Radar chart maker
Compare profiles across several measures at once — laptops, job candidates, football players, skills. Each row is a spoke; each column is a shape on the web.
First row = headers. First column = categories; every extra column becomes a series. Paste straight from a spreadsheet.

How to make a radar chart
- Paste a table: first column = measures (Battery, Screen…), each extra column = one item to compare.
- Use the same scale for every measure (e.g. all out of 10).
- Keep it to two or three items so shapes stay readable.
- Download PNG or SVG.
Radar, spider or web chart?
All three names mean the same chart: measures arranged like spokes around a centre, with each item drawn as a closed shape. It shines when you want an at-a-glance profile — “strong on battery and weight, weak on performance”.
Use it carefully
- Every spoke must use the same scale; otherwise the shape is meaningless. Convert to scores (0–10) or percentages first.
- Shape area depends on the order of spokes, so don’t read area as a total. Put related measures next to each other.
- Need exact comparisons? A grouped bar graph of the same table is easier to read precisely.
Questions
How many measures can a radar chart have?
At least three. Five to eight is the sweet spot; more than ten makes labels crowded.
What’s the difference between a radar chart and a spider chart?
Nothing — they’re two names for the same chart. See the spider chart maker for a skills-assessment example.
How do I make a radar chart in Excel?
Select your table, then Insert → Charts → Radar. In Google Sheets choose Insert → Chart and pick Radar chart. Or paste the same table here for a clean PNG with no setup.
When should I not use a radar chart?
When the measures use different scales, when you compare more than three items, or when precise values matter more than the overall shape. A grouped bar graph is clearer in those cases.
Can I compare more than two items?
Yes, add more columns. Beyond three overlapping shapes it gets hard to read, so consider separate small charts.
