Moving from Google Image Charts

A home for your Google Image Charts URLs.

Google Image Charts took a chart as a URL and returned an image, and it shut down. RenderChart works the same way. Paste an old chart URL to get its RenderChart version.

Convert a chart.

Converted. Change anything here and the chart follows.

What's different here.

You pay for renders

Only the first request for a chart counts. Every view after it comes from cache and is free.

Your key is in the URL

Use a short URL on Starter and above to hide the key and the data behind /s/.

Charts don't break

On a paid plan, going over your renders never stops a chart. We email you instead.
