Free Gantt chart maker — build your first chart in minutes
Add your tasks, set the dates, drag the bars. Free forever for individuals — no credit card, no trial countdown.
How to make a Gantt chart (3 steps)
- 1
List your tasks. Type each task or phase of your project — "Design homepage," "Venue booking," "Grant narrative draft."
- 2
Set start and end dates. Click a task and pick its dates, or just drag the bar on the timeline.
- 3
Connect and share. Link dependent tasks so the plan updates when dates shift. When it looks right, save it or export it.
Why this Gantt maker instead of Excel or PowerPoint?
Most people's first Gantt chart is a spreadsheet with colored cells. It works — until a date changes and you spend an evening re-coloring cells. A real Gantt tool makes the bars live: drag one task and everything connected to it moves. ExtravaGantt keeps that power but skips the enterprise complexity. If you've opened Microsoft Project and quietly closed it again, you're our target audience.
Made for people who plan real projects, not PMO departments
- Freelancers — map client projects and show professional timelines in proposals.
- Small agencies — plan campaigns and share progress with clients.
- Grant writers — build the project timeline every funder asks for.
- Event planners — track every vendor, deadline, and dependency up to the big day.
FAQ
Is it really free?
Yes. The individual plan is free forever. Paid plans exist for larger projects and teams — flat monthly plans, never per-user fees.
Do I need to install anything?
No. ExtravaGantt runs entirely in your browser, on any OS.
Can I export my Gantt chart?
Yes — export as PNG or PDF to drop into proposals and presentations, or download your tasks as CSV.
What's the difference between this and a Gantt chart template?
A template is a static picture you edit by hand. This is a live chart: change a date and the timeline updates, move a task and its dependencies follow.
Can my team use it?
Yes — assign tasks to teammates as labels. Flat monthly plans, never per-user fees, so adding your whole team doesn't multiply the price.
