Frequently Asked Questions
Is the IPA Vowel Chart Generator free?
Yes — completely free, no signup, no account, no usage limits.
Is my data private?
Yes — all processing runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
Can I export the chart?
Yes — as SVG (scalable) or PNG. SVG is preferred for papers and slides; both export with the IPA labels and axis grid intact.
Why a trapezoid?
The IPA vowel chart is conventionally drawn as a trapezoid because it represents the physical shape of the human oral cavity from above — high front vowels are at the upper-left, low back vowels at the lower-right.
