Can I create both pie charts and donut charts?

Yes. AECharts supports both pie and donut charts. Switch between them with one click and adjust the donut hole size to fit your design. Both types support full customization of colors, animations, and styling.

How many slices can a pie chart have?

Five to seven is optimal for readability. Beyond that, thin slices become hard to distinguish. For larger datasets, consider a bar chart instead.

Can I import data from Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Copy your data from any spreadsheet and paste it directly into the editor. AECharts formats it automatically — no CSV uploads or reformatting needed.

What export formats are available?

MP4 at 1080p and 60fps for social media and presentations. PNG for static image exports. All rendering happens in your browser — your data never leaves your device.

Can I customize animation speed?

Yes. Control animation duration and timing from the style panel. Adjust the speed to match your presentation's pace.

Do I need design skills?

No. Templates are professionally designed. Paste your data, adjust colors if needed, and export. Most users create their first animated pie chart in under a minute.

Can I use custom brand colors?

Yes. Every slice color is individually customizable via hex value. Adjust label colors, background, and font to match your brand.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. All features are free with unlimited image exports. Video exports at 1080p require a Pro plan at $19/month or $190/year. No credit card required to start.

Can I add percentages and labels automatically?

Yes. AECharts calculates percentages from your values and positions labels to avoid overlaps. Control visibility, position, and styling from the editor.

Can I use a pie chart in a PowerPoint presentation?

Yes. Export as MP4, then insert via Insert → Video → This Device. Set it to autoplay when the slide appears. The chart plays as a video within the presentation.

When to Use a Pie Chart

Pie charts work best for part-to-whole data with a small number of categories — where the proportion is the story.

Market Share

Show competitor distribution or product portfolio splits. The slice sizes make relative position immediately obvious.

Budget Breakdown

Present spending categories and cost allocation. Familiar format for financial stakeholders.

Portfolio Allocation

Show investment splits across asset classes. The visual makes diversification easy to communicate.

Survey Results

Visualize response distribution across a fixed set of options. Works well in reports and social posts.

Revenue Mix

Show income by product line, geography, or segment. A donut puts the total in the center for extra context.

Resource Distribution

Represent team time allocation or capacity planning. A pie chart communicates proportion at a glance.

Pie Chart vs Donut Chart: Which Should You Use?

Both show part-to-whole data — but they have different strengths.

Pie Chart

Best for: Simple proportions with 3–5 categories where you want to emphasize the full circle.

Strength: Familiar format — works well in classic presentations and editorial contexts.

Use when: You don't have a center metric worth showing.

Donut Chart

Best for: KPI dashboards and investor decks where the center can show a total or percentage.

Strength: More modern aesthetic — the center space adds information density.

Use when: You have a headline metric that gives the segments context.

AECharts supports both. Switch between pie and donut to find the right format for your data.
