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.

Use cases

Finance models where only the summary tab should become a graphic.
Marketing cohort tables that update weekly - you re-download CSV when numbers freeze.
Shared drives where Sheets access is wide but blog CMS access is narrow.

Markdown for a Notion page fed from Sheets

Import Sheet CSV

Adjust fields and copy URL, HTML, Markdown, or an AI prompt. See the [URL parameters](/docs/url-parameters) reference if you are editing links by hand.

Paste CSV

First column becomes labels; remaining columns become series (header row used for names).

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.
