Overview

What this tool is for

Newsletters are read fast, on phones, in a cramped inbox column, and often with images half-loaded. A chart that looks fine on your screen can turn into an unreadable smudge in that context. Yet a single clear visual is often the most-remembered thing in an issue, the data point people screenshot and share.

A newsletter chart has to survive the medium: big enough labels to read on a phone, a single clear message, and a format that renders everywhere. Static images (PNG) work in every email client; an animated GIF loops in most and catches the eye in a busy inbox. The trick is legibility first, polish second.

Reochart makes charts sized and styled for email, on your brand, exported as a crisp PNG for universal support or a looping GIF for a bit of motion. Build the one chart your issue is built around, drop it in, and it reads cleanly whether someone opens it on a laptop or a phone on the train.

How it works

How to make newsletter charts

1

Pick the one number or trend the issue is about and choose a simple chart: bars for a comparison, a line for a trend, a counter for a single figure. Enter the data, keep labels short, and use large, high-contrast text so it reads on a small screen.

2

Export a PNG for maximum email-client support, or a GIF if you want subtle motion. Avoid MP4 for email — most inbox clients won't autoplay it — and always include descriptive alt text when you embed.

Good fit

When to use it

  • The one visual an issue is built around
  • A metric update to your list
  • A data point worth screenshotting
  • Recurring "numbers this week" sections
  • Report and roundup emails

Reach for something else

When not to use it

  • The email is text-only by design, a chart may feel bolted on.
  • You have many charts, link to a web version instead of stuffing the email.
  • The point is one sentence, write the sentence.
  • Images are commonly blocked for your audience, lead with text and use alt.

Best practices

Get it right

Do
  • Use large, high-contrast labels for small screens.
  • Export PNG for universal email support.
  • Keep it to one message per chart.
  • Add descriptive alt text when you embed.
Don't
  • Rely on MP4 — most inbox clients won't autoplay.
  • Pack a dense multi-series chart into an email.
  • Use tiny axis labels that vanish on mobile.
  • Assume images always load; caption the takeaway.

Watch out

Common mistakes to avoid

!
Unreadable on mobile

Most opens are on phones. Small labels and busy charts turn to mush. Size type up and simplify.

!
MP4 in email

Most email clients won't autoplay video. Use a PNG, or a GIF if you want motion.

!
No alt text

Images get blocked. Without alt text, a blocked chart is a blank hole where your point should be.

!
Too many charts

An inbox column is narrow and attention is short. One strong chart beats five cramped ones.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which image format works in email?

PNG is the safest — it renders in every email client. GIF works in most and adds subtle motion. Avoid MP4; most inbox clients won't autoplay it.

Will an animated chart play in the inbox?

A GIF loops in most clients. Video (MP4) generally won't autoplay in email, so export a GIF or a static PNG for newsletters.

How do I make charts readable on mobile?

Most newsletter opens are on phones, so use large high-contrast labels, one message per chart, and avoid dense multi-series charts.

Should I add alt text?

Yes. Email clients often block images by default, so descriptive alt text ensures your point survives even when the chart doesn't load.

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.

Is Reochart free?

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