5 Best Free Online Data Visualization Tools

In this article, you will know about 5 best free online visualization tools. You may visualize and analyze data in the form of mathematical graphs and charts by using these free web services. These web services allow you to manually enter dataset or import local spreadsheets and plot data series on the graph. You get columns, bar, line, area, scatter, pie, donut, histogram, 3D scatter, 3D line, 3D mesh, 3D surface, cone, steamtube, candlestick, OHLC, etc. There are many more graphs for the data visualization which you can explore by using these online data visualization tools. You may customize appearance of output graph and export graph as scalar image, vector image, etc. Plus, you can generate an embed code for final graph.

Let us see what are these free online data visualization tools:

ChartBlocks:

Here is a list of the graphs offered in it: Contour Plot, Convex Hull, Hexagonal Binning, Scatter Plot, Voronoi Tessellation, Beeswarm Plot, Box Plot, Circular Dendrogram, Cluster Dendrogram, Circle Packing, Sunburst, Treemap, Alluvial diagram, Parallel coordinate, Bar Chart, Pie Chart, Gantt Chart, Area Graph, Bump Chart, Horizon Graph, StreamGraph.

You may choose any of these graphs based on your requirements and after that, drag X axis, Y-axis, label, etc. dimensions for mapping. It allows you to customize visualization like width, height, series order, color scale, etc. You may download graph in the form of SVG, PNG, Data Model (JSON) file formats.

Statpedia:

Statpedia is a free online data visualization tool. You may manually enter data in it and visualize data using graphs like bar, pie, line, scatter, etc. It allows you to customize graph styling, text, map type, map codes. You can share link of graph or generate an embed code for the same.

Plotly:

Plotly is another free online data visualization tool. It allows you to plot manually entered data or imported CSV or Excel files. You may also enter a file from URL or use an example provided in it. You may then choose a graph, choose data to plot, and visualize the graph. You may analyze data using tools like curve fitting and moving average. It allows you to customize graph’s axes, legend, annotation, images, shapes, etc. and save a public link for the graph and then export it as an image or HTML file. It doesn’t allow you to save private link of graph on the account in free version.

It contains a lot of graph for data visualization. These are divided in following categories:

  • Simple: Scatter, bar, line, area, heatmap, table, contour, pie.
  • Distribution: Box, violin, histogram, 2D histogram, 2D contour histogram.
  • 3D: 3D scatter, 3D line, 3D mesh, 3D surface, cone, steamtube.
  • Maps: Choropleth, satellite map, atlas map.
  • Finance: Candlestick, OHLC.
  • Specialized: Polar scatter, polar bar, ternary scatter.

Vizzlo:

Vizzlo is a free online data visualizer tool. You may visualize manually entered data and local spreadsheet files. It allows you to analyze data in form of graphs such as timeline chart, project phase chart, Gantt chart, waterfall chart, organizational chart, dot plot chart, grouped bar chart, pie chart, SWOT analysis, donut chart, word cloud, hourglass, Venn diagram, and many more charts. You may customize the appearance of the graph and annotate it. It allows you to export as PNG image, share the graph, and generate an embed code for it. The graph output contains a watermark.

Conclusion:

So these are 5 web services which allow you to visualize data in the form of various graphs. You may also customize graph appearance, analyze graph using various options, save the final graph to your PC. I personally liked ChartBlocks the most. You can try these web services and plot your data to clearly analyze it.
