Rescroll

Free bar graph video maker

Turn a few numbers into an animated bar graph with gridlines and a scale, and download it as a 1080p MP4 in 16:9, ready for a YouTube video or a slide. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.

The basics

What is a bar graph video?

A bar graph video is a clip of a bar graph drawing itself: the gridlines and the scale appear first, then each bar rises to its value while the number counts up. Bar graph and bar chart are two names for the same thing.

This one opens on a week of daily steps in a 16:9 frame, with gridlines and a scale that runs from 0 to 15K in steps of 5K. The scale is worked out from your numbers: it rounds up from the largest value to a round figure, here from 12,800 to 15,000. The bars rise one at a time over three and a half seconds.

For a presentation or a class project, keep the 16:9 frame and put the MP4 on a slide like any other video. For a Short or a Reel, switch the frame to 9:16 and the graph is laid out again to suit the taller shape.

To put it on your video, see how to add a bar chart in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.

How it works

How to make a bar graph video.

Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.

  1. 1

    Type your data

    Give the chart a title, then a label and a number for each bar: anywhere from 2 to 8 of them. Add a prefix or suffix such as $, % or K, and sort the bars by value if you want a ranking.

  2. 2

    Choose the chart

    Stand the bars up or lay them down. Give them the look's gradient or a color each, and decide whether to show the values, highlight the largest bar, or add gridlines and a scale.

  3. 3

    Set the motion and the look

    Grow the bars in a wave, one by one or all together, over 1 to 20 seconds. Then pick one of six looks and four typefaces, or your own colors, and a frame: 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 or 4:5.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

    Press Download. The chart is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device. No account, no watermark.

Bar chart animation

Six months of revenue as rising bars, each value counting up as its bar grows. Type your own labels and numbers for 2 to 8 bars.

Horizontal bar chart

Five traffic sources as horizontal bars, the largest picked out with a badge. Each label gets a line of its own, so long names fit.

When a bar chart isn’t enough

The free bar chart is the starting point.

Here you get a clean chart on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you actually want in plain English, like “a bar chart of my year in revenue, with the last two months shooting up as I say ‘and then this’”, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the exact word you say. You can attach your data, a screenshot or your logo, and change anything by asking in the chat.

Questions

Bar graph video: your questions, answered.

How do I make a bar graph video?

This page opens on one: seven bars with gridlines and a scale. Replace the title, labels and numbers with your own, pick a look and press Download. The MP4 is 1080p and has no watermark.

Is a bar graph the same as a bar chart?

Yes. They're two names for the same chart: bars whose lengths stand for values, measured from zero. When the bars stand up it's also called a column chart. This maker draws them standing up or lying down.

How do I add gridlines and numbers along the side?

Turn on Gridlines and scale, which this page has on already. The scale starts at zero and rounds up from your largest value to a round number, with a line and a figure at each step. Large figures are written short, so 5,000 reads 5K.

What size is the bar graph video?

This page starts in 16:9 at 1920×1080, the shape of a standard YouTube video or a slide. You can switch to 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5, all at 1080p, and the graph is laid out again for each.

Can I use the bar graph in a presentation or a school project?

Yes. The download is a standard MP4 that's yours to use, so it plays wherever a video does: on a slide, in a class video or in a report recorded to camera. It has no watermark and needs no attribution.

Is the bar chart maker free?

Yes. It's free to use and free to download, with no account, no email address and no watermark on the video. There's no limit on how many you make.

What format and resolution is the video?

An MP4 with H.264 video, at 1080p in the shape you choose: 1080×1920 (9:16) for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1920×1080 (16:9) for YouTube, 1080×1080 (1:1), or 1080×1350 (4:5) for the Instagram feed. You can export at 30 or 60 frames per second.

Can I get the bar chart with a transparent background?

MP4 can't store transparency, so the bar chart comes ready to key instead. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key in your editor. If the graphic is light, you can also set the background to black and use the Screen blend mode. Either way only the bar chart is left over your footage.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The bar chart is drawn and encoded on your own device, using your browser's built-in video encoder. Nothing is sent to a server and there's no render queue.

Can I use the bar chart in client work, ads or monetized videos?

Yes. The video you download is yours to use in personal and commercial projects, with no attribution needed.

Can I match my brand, add my logo or change the design?

Not in the free maker, which is deliberately simple. That's what Rescroll's AI motion graphics are for: describe the graphic you want in plain English, attach your logo, fonts or a screenshot of your style, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the word you say. Ask for any change in the chat. It's part of the Pro, Ultimate and Scale plans.
