Best Use Cases for Pie Charts
Pie charts work when your audience needs a fast visual for composition. They answer questions like "What share does each category contribute?"
- Budget share: Allocation across teams or functions.
- Channel mix: Traffic or conversion share by source.
- Survey responses: Distribution across answer categories.
Simple Workflow
- Keep only categories that matter to one decision.
- Sort from largest to smallest for predictable scanning.
- Use strong contrast for the key segment and muted tones for others.
- Write a headline that states the dominant share clearly.
If This Chart Feels Crowded
Convert crowded pies to bar charts to preserve ranking clarity. For process context, combine with diagram maker visuals.
