Does ChartKit connect to my Google account?

No OAuth here - only pasted CSV text.

Can I automate refresh?

Use scripts you control to POST/GET ChartKit; this page is manual.

See [charts for email](/charts-for-email) - PNG often wins.

Public chart generation is available for trials.

Google Sheets chart generator

Sheets is the source of truth; ChartKit is the lightweight image host. Export a comma-separated slice, paste below, apply, copy embeds.

Sheets → CSV → ChartKit

In Google Sheets, select the table - including header row - then File → Download → Comma Separated Values (.csv). Open the file, copy text, paste into ChartKit’s CSV box.

Live spreadsheet links are not fetched automatically; you control exactly which rows ship publicly.

Alternatives: table to chart for other sources, CSV to chart for the same importer with CSV-first wording.

CSV headers become chart labels and numeric columns become series — then copy URL, HTML, or Markdown.

Use cases

Use case 1

Finance models where only the summary tab should become a graphic.

Use case 2

Marketing cohort tables that update weekly - you re-download CSV when numbers freeze.

Use case 3

Shared drives where Sheets access is wide but blog CMS access is narrow.

Your data stays private

Heuristic parsing and the live preview run locally in your browser. We do not save or sell uploaded files.

PNG download and shareable chart URLs send chart values to our servers (routine request logs only — not stored).

How it works

Freeze numbers (paste values) if formulas should not leak business logic.

Keep thousands separators consistent - European decimals may need find/replace.

Prefer PNG if your downstream tool mishandles SVG from Sheets-heavy teams on Windows.

Use with ChatGPT or Claude

Apps Script can concatenate CSV strings; an LLM can format them into ChartKit URLs.

Pair with chart from prompt when analysts talk to Claude inside Workspace add-ons.
