What is this pie chart maker?
Meiku Charts' free pie chart maker turns pasted labels and values into a live donut chart with percentages in the legend, ready to export as PNG or SVG or to embed on any page.
How to make a pie chart
- Paste your data, one label and one value per row, or load a CSV file.
- Pick a theme and a light or dark look; the chart redraws as you type.
- Download a PNG or SVG for a slide or document, copy the embed code for a web page, or copy a link that reopens the chart with your data.
When should you use a pie chart instead of a bar chart?
Use a pie chart when you have a few parts, ideally five or fewer, that add up to one whole and the point is each part's share. When readers need to compare similar sizes or many categories, a bar chart reads faster and more accurately.
Can I show percentages on a pie chart?
Yes. Enter the raw values and the maker works out each slice's share for you; the legend lists every label with its percentage. If your numbers are already percentages, paste them as they are and they still add up to the whole.
What is the difference between a pie chart and a donut chart?
A donut chart is a pie chart with the center cut out. Both show parts of a whole the same way; the ring is easier to compare by arc length and leaves room in the middle. This maker draws every pie as a donut.
Is this free and private?
Yes. This maker builds pie and donut charts in your browser. Your chart data stays on your device, with no signup or maker usage limit. Free PNG and SVG exports carry a meikucharts.com mark; Free embeds keep the “Made with Meiku Charts” credit. Pro removes these marks and lets you choose your own credit line or no credit. Cloudflare Web Analytics measures anonymous page views, sets no cookies and never sees chart data. Pro license checks are explained in our Privacy policy.
How do I activate Pro?
Copy your Pro key from the Polar customer portal using your checkout email address, then enter it in your account and select “Activate Pro”. For clean exports in another browser, select “Use Pro in this browser”. Follow How to turn on Pro for websites, exports and the AI connector.
How do I embed the chart on my own page?
Click “Copy embed” to copy a script tag plus a <live-chart> element carrying
your current spec as JSON. Paste it into any HTML page and the chart renders live — no build
step required. The embed loads one hosted file from meikucharts.com.
Can I export the chart as an image?
Yes. “Download PNG” renders the current chart onto an offscreen canvas at 2x resolution and downloads it — useful for slides, docs, or anywhere embedding live HTML isn’t practical.
