizontal bar charts when category names are long, and vertical bar charts for time-based comparisons. ChartGen.ai's AI can automatically recommend the best chart type based on your data structure.

What chart should I use to show trends over time?

Line charts are ideal for showing trends over time and continuous data changes. Use area charts if you want to emphasize volume or cumulative totals. ChartGen.ai can create both types and will recommend the best option based on your data.

When should I use a pie chart?

Use pie charts to show part-to-whole relationships when you have 2-5 categories that sum to 100%. Avoid pie charts for more than 7 categories or when comparing similar values. ChartGen.ai will suggest alternatives like bar charts if your data isn't suitable for pie charts.

What is a combo chart and when should I use one?

A combo chart (combination chart) combines two or more chart types in a single visualization, typically bars and lines. Use combo charts when you need to compare metrics with different units or scales (e.g., revenue in dollars vs. growth rate in percentage), show relationships between volume and rate data, or display actual values alongside trends or targets.

How do I create a combo chart with ChartGen.ai?

Creating a combo chart is easy: 1) Upload your data file containing at least two numeric columns, 2) Select 'Combo Chart' from the chart types, 3) Describe what you want (e.g., 'Show sales as bars and profit margin as a line'), and 4) Click Generate. Our AI automatically determines which data series work best as bars vs. lines.

Can I use dual Y-axes in my combo chart?

Yes! Dual Y-axes are automatically enabled when your data series have significantly different value ranges. The left axis typically shows bar values while the right axis shows line values. This ensures both data series are properly scaled and readable on the same chart.

What's the difference between a combo chart and a dual-axis chart?

All dual-axis charts are combo charts, but not all combo charts use dual axes. A combo chart simply combines different chart types (bars + lines). A dual-axis chart specifically has two Y-axes with different scales. ChartGen.ai automatically adds a second axis when your data values have very different ranges.

Can I create combo charts with more than two data series?

Yes! You can include multiple bar series (grouped or stacked) alongside one or more line series. For example, you could show quarterly revenue for three product lines as grouped bars while overlaying the overall profit margin as a line. Just describe what you need in your prompt.

Is ChartGen.ai part of Ada.im?

Yes! ChartGen.ai is a core product capability of Ada.im, an AI-powered data analysis platform. While ChartGen.ai focuses on chart generation, Ada.im offers additional features like data connectors, team collaboration, interactive dashboards, automated reporting, and enterprise-grade security.

What data formats work best for combo charts?

Combo charts work best with data that has one categorical column (for x-axis labels) and multiple numeric columns with different scales or units. For example, a spreadsheet with 'Month', 'Revenue ($)', and 'Growth Rate (%)' is perfect for a combo chart.

How do I customize which series appears as bars vs. lines?

Simply specify in your prompt which data should be bars and which should be lines. For example: 'Display units sold as bars and average price as a line'. The AI interprets your natural language instructions.

How do I handle different scales in combo charts?

ChartGen.ai automatically detects when your data series have different scales and creates dual Y-axes accordingly. You can also specify in your prompt: 'Use separate axes for revenue and percentage' to ensure proper scaling.

Can I export my combo chart?

Yes, you can export your combo chart as a high-quality PNG image. The export includes all visual elements including both axes, legends, and your color customizations. For additional export formats (PDF, Word, PPT) and advanced features, explore Ada.im.
