Turns a pasted table into a publication-quality chart in four steps.
Paste data, pick a chart type, annotate, publish — the workflow newsrooms use, and it shows in the defaults: sensible axes, readable labels and colour choices that survive a colourblind check. Choropleth and symbol maps are included with real boundary files. Free charts are unlimited but carry a 'Created with Datawrapper' credit, export is PNG only, and every chart is public.
AltFTool does this too
If you would rather not leave the site, Excel to Chart covers the same job here — free, no account, and it runs in your browser.
