How to use the Infographic Maker
- Choose a vertical or horizontal canvas and a template for your topic: statistics, comparison, timeline, process, education, business report or step-by-step guide.
- Click a chart and type your own labels and numbers into its data table, or paste rows from a spreadsheet. The chart redraws as you type.
- Edit the headings and text, then add sections, icons, shapes and more charts from the left panel.
- Drag elements into place. Alignment guides snap to edges and centres, and the layers list lets you reorder, hide or lock anything.
- Pick a palette and fonts in the Brand tab, then download a high-resolution PNG, JPG or PDF.
What does this tool do?
An infographic turns numbers and steps into something people can understand at a glance. This editor treats it as a design tool, not a gallery of fixed pictures: every chart is drawn from a data table you control, so the picture always matches the numbers.
Column, bar, line, area, pie, donut, percent-ring and progress-bar charts are drawn by the same engine that produces your download, so what you see is exactly what you export. Bars start at zero, axes pick sensible round values, and negative numbers are handled without breaking the chart.
Templates are built from sections that adapt to the canvas. Choose a long vertical page or a wide horizontal one and the same template lays itself out again. Add more sections later — a timeline, a comparison, a row of icon facts — and the page grows to fit.
Everything runs in your browser. Your designs are saved on this device so you can return to them, and nothing is uploaded.
Designing an infographic that reads well
Lead with one message. Give the page a clear headline that states the finding, then let each section prove one part of it.
Choose the chart for the question. Use bars to compare, lines for change over time, and pie or donut charts only for a few parts of a whole that add up to 100%.
Keep colour meaningful. Use your main colour for what matters and a second colour for contrast. Too many colours make charts harder to read.
Name your source. A short note under the data tells readers where the numbers came from and builds trust.

Which chart should I use?
Match the chart to what you want people to see.
| Chart | Best for | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Column or bar | Comparing amounts | Sort bars from largest to smallest |
| Line or area | Change over time | Use the same interval between points |
| Pie or donut | Parts of a whole | Keep to five slices or fewer |
| Percent ring | One figure out of a total | Great for headline percentages |
| Progress bars | Several percentages | Good for skills, goals and scores |
Common mistakes
- Typing numbers that do not add up to 100% into a pie chart. The chart shows shares of the total, so check the percentages.
- Using too many slices or bars, which makes labels collide. Group small items into Other.
- Low contrast between text and background. Use the Brand tab to pick a palette with enough contrast.
- Forgetting the unit. Add a prefix such as $ or a suffix such as % in the chart display settings.
- Leaving the sample data in place. Every template ships with placeholder numbers that you should replace.
Accuracy and limits
- Charts are drawn from exactly the numbers in their data table. Axes start at zero for bar and column charts, so bar lengths are proportional to the values.
- Pie and donut charts show each positive value as a share of the total; negative values are ignored in those charts and shown as they are in bar, column and line charts.
- The template numbers and names are placeholders, not real statistics. Replace them with your own data and add your source.
- Fonts are the ones installed on your device, so a font may look slightly different on another computer; the PNG, JPG and PDF always match your preview.
- PDF pages are rendered from the canvas, so text in the PDF is an image rather than selectable text. Very tall pages are scaled down to stay within browser limits.
- Your work is saved only in this browser. Download it, or export the project file, before clearing site data.
