Pie chart layouts and chart types

Start from a layout that matches your story—classic pie, donut ring, rose chart, or half doughnut—then open any example in the editor.

  • Basic pie chart
    Show how a total splits across a handful of categories. Ideal for market share, budget mix, or survey response breakdowns with five slices or fewer.
    Open basic pie chart
  • Donut chart
    Use a ring layout when you want space in the center for a headline metric, title, or callout while slices show composition around it.
    Open donut chart
  • Half doughnut chart
    Fit a semicircle gauge-style graphic into tight dashboard tiles. Useful when vertical space is limited but you still need a part-to-whole view.
    Open half doughnut chart
  • Rose pie chart (Nightingale)
    Let radius as well as angle encode magnitude when categories differ widely in size. Rose layouts help when slice angles alone would look too similar.
    Open rose pie chart
  • Rounded donut chart
    Soften slice corners for a modern slide aesthetic. Adjust inner radius and pad angle between slices in the Series panel after opening the template.

Popular use cases for pie charts

Pie and donut charts work when viewers need a quick sense of share. These are common workflows teams build with the editor and export for decks or reports.

  • Market share and revenue mix
    Show how revenue or customers split across products, regions, or segments. Keep slice count low so the largest shares read at a glance.
  • Survey and poll results
    Present response percentages for multiple-choice questions. Label slices with category names and percentages for stakeholder summaries.
  • Budget and spend allocation
    Visualize how a total budget divides across departments or cost centers. Donut layouts leave room for the total amount in the center.
  • Traffic and channel attribution
    Break down visits or leads by source—organic, paid, email, social—and highlight the dominant channel with color contrast.
  • Portfolio or asset composition
    Illustrate allocation across asset classes, project phases, or inventory categories when the story is proportional, not trend-based.
  • Executive one-slide summaries
    Export PNG or PDF when a single graphic must communicate composition without a full dashboard. Templates speed up recurring quarterly updates.

Editor features for pie charts

Templates, styling controls, and export options to move from raw breakdown data to a clear part-to-whole chart quickly.

  • Pie and donut templates
    Jumpstart from ready-made layouts—classic pie, doughnut, rose, half ring, and rounded donut examples you can open in one click.
  • Slice styling
    Tune colors, borders, pad angle, label format, and legend placement so the chart matches your deck or dashboard.
  • Percentage labels
    Display each slice as a percent of the total on the chart or in the legend—useful for survey results, budget splits, and market-share slides.
  • Data import
    Bring spreadsheet data in through CSV upload or paste, then bind name and value columns to slices in the editor.
  • AI-assisted setup
    Describe the breakdown you need and generate sample rows, then refine values before rendering the chart.
  • Export and share
    Save PNG, SVG, or PDF files for presentations, documentation, and social posts.

What is a pie chart?

A pie chart—or pie graph, circle chart, or pie diagram—divides a circle into slices so each segment shows one category’s share of a total. The full ring represents 100%; slice angle (and radius in rose layouts) reflects how large each part is.

Online pie chart makers let you enter values instead of drawing arcs by hand. Paste a name-and-value table or import CSV, and the editor calculates slice sizes and optional percentage labels automatically.

Pie charts work best with a small number of segments—roughly two to seven—when differences between shares are easy to see. They fit market share, budget mix, and survey breakdowns where viewers need a quick part-to-whole read.

Pie chart vs bar chart vs donut chart

Use a pie chart when you have a small number of categories that sum to a meaningful whole and the story is about share, not exact rank order. Bar charts read faster when you compare many categories or need precise length comparisons at one point in time.

Donut charts use the same slice data as pies but add an inner hole for titles or headline metrics. Rose charts vary slice radius when values differ widely. In BeCharts you can switch layouts from any pie template and export PNG, SVG, or PDF when the graphic is ready.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a pie chart online?
Click "Make your pie chart" or open any template on this page. Enter slice names and values in the data table, or import CSV, then adjust colors and labels before exporting PNG, SVG, or PDF from the toolbar.
Is this a free pie chart creator?
Yes. The online pie chart maker and templates are free to use without a credit card or account. Export options are available from the editor toolbar.
Can I make a pie chart with percentages on the labels?
Yes. Enable labels in the Series panel and choose a percentage format so each slice shows its share of the total. You can place names, values, or percents on slices or in an outside legend.
How do I make my own pie chart from scratch?
Open a pie or donut template, delete the sample rows, and type your categories and values. The chart rebuilds as you edit, so you can start from an empty table without redrawing the circle.
Can I start from a blank pie chart?
Yes. Templates load with sample data for reference—clear those rows in the dataset table to get a blank starter chart, then add your own slices and export when finished.
What is the difference between a pie chart and a pie graph?
They mean the same chart type. "Pie graph," "circle chart," and "pie diagram" are common synonyms in search; BeCharts uses one editor for all of them.
Can I create a pie chart from CSV?
Yes. Import a CSV from the dataset panel with name and value columns. You can edit cells after import and turn on percentage labels before exporting.
How many slices should a pie chart have?
Most pie charts read clearly with about five slices. Combine very small segments into an "Other" category if labels overlap or slices become too thin.
What is the difference between a pie chart and a donut chart?
Both use the same slice data. A donut chart adds an inner radius for a center title or metric. Adjust inner radius in the Series panel or start from a donut template.
Is this a pie chart percentage calculator?
The editor calculates each slice’s percentage from the values you enter and can display those percents on the chart. It is not a standalone calculator page—you build the full graphic and export it.
When should I use a bar chart instead of a pie chart?
Use bars when you compare many categories or need exact rank comparisons. Pie charts fit when categories are parts of one whole and you want a quick share read with few segments.
Does BeCharts support 3D pie charts?
No. This pie chart maker focuses on flat 2D pies, donuts, rose, and half-doughnut layouts with clean export for slides and reports.
What file formats can I export?
PNG and SVG are supported for digital use, and PDF for documents. Exports reflect the styles and percentage labels you set in the editor.
