Frequently Asked Questions
What is a waffle chart?
A grid of squares where the filled ones represent your value — 37 filled out of 100 means 37%. It makes a proportion countable rather than estimated, which is why it beats a pie for precise percentages.
Can I change the grid size?
Yes. 10×10 makes each square worth exactly 1%, which is the easiest to read. 5×5 makes each square 4% and suits smaller graphics. Rows layout stretches the grid for banner shapes.
Can I show more than one category?
Yes. Give each category its own colour and the squares split proportionally — a budget breakdown across Housing, Food, Transport, Savings, and Other reads clearly this way.
When is a waffle chart better than a pie chart?
When the exact percentage matters. People misjudge pie slice angles but can count squares. Waffles also stay readable at small sizes and are friendlier to colourblind readers when you label the blocks.
Can I edit the labels directly?
Yes — click the title, a category name, or a value on the chart and type. The preview is exactly what the PNG contains.
What themes are available?
Ocean, Sunset, Forest, Violet, and Midnight. Each sets the filled and empty square colours together so the unfilled grid stays visible without competing with the data.
What sizes does it export?
Square 1080×1080, landscape 1280×960, and portrait 1080×1350 for feeds and Pinterest. PNG is free with no watermark.
