Figra is a free Excel add-in that brings ggplot2 figures directly into Excel, no R installation, no coding required. You can install it directly from your Excel add-in tab.
How it works
background via WebAssembly (webR).
Chart types
Histogram, box plot, violin plot, dot plot, bar chart, grouped variants, line plots,
dose-response (IC50 / 4PL), clonogenic survival (LQ model), scatter plot
Built-in statistical analysis
- Auto-selects the appropriate test (Shapiro-Wilk, Levene's test or F-test, t-test / Wilcoxon / ANOVA / Kruskal-Wallis)
- Post-hoc tests: Tukey, Dunnett, Bonferroni, Holm, Dunn
- Significance displayed as stars, letters, or exact p-values
Exports statistical results directly to Excel cells
## Reproducibility: Load from Figure All data and settings are embedded invisibly in the exported PNG. Select the PNG in Excel and click "Load from Figure" to fully restore your data, settings, and chart type then ready to edit or reproduce at any time.
## Other features
- Export at 300+ DPI (publication-ready)
- Educational R code export. See the ggplot2 code behind your figure
Free to use

Should post this to wetlab-orientated communities. There people might benefit from it. Here, I would assume everyone can use R/Python plotting libraries. Also, Excel does not scale with OMICS-scale data, so usecases in bioinformatics are limited.
Hi Atpoint, Yeah, that’s exactly the user I have in mind. I agree with you. For OMICS-scale analysis, I also use R/Python myself; Excel is not suitable. I’m in a lab that does both wet and dry work. Honestly, writing R code every time just to make a simple figure for wet experiments can be a bit tedious, and since the data is already in Excel, I wanted a way to visualize it directly from there. Thanks for the feedback.
Do you happen to know any good wetlab-orientated communities where this kind of tool might be useful?
