How to Use
- 1
Paste your matrix
Copy a range straight from Excel or Google Sheets — categories down the first column, one value column per segment, header row names the segments.
- 2
Drag the segments
Drag any segment’s outer edge to resize it — totals re-flow live, and 100% mode renormalizes the shares around your drag.
- 3
Touch the chart to edit it
Click the title, axis names, category labels, series names, or in-segment values and type. Tap a segment for exact value, color, or remove.
- 4
Pick a layout and look
Stacked, 100% stacked, or grouped — columns or rows — with legend, totals, grid, rounded bars, five themes, and three canvas sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a stacked bar chart?
A stacked bar chart divides each bar into colored segments representing different categories or series. The total bar height shows the combined value, while segments show the contribution of each part.
Stacked vs grouped bar chart — which should I use?
Use stacked when you want to show total plus composition. Use grouped when you want to compare individual values side by side. Use 100% stacked when the story is share of total.
Can I add more than 3 series?
Yes — add multiple editable series, give each one a color, and use the legend to keep the segments readable.
Can I make it 100% stacked?
Yes. The tool includes a 100% stacked mode that normalizes every category to 100% so you can compare composition rather than raw totals.
