Free Pie & Donut Chart Maker

Pie and donut charts show how parts make up a whole — market share, budgets, survey results, portfolio mix. FreeFlowCharts includes a free pie chart maker with automatic percentages, donut mode, templates, and API support.

When pie charts work well

  • 2–7 categories where proportions matter more than exact ranking.
  • Budget allocation and expense breakdowns.
  • Survey answer distributions and NPS-style summaries.
  • Portfolio or revenue mix snapshots for stakeholders.

When to choose something else

  • Many thin slices (more than ~8 categories) — consider a bar chart.
  • Comparing values that are nearly equal — bars show small differences better.
  • Time series — use line charts, not pie slices over time.

Editor features

  • Label, value, and color per slice with auto-calculated percentages.
  • Donut style toggle for a cleaner center and summary space.
  • Templates for market share, budget, and survey results.
  • Export and /api/create-piechart for automation.
