What is PlotDigitizer?

PlotDigitizer is freemium software that allows users to extract data from graphs and images.

Graphs and charts are visuals that we all have used to represent our data to the audience. They are the best means to express and share information.

However, sometimes, you might want to extract numerical data from graphs. In other words, we want to reverse-engineer these graphics instead of plotting. It is especially true if you work in the scientific field. Researchers, scientists, and engineers often study and rely on others’ work. And many a time, they have used external graphs and plots of which the original raw data is not available.

Extracting numerical data from plots is always a major challenge. Without access to the right tools, data extraction could be an inefficient and time-consuming process. PlotDigitizer is a professional tool that can efficiently ease data extraction from plots.

As mentioned, PlotDigitizer is freemium software. It offers a free online app and is paid for offline purposes. Its free online version is sufficient for data extraction from scientific graphs and has all the basic functionalities required to extract data.

Here are a list of features that includes in PlotDigitizer:

1. Accepts several image file formats (JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, SVG, and many more)

2. Supports Multiple graph types (XY, polar, ternary, pie/doughnut, bar, column)

3. Export the extracted data to other file formats (MS Excel, MATLAB, CSV, Array)

4. Zoom panel or magnifier to increase the accuracy of point selection

5. Supports both linear and nonlinear axes (logarithmic, date/time, inverse)

6. Manage and store multiple datasets

7. Automatic point detection
