What is a Pie Chart?
A pie chart is a circular statistical graphic divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportions. Each slice represents a category and its size is proportional to the percentage it represents of the whole. Pie charts are one of the most popular ways to visualize data because they make it easy to see the relative sizes of different categories at a glance.
When to Use Pie Charts
- ✓Part-to-Whole Relationships: Show how different parts make up a whole, like budget allocation or market share.
- ✓Percentage Distribution: Display how percentages add up to 100%, such as survey results or demographic data.
- ✓Limited Categories: Work best with 2-5 categories; too many slices make the chart hard to read.
- ✓Presentations: Ideal for business presentations, reports, and infographics where visual impact matters.
- ✓Quick Comparisons: Allow viewers to quickly understand the relative proportions of different segments.

Tips for Effective Pie Charts
1. Limit Categories: Use no more than 5-6 slices. Too many slices make the chart confusing and hard to read.
2. Use Contrasting Colors: Choose colors that are visually distinct from each other to make slices easy to differentiate.
3. Start at 12 O'Clock: Arrange slices starting from the top and going clockwise for better readability.
4. Include Percentages: Always show percentages so viewers understand the exact proportion each slice represents.
5. Add a Legend: Include a legend to clearly identify what each color represents, especially for presentations.
6. Use Descriptive Labels: Make sure category names are clear and concise for easy understanding.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are pie chart percentages calculated?
Each slice's share is its value divided by the total, times 100. For values 40, 35 and 25 the total is 100, so the slices are 40%, 35% and 25%, covering 144°, 126° and 90° of the circle.
Can I import data from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Paste or import CSV with a label and a value on each row, and the chart updates with one slice per row.
Which export formats are supported?
PNG for documents and slides, SVG for crisp scaling on the web and in design tools, and CSV for the underlying data.
When should I not use a pie chart?
When there are more than about 5–7 categories, when the values are close to each other, or when you want to compare changes over time. A bar chart is easier to read in those cases.
Is my data saved?
Yes, the chart data is saved so it is still there when you return.
