Edit your chart like you would text a colleague
No menus to dig through. Describe the change, watch it land on the canvas, undo it if you change your mind.
AI assistant
A full chart editor, not another toy generator
Everything the classic free tools left out, in one place, from CSV import to cloud save.
100% AI chat editing
Rename nodes, recolor flows or restructure the whole chart by typing what you want in plain English. No competitor does this across financial charts the way we do.
CSV import
Bring data straight from Excel or Google Sheets. Each row becomes a flow, a bar or a slice, no retyping.
SVG and PNG export
Download print-sharp SVG for decks and reports, or PNG for docs and posts. Watermark-free on every paid plan.
Cloud save
Your charts live in your account. Close the tab, come back next quarter and pick up where you left off.
120 worked examples
Income statements, hiring funnels, cloud costs — every example opens in the editor with real data you can overwrite.
15 chart types and growing
Sankey, waterfall and treemap lead the pack for financial storytelling, with bar, radar, combo, scatter and more alongside.
15 chart types, one conversational editor
Start from the type that fits your data. The AI chat works the same in all of them.
Built for money flows
The finance sankey is having a moment. These are the three charts people build most.
Income statement sankey
Show how revenue turns into profit the way public companies now present earnings: one green path to net income, costs branching off in red.
Build an income statement sankeyBudget sankey
Map salary and side income into rent, groceries, subscriptions and savings. One picture says more than twelve category rows.
Build a budget sankeyCash flow sankey
Trace every dollar in and out of the business for the month. The widest ribbons tell you where to look first.

Frequently asked questions
The short version of everything people ask before opening the editor.
What is a sankey diagram?
A sankey diagram visualizes flows between stages: money, energy, users. Each ribbon's width is proportional to the amount it carries, so the big movements are obvious at a glance. It is the chart behind the income statement visualizations you see every earnings season.
How do I create a sankey diagram online for free?
Open the MakeCharts editor, add your flows as source, target and amount rows or import a CSV, then adjust colors and labels by chatting with the AI. Export SVG or PNG when you are happy. You can do all of it on the free plan.
Can I import data from CSV or Excel?
Yes. Export your spreadsheet as CSV and import it into the editor. Each row becomes an element of the chart, so there is no manual retyping.
How does the AI editing work?
You describe a change in the chat, like: make all cost nodes red, and the assistant applies it to the chart. You stay in control: every edit is visible, adjustable and undoable.
Is MakeCharts really free?
Yes. The free plan includes the full editor, AI chat, CSV import and 3 saved charts; free exports carry a small watermark. Paid plans remove the watermark and raise the AI limits.
Can I export my chart as SVG or PNG?
Both. SVG is vector, so it stays sharp at any size for slides, reports and print. PNG is handy for docs, emails and social. On paid plans neither carries a watermark.
What chart types can I make besides sankey diagrams?
Bar, line, area, pie, donut, waterfall, treemap and funnel charts, all in the same editor and all editable through the AI chat.
Is my data private?
Your data is stored in your account and used only to render your charts. It is not sold or shared, and deleting a chart deletes its data with it.
