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.

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. Edit parent-child nodes in the tree panel, fetch REST Countries sample data, then adjust palette and emphasis on key branches before exporting.
Use this gallery to compare radial hierarchy styles, then open the sunburst chart maker for a full walkthrough with FAQs and export tips.
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.

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.
- Where is the full sunburst chart generator guide?
- Open the sunburst chart maker for step-by-step how-to copy, search-intent tips, and export FAQs. This templates page focuses on picking a layout preview.
- 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.
