Edit in place
Change a date, a duration or a dependency in the table and the chart redraws. Dependants move with their predecessors, weekends and bank holidays are skipped.
Take it to the meeting
PNG and SVG are free. A PowerPoint export is built from native shapes and text boxes, so every bar and label can still be edited on the slide.

Columns it understands
Headers are matched by name, so most plans paste straight in. Anything it can’t place is listed under the paste box, where you can set it by hand.
| Column | Headers it recognises | What goes in it |
|---|---|---|
| Task | Task, Task name, Name, Activity, Item, Deliverable, Description, Event | The bar’s label. Required. |
| Start | Start, Start date, Begin, From, Planned start, Date, When | A date. Leave empty to start after the task it depends on. |
| End | End, Finish, Due, Due date, Deadline, Planned finish, Target date | A date (the last working day of the task). |
| Duration | Duration, Days, Length, Working days, Estimate | 5, 5d, 2w, 1.5 weeks, 1 month. 0 makes a milestone. |
| Owner | Owner, Assigned to, Assignee, Resource, Responsible, Lead, Team | Any name. Shown as a column and usable for colours. |
| % done | % Complete, Percent complete, Progress, % Done | 60%, 60 or 0.6. Done and Not started also work. |
| Depends on | Predecessors, Depends on, Dependencies, After, Blocked by | Row IDs or task names: 3, 4SS, 5FS+2d, Design. |
| Phase | Phase, Stage, Group, Section, Workstream, Epic | Groups tasks under a summary bar. |
| Milestone | Milestone, Type (when a row says Milestone) | Yes / x / true marks a milestone diamond. |
| ID | ID, #, No., WBS, Task ID | What Depends on refers to. Without it, row numbers are used. |

Questions
Is my spreadsheet uploaded?
No. Pasted rows and dropped .xlsx or .csv files are read by your browser and the chart is drawn there. The only thing sent to our server is a credit check when you download a PowerPoint or PDF: your key and a fingerprint of the chart, never the tasks.
Which columns does it need?
A task name and either a start date with an end date or a duration. Owner, % done, dependencies, phase and milestone columns are optional. Headers are matched by name (Start, Begin, Finish, Due, Duration, Days, Assigned to, % Complete, Predecessors and similar) and you can change any match.
How are dependencies written?
In a Depends on or Predecessors column, list the row number or task name of each predecessor, separated by commas. Finish-to-start is the default; 3SS, 3FF and lags like 3FS+2d also work.
Is the PowerPoint export a picture?
No. Every bar, milestone, gridline and label is a native PowerPoint shape or text box, so you can recolour a bar or retype a task on the slide. Long plans are split across slides with the date header repeated.
What does a credit buy?
One PowerPoint or one PDF download of a chart. Downloading the same unchanged chart in the same format again is free, so a slow connection or a second copy never costs twice. PNG and SVG never use credits.
Can I get a refund?
Unused credits are refundable within 14 days of purchase. Email us with your key.
Does it work with Google Sheets, Smartsheet or Project?
Anything that copies as rows and columns works. Select the cells including the header row and paste them. From Microsoft Project, add the columns you want (Name, Start, Finish, Resource Names, % Complete, Predecessors) to a table view, then copy them. Files can be dropped as .xlsx, .xls, .ods or .csv.
Will the PDF show non-Latin text?
The PDF uses the standard Helvetica font, which covers Western European languages. Characters outside that set (for example Chinese, Arabic or Cyrillic) show as question marks in the PDF. PNG, SVG and PowerPoint downloads show them normally.
