About SimplePub

SimplePub is a free, browser-based tool that turns tabular data into publication-ready figures. It was built for researchers, students and analysts who need a clean bar chart, line graph, scatter plot, heatmap, box plot, pie chart or choropleth map for a paper, thesis or report, without installing software or learning a plotting library.

What it does

You drop in a CSV, TSV, Excel, JSON or Parquet file, answer a few plain-language questions about what you want to show, and SimplePub draws the figure with typography, line weights and colour palettes suited to print. Figures export as PNG for slides and as SVG, PDF or EPS for manuscripts.
