A line chart connects data points with a line to show how a value changes across an ordered dimension, almost always time. Each point is one measurement — a day, a week, a month — and the line between points makes the direction and speed of change visible. It is the default chart of product analytics and finance because most of the questions that matter are trend questions: is this number growing, how fast, and did that launch bend the curve. ## How to make a line chart 1. ### Import your CSV Drag and drop the file onto this page, browse for it, or paste rows straight from a spreadsheet. The sample data shows the shape: a date column plus one numeric column per series. 2. ### Pick the x-axis The tool auto-detects your date column. Change it in the X-axis dropdown if your file has more than one candidate. 3. ### Choose your series Check up to five numeric columns to plot, each in its own color. Move a series to the right y-axis if its scale dwarfs the others. 4. ### Download or embed Grab a high-resolution PNG or JPG, copy a static HTML embed, or export the data back to CSV. ## When to use a line chart - Trends over time: weekly active users, revenue by month, daily signups - Comparing how several series move together, like traffic by channel - Spotting spikes, dips, and inflection points at a glance When not to: If your x-axis is a set of categories rather than a timeline — channels, plans, teams — a bar chart makes the comparison easier to read. ## Charts that update themselves A chart from a CSV is a snapshot. Amplitude charts read straight from your product’s data — funnels, retention, and trends that stay current without another export. Plans start free. [See plans](/pricing) ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I make a line chart from a CSV? Drop your CSV on this page, pick the column for the x-axis (usually a date), and check the series you want to plot. The line chart renders instantly and you can download it as a PNG or JPG. ### Can I plot more than one line? Yes, up to five series at once, each in its own color. You can also move a series to a secondary right y-axis when the scales are very different. ### Can I smooth a noisy line chart? Yes. The Advanced section has rolling average and rolling sum transforms with a configurable window, plus a cumulative view for running totals. ### What is the difference between a line chart and a line graph? Nothing — they are two names for the same chart. This tool makes both, and the download works the same whichever you call it. ### Do the dates on a line chart need to be evenly spaced? They do not have to be, but be aware of how it renders: each row becomes one evenly spaced point along the x-axis, labeled with your date. So a gap of one day and a gap of one month look identical on the chart. If the real spacing matters, fill in the missing periods as rows with zero or blank values. ### Is my data uploaded anywhere when I make a line chart? No. The CSV is read and plotted by your own browser, so the numbers behind your trend line never reach Amplitude or any server. Closing the tab is all the cleanup there is. ## Why use this chart maker ### Create beautiful charts instantly Every chart is drawn in Amplitude’s own palette and typography, the same ones behind our product.
