FAQ
FAQs
How do I convert Google Sheets to a line chart?
Copy two columns—Name and Value—from Google Sheets, paste them here, and you’ll see a line chart instantly. You can also upload a CSV (Pro). Then use AI to style smoothing, dots, color, and legend.
Can I make a line graph directly from Google Sheets data?
Yes. Paste the cells or import a CSV export. The tool maps the first column to labels and the second to values, so your Google Sheets to line chart workflow takes seconds.
What’s the difference between linear and smooth (monotone) lines?
Linear connects points with straight segments; smooth (monotone) eases curves to highlight gradual trends. Use smooth for noisy data and linear for precise step‑like changes.
How do I show or hide dots on the line?
Toggle dots in Display Settings. Dots help highlight exact points; turning them off creates a cleaner trend view.
Where can I place the legend?
Choose top, left, right, or bottom. Pick the position with the best readability and least overlap with the line.
Can I customize line color, pattern, and width?
Yes. Set a brand‑matched color, choose a stroke pattern—solid, dotted, dashed, or dash‑dot—and adjust stroke width for clarity.
Does this support “line chart from Google Sheets” links or live sync?
You can paste or upload data from Google Sheets. Live sync isn’t required—update and re‑paste when your sheet changes.
How do I export or embed my line chart?
Download PNG or SVG for crisp output, share a link, or embed on your website. Exports are optimized for slides and docs.
Is the tool free to use?
Yes. Creating, customizing, and downloading is free. Pro adds file uploads, AI upgrades, and faster workflows.
