The basics

What is a donut chart animation?

A donut chart animation is a video of a pie chart with a hole in the middle: the ring fills slice by slice, and the hole holds one number, usually the total, counting up as the ring closes. It suits a breakdown where the whole matters as much as the parts: a budget, a day, a round of funding.

This one opens on a monthly budget: five slices on a medium ring, with $3,200 counting up in the middle over the caption Per month. Swap the rows for your own, pick a thin or a thick ring, and choose what sits in the middle: the total, the largest slice's percentage, or nothing at all.

The middle is the reason to pick a donut over a pie, so give it the one figure you want remembered. Put a currency sign or a unit before or after the total, and change the caption to say what the number is.

To put it on your video, see how to add a pie chart in CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.

How it works

How to make a donut chart animation.

Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.

  1. 1

    Type your slices

    Give each slice a label and a value, from two slices up to eight. The values can be amounts or percentages: the chart works out each slice's share and rounds the percentages so they add up to 100. Add a title above it.

  2. 2

    Choose pie or donut

    A pie fills the whole circle. A donut is a ring with a figure in the middle: the total, or the largest slice. Turn the legend and the percentages on the slices on or off, and pick how the slices are colored.

  3. 3

    Set the timing and the look

    Fill time is how long the slices take to sweep in, from 1 to 10 seconds. Then pick one of six looks and a typeface, or set your own text and background colors: green if you'll lay the chart over footage.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

    Press Download. The video is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device, usually in a few seconds. No account, no watermark.

When a pie chart isn’t enough

The free pie chart is the starting point.

Here you get a clean chart on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you actually want in plain English, like “a donut chart of where my $12,400 came from, each slice filling in as I name it”, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the exact word you say. You can attach your data, a screenshot or your logo, and change anything by asking in the chat.

Questions

Donut chart animation: your questions, answered.

How do I make an animated donut chart?

This page opens on one. Type your own labels and values into the Slices table, change the title and the caption, and press Download. You get a 1080p MP4 of the ring filling slice by slice, with no watermark.

Can I show the total in the middle of the donut chart?

Yes. With In the middle set to Total, the maker adds up your values and counts the sum up as the ring fills. You can put up to four characters before and after it, such as $ or K, and a caption of up to 16 characters under it.

Can the middle show a percentage instead of the total?

Yes. Set In the middle to Largest slice and it shows the biggest slice's percentage, with that slice's label under it. Choose Nothing to leave the hole empty.

Can I make the donut ring thinner or thicker?

Yes. Ring thickness has three settings: Thin, Medium and Thick. A thin ring leaves the most room for the figure in the middle.

What is the difference between a donut chart and a pie chart?

A donut chart is a pie chart with the middle cut out. The slices show the same shares either way; the hole gives a donut room for a headline number. Shape switches between the two without changing your data.

Is the pie chart maker free?

Yes. It's free to use and free to download, with no account, no email address and no watermark on the video. There's no limit on how many you make.

What format and resolution is the video?

An MP4 with H.264 video, at 1080p in the shape you choose: 1080×1920 (9:16) for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1920×1080 (16:9) for YouTube, 1080×1080 (1:1), or 1080×1350 (4:5) for the Instagram feed. You can export at 30 or 60 frames per second.

Can I get the pie chart with a transparent background?

MP4 can't store transparency, so the pie chart comes ready to key instead. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key in your editor. Only the pie chart is left over your footage.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The pie chart is drawn and encoded on your own device, using your browser's built-in video encoder. Nothing is sent to a server and there's no render queue.

Can I use the pie chart in client work, ads or monetized videos?

Yes. The video you download is yours to use in personal and commercial projects, with no attribution needed.

Can I match my brand, add my logo or change the design?

Not in the free maker, which is deliberately simple. That's what Rescroll's AI motion graphics are for: describe the graphic you want in plain English, attach your logo, fonts or a screenshot of your style, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the word you say. Ask for any change in the chat. It's part of the Pro, Ultimate and Scale plans.
