Pie Chart Maker

Make a Pie Chart from Survey Results

Single-choice survey questions are what pie charts were made for. Each respondent picks exactly one option, the options cover everyone, and the chart answers the only question that matters: which answers dominated?

Export a summary from Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, Typeform, or a plain tally sheet, then paste the option names and counts here. Raw counts become percentages automatically, rounded so they sum to exactly 100, which is the kind of detail survey audiences check.

For 5-point scales, an ordered palette going from red through to green makes agreement levels readable at a glance. Pick a palette or set each slice's color by hand.

When to use it

  • Single-choice questions: "Which option do you prefer?"
  • Satisfaction and agreement scales with 5 or fewer points
  • Yes/no/unsure questions, the simplest pie there is
  • Demographic splits of respondents, like role or company size

Tips for a better chart

  • Do not use a pie for multi-select questions. Shares sum past 100 percent and the chart lies. Use bars for those.
  • Keep answer options in their logical order for scales, not sorted by size.
  • State the number of respondents in the chart title, like "How did we do? (n=214)".
  • If "Other" write-ins are under 5 percent, merge them into one slice with the grouping button.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get survey data into the chart?

Paste it. Copy the option names and response counts from your survey tool's summary or export, paste into the data table, and the chart builds itself. CSV upload works too.

Should I chart counts or percentages?

Enter counts and display percentages. The tool converts automatically, and you can show both on the labels. Keep the total response count in the title for honesty.

What about questions where people can pick multiple answers?

Skip the pie chart for those. When answers sum to more than 100 percent, slices misrepresent the data. A bar chart shows multi-select results correctly.

Can I make one chart per survey question quickly?

Yes. Build the first chart, save it, then edit the data for the next question and save again. Each saved chart keeps its own settings, and every chart has a shareable URL.
