I'm building EditKitz, a small kit of free browser tools for making short videos. Each tool does one job: set it up, preview it live, export an MP4. The newest one is Bar Chart Race.

Bar Chart Race preview

Why

Every bar chart race tool I found wanted an account, a subscription, or put a watermark on the export. I wanted something I could open, paste data into, and get a clean MP4 from.

What it does

  • Paste CSV, or copy straight from Excel or Google Sheets (one row per item, one column per step)
  • Live preview, then export MP4 at 480p, 720p or 1080p, 30 or 60 fps
  • 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16, for YouTube, feeds and Shorts or Reels
  • 4 palettes, a color per item, 6 fonts, title and step label options, any background (green screen included)
  • Up to 30 items and 40 steps, clips from 5 to 120 seconds
  • Items slide in or out when their cells are empty, and gaps in the middle are filled in
  • Errors name the exact cell, like "Row 3, 2021: '12a' is not a number."
  • Your data stays in your browser. No uploads, no account, no watermark.

The sample data is illustrative, not real market share. It's v1, so logos on bars, sound and sorting options aren't there yet. Tell me what you'd want next, or which tool I should build after this one.
