Donut chart best practices
Emphasize the story behind your data by pairing a clean layout with purposeful annotations and colors.
Group small categories together
If several slices are below five percent each, combine them into an “Other” segment. This keeps the chart readable and ensures important categories remain visible.
Apply a purposeful color story
Leverage contrasting hues for key segments and cohesive tints for supporting categories. Consistent palettes help stakeholders understand the data at a glance.

Frequently asked questions
Learn how the donut chart maker handles data, customization, and exporting before you dive in.
What is a donut chart used for?
A donut chart highlights how each category contributes to a whole while leaving space in the center for a total or contextual note. It is ideal when you want a compact proportional view without dedicating the entire area to slices.
How do I add data to the donut chart maker?
Import a CSV file or enter labels and values directly in the spreadsheet. Every edit updates the visualization instantly, so you can experiment without losing momentum.
Can I customize the look of my donut chart?
Yes. Tweak slice colors, border radius, labels, and hole size to match your brand guidelines or presentation theme. You can also switch to a pie-style view with a single click if you prefer a filled circle.
Will my data stay private?
Absolutely. All processing happens in your browser and nothing is uploaded or stored on our servers.
