Overview

What it does.

Piktochart is a web editor for infographics, reports, posters, flyers, and presentations, with a drag-and-drop interface and a large template library. Its AI features generate an infographic from a prompt, a summary, or an uploaded document, create images, and suggest layouts, while the chart tools import data from Excel and Google Sheets to produce bar, line, and map visualizations. Brand kits, team folders, and comment-based collaboration are on paid tiers, and exports cover PNG, PDF, and PowerPoint. Nonprofits, agencies, and small companies use it to turn survey results, annual summaries, and how-to content into shareable visuals. It is self-serve with a free plan that is adequate for light use but adds a watermark and limits downloads. A caveat is that AI credits on Pro are capped at 500 per month and the generated layouts tend toward a similar look, so heavy users should budget editing time.

Pricing
Free plan with 60 AI credits and limited downloads; Pro $15/month or $10/member/month annual with 500 AI credits; Business $20/month or $17/member/month annual (Oct 2026).
