In an email
<img src="https://chartbytes.onrender.com/chart?t=bar&d=12,19,8,24&labels=Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4&title=Sales" alt="Sales chart">
Most email clients block JavaScript but render images. A chart image URL renders the chart in Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail with no extra setup.
In a GitHub README
Drop a Markdown image into any README, issue or wiki page and GitHub renders the chart inline — ideal for CI badges-adjacent stats, project dashboards and release notes.
In Notion & Slack
Paste the same URL into a Notion embed block or a Slack message. Both render the image automatically.
Chart types
bar · hbar · stacked · pie · donut — as PNG (default) or SVG. Multiple series are supported (grouped or stacked bars).
