Horizontal Bar Graph Maker
Bars that run sideways, so long labels like survey answers or names stay readable. Sort them into a ranking in one click. Free, no sign-up.
Paste from a spreadsheet or CSV
First column: the labels. Each further column is a series (more than one makes a double or stacked bar graph). Copy cells straight from Excel or Google Sheets, or paste CSV. A header row names the series. You can also paste into any cell of the table.
One per line, or separated by spaces or commas. Paste a column straight from a spreadsheet.

When to turn the bars sideways
Horizontal bars give every label a full line of its own, so they suit survey answers, product names, countries and anything longer than a word or two. Vertical columns squeeze labels under each bar; past a handful of bars, the labels have to tilt, and tilted text is slow to read. The check under the graph tells you when that happens.
Horizontal bars also make rankings easy to read: choose Largest first and the list reads top to bottom like a leaderboard.
What stays the same
Everything else works the same way: the value axis starts at zero (now along the bottom), value labels sit at the end of each bar, and you can switch to a double or stacked bar without retyping. For things in time order, like months, vertical columns or a line graph read more naturally left to right.
