FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a circular progress chart?
A circular progress chart (also called a radial bar chart or progress ring) uses arcs arranged in concentric rings to show how far each metric has progressed toward its target. Each ring represents one category, and the arc length corresponds to its value or percentage. They are ideal for dashboards, KPI reports, and goal-tracking visuals.
Is this circular progress chart maker really free?
Yes — MakeCharts is free to use with no sign-up required. You can create, customize, and download circular progress charts at no cost. Paid plans unlock AI chart credits, file uploads, embed codes, and higher export limits.
How do I make a circular progress chart online?
Open the MakeCharts radial chart maker, add your metric names and percentage values, adjust the arc angles and bar thickness in the config panel, and download or share the result. The whole process takes under two minutes. You can also type a description and let the AI build the chart for you.
Can I create a progress ring chart for a dashboard?
Absolutely. Use the embed code feature (Plus and above) to place a live circular progress chart directly on any website or internal dashboard. You can also download a PNG or SVG and drop it into Notion, Confluence, or any BI tool.
What is the difference between a radial chart and a donut chart?
A donut chart shows one set of part-to-whole proportions in a single ring. A radial bar chart stacks multiple rings — one per category — allowing you to compare progress across several metrics simultaneously. The MakeCharts radial tool supports both styles via the inner radius setting.
Can I show percentages on my circular progress chart?
Yes. The label content setting lets you display the metric name, raw value, percentage, or combinations like 'Name, Percent'. You can position labels inside or outside each arc for the clearest layout.
What file formats can I export the circular chart in?
Free users can download charts as PNG. Paid plans unlock SVG downloads for lossless, infinitely scalable output. SVG is ideal for print, large-format displays, and embedding in web pages with crisp rendering at any size.
Does the AI circular progress chart generator support custom colors?
Yes. Each metric segment has its own color picker. You can manually assign brand colors or let the AI suggest a palette. Colors update live in the preview so you always see the final result before exporting.
