They’re hated by some. So we made them extra appealing.
We thought a lot about our design defaults to make our pie charts a joy to look at – and to create.
Our pie charts are readable on desktop devices as well as on smartphones. That’s because our charts adjust depending on their width: The color key moves up, otherwise overlapping labels disappear, and the font size stays readable.

As soon as you upload your data, you will see a beautiful pie chart – but every data set is different, and we want to help you communicate it best.
Changing the colors? The size? The sorting? If your values should show up as relative or absolute values? It’s all possible. Just click around until you’re happy.

Labels are important for your readers to make sense of your chart. But different labels might work differently well for different data sets.
So we offer three label options:
- labels directly in the pie slices
- labels as a color key
- labels that are connected to your pie slices with lines
