What is RAWGraphs?

RAWGraphs lets you paste spreadsheet data and map it to more than 30 chart types, including alluvial diagrams, beeswarms, treemaps and sunbursts. It is free and open source, runs in your browser without uploading your data to a server, and exports SVG files you can polish further in a design app.

Pros: what RAWGraphs does well

  • Chart types other tools lack
  • Data stays in your browser
  • Clean SVG export

Cons: where it falls short

  • No hosting or embedding
  • Needs tidy data to start

Who RAWGraphs is for

Designers and researchers who want distinctive charts to refine in a vector editor.

Who can skip it

People who need interactive, embeddable charts.
