Overview

What is a funnel chart?

A funnel chart visualises how a number shrinks as people move through the stages of a process, visitors to signups to activated to paid. Each stage is a band, and because each band is narrower than the one above, the drop-off between steps is impossible to miss. It answers the question every growth and sales team asks: where are we losing people?

The funnel works because it shows two things at once: the absolute count at each stage, and the shape of the leakage. A funnel that pinches sharply at one step points straight at the bottleneck. That is far more persuasive than the same numbers in a table.

Reochart animates each stage narrowing into the next, so a conversion story unfolds step by step, ideal for a growth update, a sales review or a fundraising deck. Export as MP4, GIF, PNG or SVG, on your own brand on Pro.

How it works

How a funnel chart works

1

Stages are listed top to bottom from the largest count to the smallest, and each band's width is drawn in proportion to its value. The step-to-step narrowing is the drop-off, and the percentage that survives each step is the conversion rate.

2

Order matters: a funnel assumes each stage is a subset of the one above it. If your stages are not sequential (they do not feed into each other), a bar chart is the honest choice instead.

Examples

Example funnel charts

Real charts made in Reochart, each with its own data and theme. Hover to play the animation.

A product signup funnel, narrowing to paid.
A sales pipeline from lead to closed-won.
Checkout drop-off, step by step.

Good fit

When to use a funnel chart

  • Marketing or sales funnels
  • Signup to activation flow
  • Checkout or onboarding drop-off
  • Hiring pipeline stages
  • Any sequential conversion process

Reach for something else

When not to use a funnel chart

  • Your stages are not sequential, if one does not feed the next, use a bar chart.
  • A later stage can be larger than an earlier one, that breaks the funnel metaphor.
  • You are comparing categories rather than a flow, use bars.
  • You only have two stages, a simple before/after or a counter is clearer.

What data you need

One row per stage, ordered widest (top) to narrowest (bottom). Paste from a sheet or import a CSV. 3 to 6 stages reads best.

Best practices

Get it right

Do
  • Order stages largest to smallest, top to bottom.
  • Label the count at each stage so the drop-off is concrete.
  • Keep to 3-6 stages so each step is readable.
  • Use it only for genuinely sequential steps.
Don't
  • Mix in stages that are not subsets of the one above.
  • Add so many stages that the bands get thin and unreadable.
  • Imply a funnel when the numbers are just categories.
  • Forget to show the conversion percentages if they are the point.

Watch out

Common mistakes to avoid

!
Non-sequential stages

A funnel implies each stage flows from the last. If they do not, it misleads, use a bar chart.

!
A widening funnel

If a lower stage is bigger than an upper one, the metaphor breaks. Re-check the data or pick another chart.

!
Too many stages

Beyond about six, bands get thin and the story is lost. Group minor steps.

!
Missing rates

The drop-off is the point. Show the count, and ideally the conversion percentage, at each step.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a funnel chart?

A chart that shows the count at each stage of a sequential process as narrowing bands, making the drop-off between steps obvious.

What data do I need?

A label and a value for each stage, ordered from the widest (top) to the narrowest (bottom).

When should I not use a funnel chart?

When the stages are not sequential (one does not feed the next) or when a later stage can exceed an earlier one. Use a bar chart instead.

Funnel chart or waterfall chart?

A funnel shows how a count shrinks through stages. A waterfall shows how positive and negative changes build to a total, like a profit bridge.

Can I make it animated?

Yes. Charts animate by default, and you can export the animation as an MP4 or GIF, or grab a static PNG or SVG if you prefer.

Can I export as SVG?

Yes. Pro exports a crisp, scalable SVG vector, alongside MP4, GIF and PNG. Every export renders at 1080p.

Is Reochart free?

Yes. The free plan lets you make every chart type and export an animated MP4 with a small watermark, no card needed. Pro removes the watermark and adds GIF and SVG, your brand colours and logo, longer videos and CSV import.
