Understanding when to use doughnut charts versus other visualization types for optimal data presentation
Doughnut Charts

Pie Charts

Bar Charts
Excellent for comparing discrete categories and values. Use when precise value comparison is more important than showing proportional relationships.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our doughnut chart maker and doughnut chart creation
What is a doughnut chart maker?
A doughnut chart maker is an online tool that helps you create doughnut charts (also called donut charts) to visualize proportional data with a hollow center. Our free doughnut chart maker allows you to input data segments and instantly generate professional-looking doughnut charts perfect for showing part-to-whole relationships with enhanced visual appeal and center space for additional information.
How is a doughnut chart different from a pie chart?
While both doughnut charts and pie charts show proportional data, doughnut charts have a hollow center that creates a more modern appearance and provides space for additional information like totals or key metrics. Our doughnut chart maker allows you to adjust the cutout size, making it versatile for different design needs. Doughnut charts also tend to be easier to read when displaying many small segments.
Can I customize the center hole size?
Yes! Our doughnut chart maker includes a cutout slider that lets you adjust the inner hole size from 20% to 80%. A smaller cutout creates a thicker ring with more emphasis on the data segments, while a larger cutout creates a thinner ring with more center space for labels or additional information.
How many segments can I add to my doughnut chart?
Our doughnut chart maker supports unlimited segments. However, for optimal readability and visual clarity, we recommend keeping the number of segments reasonable - typically between 3-8 segments work best. Too many small segments can make the chart difficult to read and understand.
Can I choose different colors for each segment?
Absolutely! Our doughnut chart maker provides individual color control for each segment. You can use the color picker or enter hex codes to match your brand colors or create visually appealing color schemes. We also provide a default color palette to get you started quickly.
Is this doughnut chart maker free to use?
Yes, our doughnut chart maker is completely free to use with no hidden costs, watermarks, or signup requirements. Create and download unlimited doughnut charts in multiple formats including PNG, JPG, and PDF. We believe everyone should have access to professional data visualization tools.
What export formats are available?
Our doughnut chart maker supports three popular export formats: PNG for high-quality images with transparency support, JPG for smaller file sizes and universal compatibility, and PDF for professional documents and printing. All exports maintain the high quality and colors of your doughnut chart design.
