Add or edit points
Type or paste names with Effort (x) and Impact (y). Drag points to fine‑tune placement; toggle grid and labels for clarity.
Quick Win (x 20, y 85), Major Project (x 80, y 90).
Style and annotate
Adjust axis and grid colors, background, font and point size. Rename quadrants and add brief notes via labels or descriptions.
Rename TL to “Quick Wins”; set background to light gray; point size 8.

Quadrant chart FAQs
What is an AI quadrant graph generator?
It’s a tool that builds a labeled 2×2 impact–effort matrix for you. Describe your items, and the AI sets axes, quadrant labels, and points with sensible defaults you can edit, drag, and style.
Can I change the axis and quadrant labels?
Yes. Edit Effort (x) and Impact (y) names, and rename any quadrant. Defaults include High/Low Impact and Effort, which you can customize to your framework.
How do I add data points?
Type or paste names with Effort (x) and Impact (y) values, or upload a CSV/XLSX in Pro. You can also drag points directly on the canvas to fine‑tune placement.
Can I show labels or percentages on points?
You can show point labels with names and values. If your Effort or Impact uses percentage scales, enable labels with % formatting for clarity.
Is there zoom, pan, and drag‑drop?
Yes. Enable zoom and pan for dense matrices and drag‑drop to adjust points. Grid lines help keep alignment neat and readable.
Inclusive design
- ✓Readable fonts and scalable point sizes for clarity at any zoom
- ✓High‑contrast color options and legible grid lines
- ✓Keyboard navigation for selection and editing where possible
- ✓Descriptive labels for screen readers on points and axes
- ✓Avoids color‑only meaning; uses labels and shapes
