Nested Ring Chart Maker

A nested ring chart — also called a sunburst chart or multi-level pie chart — displays hierarchical data as concentric rings. The center represents the root, and each outer ring shows the next level of children. Segment size reflects the relative value of each node, making it easy to compare parts of a whole across multiple levels at once.

A nested ring chart maker is used to visualize any data with a parent-child structure: budgets broken down by department and cost center, organizational hierarchies, file system usage, biological taxonomies, and more. It helps audiences see both the big picture and the detail in a single glance.

Yes. All 50+ chart types, including sunburst charts, are free to use and customize. You can download and share your nested ring chart without a paid plan. Paid plans unlock more AI credits, file upload, embedding, and priority support.

Enter your root node name, then use the tree editor to add child and grandchild nodes with values. Adjust colors, labels, and inner radius in the config panel on the left. Your sunburst chart updates live in the preview panel. When satisfied, click download to export as PNG or SVG.

Yes. You can paste hierarchical data from a spreadsheet directly into the data editor. Pro users can also upload CSV or Excel files and have MakeCharts automatically map the columns to the nested ring chart structure.

They are the same thing — 'sunburst chart,' 'nested ring chart,' and 'multi-level pie chart' all describe the same visualization: concentric rings where each level represents a tier of a hierarchy. The name differs by industry and tool; the chart structure is identical.

Yes. Every account includes free AI credits. Describe your data in plain language — for example, 'show global revenue split by continent and country' — and the AI will generate a ready-made sunburst chart with nodes, values, and colors already set up. You can then refine it manually.

Click the download button to save your nested ring chart as a PNG or SVG file. You can also copy a shareable link and send it directly to colleagues. Plus and Pro users can generate an embed code to display the live chart on any webpage.

MakeCharts supports multiple hierarchy levels — root, children, grandchildren, and beyond. Practically, two to four levels tend to produce the most readable sunburst charts. Beyond five levels, segments become too narrow to label effectively, though you can hide labels for small arcs using the minimum arc degree setting.

Absolutely. Use the Color Palette section to add, remove, or replace colors in your palette. Switch between 'By category' mode (each top-level node gets its own color family) and 'By level' mode (each ring tier shares a consistent shade) to match your brand or presentation style.
