Stop spending 30+ minutes manually clicking data points in outdated tools. Drop a screenshot, photo, or PDF — our AI extracts every number automatically. Download as CSV, Excel, or an editable chart.

Our AI vision engine identifies the chart type, reads axis labels, detects every data point, and extracts precise numbers — automatically. No clicking. No guessing.
Get a clean CSV, Excel file, or JSON — plus a fully editable interactive chart you can restyle, re-color, and export in any format.

Every competitor either requires manual point-clicking or doesn't exist as a public tool.
Unlike PlotDigitizer (requires clicking every point), our AI vision engine reads entire charts automatically. Upload → Done. No manual steps whatsoever.
Bar, line, pie, scatter, area, histogram, candlestick, radar, heatmap — we recognize and extract from any chart type found in real-world documents.
Screenshots, phone photos, PDF pages, scanned documents, PowerPoint screenshots — if you can see the chart, we can extract the data from it.
Download as CSV, Excel (.xlsx), JSON for developers, or get a fully editable interactive chart you can restyle and export as PNG, SVG, or PDF.
Pro users can upload 10+ charts simultaneously. Perfect for researchers with entire PDF papers or analysts processing quarterly reports.
Your data is processed and immediately deleted. We don't store your charts or extracted data. Perfect for confidential business documents.
Real feedback from early adopters who switched from PlotDigitizer and manual transcription.
"I have 150 charts across my dissertation PDFs. What used to take me 3 days of clicking now takes 15 minutes. I genuinely teared up."
"My boss sent me a competitor's investor deck as a screenshot. ChartSnap extracted all the revenue charts in under a minute. Saved my presentation."
"PlotDigitizer has a manual click-every-point workflow that takes 30 min per chart. ChartSnap does the same thing in 4 seconds. Not an exaggeration."
Every alternative either requires brutal manual work or simply doesn't exist as a usable public tool.
