Frequently Asked Questions

What chart types are available?

The tool offers three chart types: a vertical bar chart ideal for comparing options side by side, a pie chart with a ranked legend for showing proportions, and a horizontal bar chart that works well for longer option labels.

Can I customize the colors?

Yes. Each poll option has its own color picker, so you can match your brand palette or use contrasting colors for maximum readability. Twelve default colors are provided as starting points.

What image format is the download?

Charts are exported as high-resolution PNG images at 800 pixels wide. The filename is automatically generated from your poll question for easy organization.

Is this tool free?

Yes, the Random Poll Generator is completely free. There are no limits on the number of polls you create or download, and no account or sign-up is required.

Is my data secure?

Absolutely. All chart rendering happens entirely in your browser using the HTML Canvas API. No poll data, vote counts, or images are sent to any server or stored externally.

How many options can I add to a poll?

You can add as many options as you like, with a minimum of two. The chart layout dynamically adjusts bar widths, legend spacing, and font sizes to accommodate larger polls.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use contrasting colors: Pick colors with high contrast so each option is easy to distinguish at a glance, especially in pie charts.
  • Keep labels concise: Short option text prevents clipping and ensures labels render clearly inside the chart.
  • Choose the right chart type: Use bar charts for direct comparison, pie charts for proportions, and horizontal bars when you have longer labels.
  • Randomize for demos: The "Random Votes" button creates realistic-looking data instantly, perfect for design prototypes and presentations.
  • Check both previews: The real-time HTML preview and the canvas export can differ slightly, so always verify the downloaded image before publishing.
  • Add meaningful totals: Realistic vote totals make your chart more convincing; avoid extremely small or extremely large numbers for best visual results.
