Animated Pie Chart Maker
A donut chart that sweeps itself into existence — slice by slice, with percentage callouts and a counting center total.
Share-of-total is the question behind half of business storytelling: where does the money come from, who owns the market, how does the budget split. Chartimator animates it as a donut sweep — slices draw in clockwise, each landing with a label and percentage callout, while the total counts up in the center.
Slices are capped at six so every segment stays readable on a phone screen; smaller categories belong in an "Other" slice.
What makes it work
Clockwise sweep
Slices animate in sequence with a subtle gap between segments for clean separation.
Percentage callouts
Each slice gets its label and percent placed outside the ring — no legend required.
Counting center total
The donut hole shows the total counting up as slices land.
Readable by design
Six-slice cap and validated color palettes keep every segment distinguishable, including for colorblind viewers.
How it works

Labels and values — percentages or raw numbers both work.

Frequently asked questions
Pie chart or donut chart — which does Chartimator make?
A donut (ring) chart — the center hole hosts the counting total, which reads better on video than a solid pie.
Why only six slices?
Beyond six, slices become indistinguishable at phone size and colors lose contrast. Fold smaller categories into an "Other" slice — your viewers will thank you.
Do values need to add up to 100?
No — Chartimator computes percentages from whatever values you enter.
Can I animate market share changing over time?
For change over time, use the bar chart race scene — it's a far more readable way to show shifting shares than a morphing pie.
