Free data story maker features

AI-written, on-brand copy

Describe it in a sentence and we write the headline, structure and body in a polished, on-brand voice — then you refine anything you like.

Guided, not a dashboard

Reveal one insight at a time so the reader follows your argument instead of getting lost in a wall of charts.

Numbers that animate in context

Key figures count up and reveal as the reader scrolls, with the words that explain why they matter.

Interactive, not a static file

Your content becomes an immersive, scroll-driven page with a hero and details that animate as people read — far more engaging than a PDF or slide deck.

Hero visuals, generated for you

We create a cinematic hero and supporting imagery themed to your topic — no stock-photo hunting or design tools required.

Fully editable, no code

Change any word, image, colour or section in a simple visual editor. No code and no designer needed.

About data storys

What is data storytelling?

Using narrative structure to guide a reader through data — one insight at a time — so the numbers actually mean something. See what to include.

Do I need charts or raw data?

You can include figures and simple visuals, but the power is in the narrative — we help you frame the question and the takeaway.

How do I keep it honest?

Lead with the real question, show the relevant numbers in context, and don't overstate. Clarity beats spin.

Can I include my own visuals?

Yes — add images or charts in the editor, and present headline figures as animated stats.

Who is this for?

Analysts, marketers, journalists, researchers — anyone who needs people to understand and remember the numbers.
