Why Chart Block?

Tables full of numbers make visitors skim. Chart Block turns tabular numeric data into clear visual stories – bar, pie, line, scatter, radar, gauge, heatmap, candlestick, funnel, stacked, and grouped bar charts – all rendered responsively on every device.

Enter data manually in the editor, or import large datasets from CSV or JSON files in seconds. Every chart is fully customizable: dimensions, pointer styles, grid lines, legends, typography, and even currency symbols for financial reporting. Visitors can export charts as high-resolution PNG images or download the underlying data as CSV/JSON.

You can easily switch a chart from one type to another, and a shortcode generator lets you place charts anywhere on your site – not just in block-based content.
