Bar chart templates
Browse bar chart and bar graph templates for column, horizontal, grouped, and stacked layouts. Each gallery preview opens in the editor with sample categories and values you can replace without rebuilding axes or bar styling.
Browse bar graph and column chart layouts
This gallery lists bar chart templates you can open in one click—column charts, horizontal bar graphs, grouped double-bar layouts, and segmented stacks with axis labels already configured. Pick a preview when you need a ranking or category chart for a slide without drawing bars from a blank canvas.
Templates here cover the layouts teams reuse most: vertical column charts for short category names, horizontal bars when labels run long, grouped bars for side-by-side metrics, and stacked bars when each category has parts that sum to a total. Click any card to load sample rows in the editor, then paste your table or import CSV.
For a full bar graph maker walkthrough with use cases, export workflows, styling tips, and extended FAQs, see the dedicated bar chart maker page linked below. This template index stays focused on browsing layouts and opening previews quickly.
When you compare gallery cards, note orientation, stack mode, and label density. Those preset choices are easier to judge here than after rebuilding a bar chart from scratch in the editor.
