How it works

How to make a pie 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.

The basics

What is a pie chart animation?

A pie chart animation is a short video of a pie chart building itself: the slices sweep round the circle one after another until it is whole, and each slice's percentage counts up as it arrives. Editors lay it over a video to show how something is split: a budget, a survey result, where income or traffic comes from.

This maker is a pie chart animation generator that runs in your browser. It builds the chart from the labels and values you type, from two slices up to eight, works out each slice's share, rounds the percentages so they add up to exactly 100, and lists them in a legend that fills in row by row as the slices land. Switch Shape to Donut and the chart becomes a ring with the total counting up in the middle.

A pie reads best with a handful of slices. If you have more than five or six, add the small ones together as Other, and set Slice order to Largest first so the slices run from biggest to smallest, clockwise from the top.

In your editor

Put the pie chart on your video.

An MP4 has no transparent background, so the pie chart comes ready to key. Set the background to green and remove it with chroma key.

How to add a pie chart in CapCut

Download the pie chart on a green background. In CapCut, drag it onto the track above your video so it sits on top as an overlay. Select it, open Video → Remove BG → Chroma key, pick the green with the color picker and raise Strength until the background is gone. Menu names move a little between CapCut versions; look for Chroma key.

How to add a pie chart in Premiere Pro

Put the pie chart on a video track above your footage. From the Effects panel, drag Ultra Key onto it and click the Key Color eyedropper on the green.

How to add a pie chart in DaVinci Resolve

Place the pie chart on the track above your footage. On the Edit page, open Effects → Open FX, find 3D Keyer under Resolve FX Key and drag it onto the clip, then sample the green in the viewer with the Open FX overlay switched on.

How to add a pie chart in Final Cut Pro

Connect the pie chart above your footage in the timeline. From the Effects browser, drag the Keyer effect onto it; it finds and removes the green by itself.

Questions

Pie chart animation: your questions, answered.

What is a pie chart animation?

A pie chart animation is a short video of a pie chart building itself: the slices sweep round the circle one after another, and each slice's percentage counts up as it arrives. It shows how a whole is split: a budget, a survey result, where income or traffic comes from.

How do I make an animated pie chart?

Type a label and a value for each slice into the pie chart maker at the top of this page, choose Pie or Donut, pick a look and a frame shape, and press Download. You get a 1080p MP4 made in your browser, with no sign-up and no watermark.

Do my values have to add up to 100?

No. Type any amounts, such as dollars, votes or hours, and the chart works out each slice's share of the total. If your numbers are already percentages, type them as they are.

Why do the percentages add up to exactly 100?

Because the rounding is done across the whole chart, not slice by slice. Rounding each share on its own can leave a legend that totals 99 or 101, so the maker rounds every share down and gives the points left over to the slices that lost the most.

How many slices can the pie chart have?

From 2 to 8. Each slice has a label of up to 18 characters and a value from 0 to 999,999,999, with up to two decimals. A slice too thin to see is drawn a little wider so it doesn't disappear.

Can I make a donut chart instead of a pie chart?

Yes. Set Shape to Donut. The chart becomes a ring in one of three thicknesses, and the middle shows the total counting up, the largest slice's percentage, or nothing.

Can I change the colors of the slices?

Yes, in two ways. Look colors gives every slice a color of its own from the look you picked. Shades steps a single color from light to dark: the look's own, or the Text color under Look once you set one, so you can have a chart in your own hue.

Can I show the percentages on the slices?

Yes. Turn on “Percentages on the slices” and each slice carries its percentage. A slice too small to hold the number goes without it, and the legend still lists every one.

Can I sort the slices from largest to smallest?

Yes. Set Slice order to Largest first and the slices run from biggest to smallest, clockwise from the top. As typed keeps them in the order of your table.

Can I hide the legend or the title?

Yes. Turn off “Show the legend” for the chart without its list, and clear the Title field to remove the heading. With both gone the chart sits alone in the middle of the frame, which is the simplest version to lay over footage.

How long is the pie chart video?

It opens at 5.5 seconds: half a second for the empty chart to draw in, 3 seconds for the slices and 2 seconds resting on the finished chart. Fill time runs from 1 to 10 seconds and the rest from 0 to 5.

Can I use the animated pie chart in PowerPoint or Google Slides?

Yes. It's a standard MP4, so it plays wherever a video does: add it to a slide like any other video, or put it on a timeline in any editor. Choose the 16:9 frame for a slide, where the legend sits beside the chart.

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.

Which browsers does it work in?

It needs a browser that can encode video with the WebCodecs API: current versions of Chrome, Edge and Safari, and Firefox on a computer. If your browser can't, the page tells you before you start.

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.
