Flexible Data Entry

Timeline Maker Pro lets you enter your timeline data your way. Use the familiar spreadsheet style interface, copy/paste from MS Excel or use the Import Wizard with any CSV, TXT or MS Project file. Customize the data columns to match how you record your data.

Enter any date format (time-of-day is optional) for single date events or range events. Include detailed notes and link to external documents of any type – Word doc, spreadsheet, PDF, image, audio, video etc.
One-Click Timeline Charts

Choose from 5 popular timeline chart styles, including the exclusive Vertical Flag and Chronology report formats. Just one click and Timeline Maker Pro will automatically bring insight to your investigation, project, or presentation.

Eliminate duplication and errors by creating different views from the same set of data. Apply a theme, add an image or customize any element including the size of your chart – great for large format printers!
Interactive Presentations

Presenting your timeline with Timeline Maker Pro is a breeze with the built-in interactive presentation mode.

Step through your timeline chart one event at a time, hover to show (pop-up) additional event information, or hot-link to external documents and files. Zoom and scroll makes it easy for large timeline charts.

If you prefer, seamless integration with Microsoft PowerPoint lets you send your timeline to a PowerPoint slide where all the same interactive timeline display features are available in your PowerPoint presentation.
Share Any Size Chart with Anyone

Share your timelines with your colleagues and clients using familiar office software functions, including copy and paste into other documents, print on any size paper, or email your timeline charts from within Timeline Maker Pro. You can even publish your timelines to a wide variety of graphic formats as well as PDF and HTML.

Added value - use the exclusive and free Timeline Maker Viewer to share your fully interactive timelines (read only) with your colleagues or customers.
Lifetime License - NO Subscription Fees

Timeline Maker Pro is the only business class timeline software that offers free support and no annual license subscription fees.

Choose the number of licenses you require, pay a one-time fee for your perpetual license (major upgrades excepted) and you are free to make as many timeline charts for as long as you like.
Best for Sensitive Data

Timeline Maker Pro is one of the only commercial timeline creators that stores your data on your local drive or internal network – never on the Cloud. This can be critical for highly sensitive and confidential data.

Plus, with no dependency on the internet you can use Timeline Maker Pro anytime anywhere.

Easy as
1-2-3

Three simple steps get results. Fast!

Enter your events one line at time (spread-sheet style form) or use the Import Wizard with any CSV, TXT or Microsoft Project file. Copy and paste works too!
Choose from 5 different timeline layouts.
Timeline Maker Pro will automatically generate a professional looking timeline visual for you.

Note: Dates can be entered in any format, including BC dates and time of day (optional). Timeline Maker Pro automatically converts to your preferred date format.

Choose Your Chart Layout

To best showcase your timeline, Timeline Maker Pro lets you choose from 5 different timeline templates - bar chart, flag chart, vertical flag, gantt chart (project chart), and a chronology report.

Even better, Timeline Maker Pro is the only timeline software that lets you create as many different timeline charts as you like from the same set of data, eliminating duplication and data synchronization headaches.

Customize with Themes

Need to customize your timeline chart to better suit your project? No problem. Microsoft Office style ribbon menus always show you the right set of options to customize any element on your chart.

To save even more time, you can preview and select from a list of built-in themes. Don’t see what you like? Go online to download a theme from the Timeline Maker Theme Library.

Need a special theme? Create your own, save it and share it – all part of the Theme Management menu in Timeline Maker Pro.

Pick Your Timescale

Pick the timescale that best represents your data. Timeline Maker Pro allows you to select from a list of common business timescales such as years, quarters, months, weeks, days, minutes and seconds, in addition to the default “auto-scale” i.e. calendar dates. You always control the scale, the labels and the look. Check out the Timescale menu for all available options.

Time of Day and BC Dates

In addition to the usual calendar dates (select from a long list of date formats), you can optionally enter time of day in 12 or 24-hour format.

Timeline Maker Pro is the only timeline software that lets you enter BC dates if you need a macro view of world history, or enter time in as little as 1 second for planners, investigators and researchers who require that level of precision.

Interactive Presentations with or without PowerPoint

Presenting your timeline with Timeline Maker Pro is a breeze with the built-in interactive presentation mode. Microsoft PowerPoint is not required to make a professional presentation of your timeline.

Step through your timeline chart one event at a time, hover to show (pop-up) additional event information, or hot-link to external documents and files. Zoom and scroll makes it easy for large timeline charts.

If you do prefer PowerPoint, Timeline Maker Pro integration lets you send your timeline to a PowerPoint slide where all the same interactive timeline display features are available in your PowerPoint presentation.

Share Any Size Chart With Anyone

Share your timelines with your colleagues and clients using standard business functions, including copy and paste into other documents, print on any size paper, or email your timeline charts from within Timeline Maker Pro. You can even publish your timelines to a wide variety of graphic formats including HTML and PDF.
