Pull the data out of any deck chart

Stop redrawing slides in PowerPoint to get at the underlying numbers. Drop in the screenshot, calibrate the axes, paste straight into Excel.

What you're stuck on

Client decks come without data

You get a 60-slide deck and need the underlying numbers from three charts. The source data isn't included — and the client doesn't have it either.

Eyeball errors compound

Read a value off a slide and your 5% error becomes a 30% swing in the conclusions section of your own deck. Not OK.

Rebuilding eats the morning

Half the engagement budget is rebuilding source data in Excel. Real analysis happens after that.

Workflow

From client deck to working model

01
Screenshot the chart from the client's deck — slide, PDF, or PNG. The source format doesn't matter.
02
Tell the tool the chart type (bar, line, column, area, scatter). For a combo chart, extract each series separately. Drag the axis lines and enter the labels you can read off the slide.
03
Copy the result straight to your clipboard or download a CSV. Paste into your working model and move on.

Why it fits

Built for the way you actually work

Clipboard-first export

One-click copy to clipboard. Open Excel, Cmd+V, done. No file shuffling, no format conversions, no folder navigation.

Most deck chart types

Column charts, stacked and clustered bars, lines, areas, scatters. For a combo or dual-axis chart, extract each series separately and calibrate each Y-axis on its own.

Crop out client names

Trim the slide screenshot down to just the chart before you extract — the client's name, the deck's confidential footer, and any watermark stay out of the image. Manual extraction never leaves your browser; with AI, only the cropped plot is sent.

Combo and dual-axis charts are handled by extracting each series separately and calibrating each Y-axis independently. Pie and donut charts are not yet supported — they're usually re-buildable from the legend anyway.

"Pixel-precise calibration on log-scale wasn't possible before. Drag the axis lines, type the reference values, click the points — done. This is the missing tool in our workflow."

FAQ

Common questions

How accurate is the extraction?

Pixel-level. Your output matches the source visual to within the resolution of the screenshot. For a typical client deck slide (1920×1080), that's well below the rounding tolerance of any number that would actually appear in the chart.

Can I extract from a screenshot of a PDF slide?

Yes. PDF slides, PNGs, JPEGs, slide exports, even camera photos of printed decks. As long as the chart is legible, the calibration math works.

Can I batch-process 20 charts?

DataFromChart handles one chart at a time, but each one takes seconds — usually faster than setting up a batch run would be anyway.

Can I crop out the client's name before extracting?

Yes. The first step lets you crop the screenshot down to just the chart, so client names, deck footers, and watermarks never make it into the image. Manual extraction stays in your browser; with AI, only the cropped plot area is sent for a single read.

Is the chart data uploaded to your servers?

Manual extraction runs entirely in your browser — for client-confidential material, the screenshot never leaves your machine. AI auto-extraction is opt-in; only then is the cropped image sent to the AI provider for a single read, and it isn't retained.
