Timeline Maker
Add dated events
Use one row for each event. Dates are plotted in chronological order, so spacing shows the real time between events.
Turn a sequence of dated events into a clear visual timeline without creating an account or sending the dates anywhere. Add a title, date, short event name, optional note, and color for each row. The timeline places valid events from earliest to latest and spaces them by the actual number of calendar days between their dates. Review it in the browser, then print it or download a local SVG, PNG, or CSV copy.
How to make a timeline
-
1
Add dated events
Enter one event per row with a real calendar date. Leave a row blank until you are ready to include it.
-
2
Check the chronological view
Review the ordered points and correct any incomplete dates before exporting. Events on the same date share the same position.

Export the format you need
Print the visual timeline, download a scalable SVG or PNG image, or save the dated event table as CSV.
Make the spacing mean something
A timeline is most useful when its spacing tells the truth. This maker uses each event’s calendar date to place it on the horizontal axis. If one event is 7 days after another and the next is 70 days later, the second gap is drawn about ten times wider. That makes short bursts, long waits, and clustered decisions easier to see than they are in a simple numbered list.
Use a separate row for every event you want to compare. A short title is easier to scan than a paragraph; put supporting context in the optional description. The tool sorts valid events by date for display and export. It does not invent dates, infer durations, schedule tasks, track dependencies, or adjust for time zones because the input is a date rather than a date and time.
| Need | Use this export | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A slide, document, or web layout | SVG | It stays sharp when scaled and can be edited in compatible design software. |
| An image upload or quick attachment | PNG | It is a fixed image made from the current timeline. |
| A spreadsheet or another system | CSV | It contains the event title, date, description, and selected color. |
| A meeting handout | Your browser can print the current visual timeline or save it as a PDF. |
Good uses and limits
This is a focused tool for a single linear chronology: a product release history, research milestones, a family archive, a project overview, or a classroom sequence. It holds up to 24 dated events, each with one of six preset colors, which is enough for a clear single-page overview. A dense operational project with assigned work, dependencies, critical paths, recurring shifts, or live collaboration needs a dedicated project-management or scheduling system instead.
Your working copy stays in browser memory and the current browser session. The title, dates, notes, colors, and downloads are not included in funnel URLs or sent as Livewire fields. Closing the browser session, using private browsing, or choosing Reset can remove the saved working copy, so download an SVG, PNG, or CSV if you need a durable copy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Every valid event is ordered by its calendar date, and the distance between points is proportional to the number of calendar days in that range. Events with the same date share the same position.
No. This tool plots calendar dates only. It does not accept event times, convert time zones, or create calendar appointments.
A titled row with an invalid or incomplete date is highlighted for correction and is excluded from the drawn timeline. Exports ask you to complete or remove those rows first.
SVG is a scalable vector image that stays sharp when enlarged. PNG is a fixed raster image. Both are generated locally from the current timeline.
Use it for a visual overview of dated milestones. It does not calculate durations, dependencies, workload, assignments, costs, or a critical path.
No. The title, dates, notes, and colors stay in browser memory and session storage. They are not sent to the server, added to the URL, or shared through a public link.
