Free tool
Pie chart maker
Type or paste names and values. The percentages work themselves out, and the chart downloads as PNG or SVG.
Two columns are enough.
What a pie needs, and what the builder does with it.
- A name and a number
-
One row per slice. Type over the sample in the table, add rows, or clear one to drop it. Or switch to Text and paste two columns from a spreadsheet or a CSV file.
Source,Visits Search,4620 Direct,2310 - Percentages
-
Worked out for you: the legend gives each slice’s share of the total, to the nearest percent. Already have percentages? Type them with the % sign.
Search,46% Direct,23% - Values on the slices
-
Tick “Show values on the chart” under More settings, Style. A slice too thin for its number leaves it to the legend.
- Pie or donut
-
The same data either way. A donut prints the total in its hole.
- Up to six slices
-
With more than six values, the five largest keep their slices and the rest share one “Other”, so thin slivers don’t crowd the chart.
When a pie is the right chart.
And when another chart says it better.
- Parts of one whole
- A pie says “this is how the total splits”: a budget, where visits came from, how a survey answered. The slices should add up to something real.
- A few slices, clearly different
- Eyes judge angles loosely, so 31% and 34% look alike. With many categories or close values, a bar graph compares them better.
- One moment, not a trend
- A pie is a snapshot. To show shares changing month by month, use a line graph or stacked bars.

How do I make a pie chart with percentages?
Enter the plain numbers, like visits or hours. Each slice’s percentage of the total appears next to its name in the legend, so you don’t need to work anything out first.
My percentages don’t add up to 100. What happens?
Each slice is drawn as its share of whatever you entered, so the slices always fill the circle and the legend shows shares of your total. If your numbers were meant to add up to 100, look for a missing or repeated row.
Can I make a donut chart instead?
Yes. Choose Donut under Type. It uses the same data and prints the total in the middle.
How many slices can a pie chart have?
Up to six. With more than six values, the five largest keep their own slices, the rest are grouped as “Other”, and the builder says so. For more categories, a bar graph is easier to read.
Which size should I download?
Slide (1600 × 900) for a presentation, Email (600 × 300) as a PNG for a newsletter, and Square (1080 × 1080) for a social post, where the legend sits under the pie. Every size comes as PNG or SVG.
Is it free, and is my data uploaded?
Free, with no account. The chart is drawn in your browser, and nothing you type or paste is uploaded. An editor link carries all your data after the # in the address, which browsers never send to a server.
