A pie chart with a hole. Cleaner for KPI dashboards.
Donut charts (also spelled doughnut) are pie charts with a hole in the middle. The hole gives you space for a key metric. They read cleaner than pies in dashboards and on mobile. Paste any breakdown and LLMVIZ generates the donut.

Frequently asked questions
What is a donut chart used for?
Donut charts shine in dashboards and reports. They show a part-of-whole relationship while keeping the center available for a label, total, or icon. They feel more modern than pies and read well on mobile.
What is the difference between a pie chart and a donut chart?
They show the same thing: proportions of a whole. The donut has a hole in the middle for a center label (like "$4.2M / $8M raised") and tends to look cleaner in dashboards. If you don't need the center label, a pie chart works just as well.
