The lines of time (or timelines, in English) are a good resource to show events chronologically in a very visual way. Today we bring you a list of tools with which you can easily create timelines.
Timelines are very versatile for all types of documents and projects, although normal office applications generally do not make their creation much easier. In our list, you will find tools to create timelines that you can integrate into the web, in a document, or save as an image.
Timeline.js
Timeline.js is one of the oldest timeline creation tools that is still functional today, designed to create timelines that you can include in other web pages. It is open source and ready to get the data from a Google spreadsheet or JSON files. To accompany the information, you can import photos and videos from YouTube, Flickr, Vimeo, Twitter, and more.
