Microsoft Excel is one of the most powerful tools for data analysis that provides plenty of features and special options to visualize your data. Charts (or graphs) is one of such options and creating a chart in Excel is as easy as selecting your data and clicking an appropriate chart icon.

But what has strengths usually has it weaknesses. The weak point of Excel charts is the lack of an option to save them as images or to export to another file. It would be really nice if we could simply right-click a graph and see something like “Save as image” or “Export to“. But since Microsoft did not bother to create such features for us, we’ll figure something out on our own 🙂

In this article I will show you 4 ways of saving an Excel chart as an image, so that you can insert it in other Office applications like Word and PowerPoint, or use to create some nice infographics:

Copy a chart to a graphics program and save as picture

A friend of mine told me once how she usually copies her Excel charts to Paint. What she does is create a chart and click PrintScreen, then open Paint and pastes the image of the entire screen. After that she crops the redundant screen areas and saves the remaining part to a file. If you do it this way too, forget about it and never use this childish method again! There is a quicker and smarter way 🙂

As an example, I created a nice 3-D Pie graph in my Excel 2010 that visually represents the demographics of our web site’s visitors and now I want to export this Excel chart as image. What we do is as follows:

1. Right-click somewhere on the chart border and click Copy. Do not place the cursor within the chart; this may select individual elements rather than the whole graph and you won’t see the Copy command.

   While your charts may be in Excel, it’s not necessary that it’s the best way to show them to your clients/managers. Often, it would be required to show these charts in a PowerPoint presentation or in an MS Word document of PDFs.

   Microsoft Excel has a lot of tools to perform calculations and edit or display data in useful ways. One such option is to select a range of cells and use that data to create a chart or a graph.

   Excel has many uses for managing and manipulating data, including the ability to generate charts or graphs from the data in your spreadsheet.
