FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a half donut chart?
A half donut chart (also called a semi circle donut chart) is a donut chart where the arc spans 180° instead of a full 360°. It looks like the top half of a ring and is commonly used as a gauge or to show proportions in a compact dashboard layout.
How do I make a half donut chart with this tool?
Add your slices in the data panel, then open 'General settings' and set Start angle to 180 and End angle to 0. The preview updates instantly to show your semi circle donut chart. Adjust inner radius and label position to finish.
Is the half donut chart maker really free?
Yes — all 50+ chart styles including the donut are free to use with no account required. You can download PNG images and share links without paying. Pro plans unlock CSV upload, more AI credits, and SVG export.
Can I use this as a semi circle donut chart maker?
Absolutely. The same tool handles both full donut and semi circle configurations. Just set the start and end angles to create any arc you need — a true 180° semicircle or any partial donut in between.
What label options are available for the donut chart?
You can display the slice name, numeric value, percentage, or combinations like 'Name + percent'. Labels can appear inside the arc or on connecting lines outside it, and font size is fully adjustable.
Can the AI generate a half donut chart for me?
Yes. Describe your data in the prompt box — for example, 'Show market share for four brands' — and the AI will create a donut chart with appropriate slices, colors, and labels. You can then fine-tune it manually.
How do I export or share my donut chart?
Click the download button to save a PNG or SVG file. You can also copy a shareable link or, on Plus and Pro plans, grab an embed snippet to add the chart to any website.
Does the donut chart maker work on mobile?
Yes — MakeCharts is fully responsive and works on phones, tablets, and desktops. You can build and export a half donut chart from any device without installing anything.
Can I add rounded corners to my donut slices?
Yes. The 'Corner radius' setting in General settings rounds the tips of each slice for a softer, more modern look. Combine it with 'Padding angle' to add spacing between slices.
What is the difference between a donut chart and a pie chart?
A donut chart has a hollow center, while a pie chart is solid. The hollow center of a donut makes it easier to read individual slices and leaves room to display a total or key metric in the middle. A half donut takes this further by using only a 180° arc.
