What is Doughnut Chart Maker

Written by Giorgos Kostas. Last reviewed:

A doughnut chart is a pie chart with a hollow center. The hollow region makes labels easier to read and leaves room for a summary total or KPI in the middle.

Doughnut Chart Maker renders label/value data as a doughnut in your browser with configurable inner radius, palette, legend, and PNG or SVG export.

Why use it

  • Prefer the look of a doughnut over a pie without writing any code.
  • Adjust the inner radius to fit a KPI in the middle or make labels easier to scan.
  • Paste straight from a query result and export without uploads.
  • Match brand colors with one of five curated palettes.

Features

  • CSV and JSON input
  • Adjustable inner radius (10%–80%)
  • 5 color palettes
  • Legend toggle
  • PNG export
  • SVG export
  • Client-side rendering

How to use Doughnut Chart Maker

  1. Paste data. Paste label/value rows as CSV or JSON.
  2. Adjust ring. Slide the inner-radius control to taste.
  3. Export. Download PNG for docs or SVG for vector reuse.

Rendered doughnut chart

Doughnut chart with a 35% inner radius, five labeled arcs sized 46/22/18/9/5, rendered as SVG ready for PNG export.

Common errors

Inner radius too wide

Setting the inner radius above 75% leaves almost no area for slices.

Fix: Keep the inner radius around 30%–55% unless you are layering a KPI in the center.

Empty series

If every value is zero, no arcs are drawn.

Fix: Provide at least one positive value so the chart has something to render.

FAQ

What is a good inner-radius value?

Around 35% is a safe default. Go up to 55% if you need more label room, or down to 20% to keep slices readable.

Can I put a number in the middle?

This tool exports the doughnut itself; layer a text element over the exported SVG in your design tool to add a KPI in the hollow center.

Is it any different from a pie chart?

Visually yes; mathematically no. Doughnut and pie charts share the same underlying proportional arcs.
