What data format does the bar chart race maker use?

You enter data directly in the browser. Add categories (rows) and time periods (columns), then fill in numeric values for each cell. You can also load a sample dataset to see the expected structure and modify it from there.

How long can my bar chart race video be?

The animation duration is adjustable from 5 to 60 seconds. You can also control intro and outro hold times to let the first and last frames linger before and after the race animation.

Can I customize bar colors and fonts?

Yes. Each category has its own color picker so you can set individual bar colors. You can also choose from five font families, adjust title size, bar height, bar gap, corner radius, and more in the Style section.

Is the video rendered on a server?

No. The MP4 is rendered entirely in your browser using Remotion and WebCodecs. Your data never leaves your device. Free exports include a small Framebit watermark, and Pro removes it.

What resolution and format is the exported video?

Videos are exported as MP4 at either 1920x1080 (16:9) or 1080x1920 (9:16) at your selected frame rate. Free downloads include a small Framebit watermark; Pro downloads remove it.

Our free online bar chart race maker lets you create animated racing bar chart videos directly in your web browser. A bar chart race is a dynamic data visualization where horizontal bars represent categories competing over time — bars grow, shrink, and re-rank as values change across time periods, creating an engaging animated story from your data. Whether you are visualizing global GDP rankings, company revenue over decades, population growth by country, or any other time-series dataset, this tool turns your numbers into a compelling animated video. Simply enter your categories and time periods, customize the colors, fonts, bar height, animation duration, and easing style, then export a high-quality landscape or vertical MP4 video rendered entirely on your device. No data is uploaded to any server, so your information stays completely private. The exported video works perfectly in presentations, social media posts, YouTube uploads, and any context where you want to communicate data trends in a visually engaging way. Unlike other bar chart race generators that require desktop software or paid subscriptions, this tool is free, runs in any modern browser, and produces professional-quality watermarked exports. Pro removes the watermark while keeping browser rendering unlimited.
