How do I make a waffle chart online?

Choose single percentage and set a value, or choose multiple categories and add values that fill the same grid. Pick squares or dots and a color, and the waffle updates live. Then download a PNG or SVG. There's no signup.

Can I use dots instead of squares?

Yes. Switch the shape to dots for an icon-array look, the 'X out of 100' style that works well for people-based stats and adoption graphics. Squares give the classic waffle block.

Can I download the waffle chart as PNG or SVG?

Yes, both are free with no watermark. SVG gives you a crisp vector file you can scale or edit; PNG is a high-resolution raster ready for a slide, report, or social post.

Can I generate waffle charts automatically via an API?

Yes. Save your chart as an Imejis template, mark the waffle component dynamic, and POST a fresh value or category data to one endpoint to render the same chart on every call.

Is the waffle chart maker free?

Yes, it's completely free in the browser with no signup and no watermark, and PNG and SVG downloads are unlimited. The matching image API has a permanent free tier of 100 calls per month.

What is a waffle chart?

A waffle chart shows part-to-whole data as a grid of cells, where the number of filled cells equals the proportion. It's often clearer than a pie chart because you can read a percentage at a glance, even at social-post sizes, and dots turn it into an icon-array 'X out of 100' visual.
