KPI Cards
Transform your key performance indicators into stunning visual cards. Display revenue, users, conversions, and any metric that matters — with sparklines, trends, and progress bars that tell the story at a glance.
What are KPI Cards?
KPI Cards are compact, information-dense visual elements designed to communicate key business metrics instantly. Unlike traditional charts that show detailed data over time, KPI Cards focus on what matters right now — the current value, how it's trending, and whether you're on track.
Each card typically displays a metric title, the current value (like "$1.2M" or "45,231 users"), a change indicator ("+12.5%"), and an optional visual element such as a sparkline or progress bar.
