What Is GFChart Image Charts?
GFChart Image Charts is developed by GF Chart and functions as a specialized extension for the core Gravity Forms plugin. Launched in 2014, the developer provides solutions to customers in over 70 countries looking for reliable data interpretation. It belongs to the visualization category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for data management and reporting.
The plugin solves the problem of high-latency or non-rendering charts in restricted environments like email clients. It is designed for users who need to send automated assessments, sales reports, or survey results directly to users’ inboxes as static images.
GFChart Image Charts Features
The feature set is built around converting dynamic form data into static visual assets that maintain layout integrity across all devices.
Automated Reporting and PDFs
Image Charts enables the rendering of complex calculations and graphs directly into PDF documents and email notifications. By converting data into static images, it ensures that your reports look exactly the same in a recipient’s inbox as they do on your site. This is specifically useful for automated business reports or survey summaries that require zero manual intervention.
Fast Loading and Shareability
Because the charts are generated as image files, they load significantly faster than dynamic counterparts that require JavaScript. This makes them ideal for high-traffic dashboards where performance is a priority. These image assets are easily shareable across different platforms since they do not rely on live database connections once generated.
Deep Gravity Forms Integration
The plugin inherits the robust filtering capabilities of the parent GFChart system, allowing you to segment and filter form entries before they are converted into images. It supports modern block-based editing via a Gutenberg block, ensuring a menu-driven interface that requires no coding. This integration makes it a natural fit for sites already utilizing GF Chart extensions for surveys or registrations.
Pricing
Retail pricing for the standalone add-on can reach up to $200.00 depending on the bundle. Check current pricing on the Image Charts sales page, or access it as part of a WPExclusive membership.
