FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a nested donut chart maker?
A nested donut chart maker is an online tool that lets you build ring-shaped proportion charts where the center is hollow. MakeCharts gives you dedicated controls for inner radius, slice padding, corner radius, and label placement so you can fine-tune every detail of your donut chart without a design background.
Is this donut chart maker free?
Yes — the core nested donut chart maker is completely free with no sign-up required. You can add slices, customize colors and labels, and download your chart as a PNG. Paid plans unlock SVG export, embed codes, CSV upload, and additional AI chart credits.
How is a donut chart different from a pie chart?
A donut chart has a hollow center, created by setting an inner radius greater than zero. This ring format often feels less visually heavy than a filled pie chart and leaves room for a total value or summary label in the middle. Both chart types show part-to-whole relationships; the donut version is simply easier to read when you have many similar-sized slices.
Can I make a multi-ring or nested donut chart?
MakeCharts is built for single-ring donut charts with full control over inner radius, outer radius, and slice styling. For a layered nested donut effect, you can adjust the inner and outer radius to create a specific ring thickness that suggests hierarchy within your data.
How do I use AI to generate a donut chart?
Type a description of the proportions you want to visualize — for example, 'Sales split: North 40%, South 25%, East 20%, West 15%' — and the AI will create a labeled, color-coded donut chart for you. You then use the config panel to refine any settings before downloading.
What label options does the donut chart maker support?
You can display the slice name, its raw value, its percentage, or combinations like name + value or name + percent. Labels can be positioned inside the ring, outside with a connecting line, or turned off entirely for a minimal look.
Can I export my donut chart for a presentation?
Yes. Download your donut chart as a high-resolution PNG for immediate use in PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote, or Word documents. SVG export — which scales perfectly at any size — is available on paid plans.
How many slices can I add to my donut chart?
You can add as many slices as your data requires using the 'Add slice' button in the data panel. For readability, most donut charts work best with 3 to 8 segments. The color picker lets you assign a distinct color to each slice to keep them easy to tell apart.
