Sunburst chart templates
Browse sunburst chart templates for hierarchical part-to-whole views, nested categories, and radial treemaps. Each preview opens in the editor with sample parent-child values you can replace with your own tree data.
Browse sunburst chart layouts
Sunburst chart templates display nested rings where each arc segment represents a branch of a hierarchy—product catalogs, org structures, or file system breakdowns. Gallery layouts include label strategies, color inheritance, and drill-friendly ring spacing so inner and outer levels stay distinguishable.
Click a template to open the editor with a representative tree already mapped to radii and angles. Paste JSON-like rows, edit parent-child tables, or import structured data, then adjust palette and emphasis on key branches before exporting.
Copy emphasizes template discovery—browsing previews and opening layouts—not competing with a future sunburst maker page for generator queries. Use this gallery to compare radial hierarchy styles first.
Inner-ring labels and outer-ring tooltips differ across previews. Choose a template whose text strategy matches whether your audience reads the chart on a slide or explores it interactively in a browser.

Popular template layouts for this chart type
Product category hierarchy template
Start from a multi-ring layout when revenue or units need to roll up from SKU to family to division on one graphic.

Pick templates with a clear center node when depicting one company tree with departments radiating outward.
Balanced label density
Gallery options vary in how many levels show text versus tooltips—choose based on slide space and audience.
Color-by-branch presets
Templates assign hues per top-level branch; tweak saturation in the editor to highlight strategic segments.
Radial hierarchy export
Finalize ring thickness and inner radius, then save PNG or SVG for dashboards or methodology appendices.
Reuse sunburst templates across decks
Bookmark a gallery layout and reopen it each quarter with updated hierarchy values while keeping the same ring styling.
How to use a sunburst chart template
- Select a sunburst template whose depth and label style fit your hierarchy.
- Open the preview and replace parent-child names and values with your tree data.
- Refine colors, inner radius, and level labels, then export the chart.
Frequently asked questions
- How deep can sunburst templates nest levels?
- Samples include several rings. Very deep trees may need shorter labels or tooltips—merge minor leaves in the editor if outer rings crowd together.
- Can I highlight one branch in a template?
- Yes. After opening a layout, adjust colors or emphasis on specific nodes without changing the underlying hierarchy structure.
- What is the difference between sunburst and treemap templates?
- Sunburst templates use concentric rings; treemap templates use nested rectangles. Pick the gallery family that matches how your audience reads part-to-whole data.
- Why focus on templates here?
- This page helps you pick a radial layout quickly. A dedicated maker URL can own longer creation guides without keyword overlap.
- Do sunburst templates support drill-down in the editor?
- Layouts load the full tree at once. You can hide branches by editing values or collapsing minor leaves before export if the preview feels too busy.
