Frequently asked questions
When should I use a stacked area chart instead of separate lines?
When you care about the total as much as the parts, like total revenue split by product. Separate lines are better when you only care about each series on its own.
How many series can I stack?
As many as your data has, though the chart reads most clearly with two to six bands.
Can I switch to a regular (non-stacked) area chart?
Yes, just ask the AI to convert it, or open the area chart maker directly. MakeCharts keeps your data, only the layout changes.
Is the stacked area chart maker free?
Yes, the free plan covers it, including CSV import, AI editing and watermark-free (paid plans) exports.
Your data is ready. Your chart is three steps away.
