Question 1

How do I add a chart to an HTML email?

Accepted Answer

Standard chart libraries like Chart.js use JavaScript and Canvas/SVG, which are stripped by email clients. Email-safe charts use pure HTML tables with styled cell backgrounds to simulate bar charts, or inline SVG for clients that support it. GraphIQ generates charts using both approaches with appropriate fallbacks.

Question 2

Do SVG charts work in emails?

Accepted Answer

SVG renders in Apple Mail, iOS Mail, Outlook for Mac, and Gmail Web. Outlook for Windows (Word renderer) does NOT support SVG. GraphIQ generates VML fallbacks for Outlook so your charts display in all clients simultaneously.

Question 3

Can I show data visualizations in email without images?

Accepted Answer

Yes — GraphIQ generates pure code bar charts, progress bars, and donut charts using HTML table cells or SVG elements with no external image dependencies. This means your charts update dynamically with your data, load instantly, and do not break when image loading is blocked.

Question 4

What types of charts can I add to email?

Accepted Answer

GraphIQ supports: horizontal and vertical bar charts, progress/fill bars, donut/ring charts, comparison columns, bullet charts, and sparkline trend lines. All are generated as email-compatible HTML/VML code with no JavaScript or external dependencies.
