Build professional Gantt charts online in minutes with the MLC Free Gantt Chart Maker. This is the only completely free online tool that lets you create a Gantt chart and export it directly as a native PowerPoint (.pptx) slide or a styled Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet. No signup, no download, no watermark, no hidden fees. 100% free forever.
Most free Gantt chart tools only export to PNG or PDF, which aren't editable. Others require you to install a PowerPoint add-in or create an account. The MLC Gantt Chart Maker is different: you build your timeline in the browser, preview it in real time, and export a fully editable PowerPoint slide with native shapes that you can customize in PowerPoint. You can also export to Excel with colored cells and a visual Gantt timeline grid.
Five professional visual styles to choose from: Classic Gantt chart with horizontal bars and task labels, Timeline with items above and below a central axis, Swimlane with tasks grouped by owner, Compact Bars with inline text labels, and Roadmap with high-level phase bands. Twelve curated color palettes inspired by the most popular design trends. Full support for milestones, sub-tasks, task owners, progress tracking, and custom colors. Import your existing project data from Excel, CSV, or paste from any spreadsheet. Share your Gantt chart via a link that anyone can open to view, edit, and export their own copy. Save up to 3 projects in your browser with optional email backup.
Click "+ Task" to add activities to your project timeline. Set start and end dates, assign owners, track progress with a visual percentage bar, and organize tasks into sub-tasks under master activities. Choose your preferred visual style and color palette, then click "Export" to download your Gantt chart as a PowerPoint slide or an Excel spreadsheet. The exported PowerPoint file contains native editable shapes so you can fine-tune every element directly in PowerPoint.
Project managers, consultants, team leads, and anyone who needs to present a project timeline in a meeting, proposal, or report. Whether you're preparing an executive presentation, a client proposal, a status report, or a project plan, this tool helps you create a professional Gantt chart in minutes and export it in the format your audience expects.
