What is Piktochart?
Piktochart is a web-based visual design platform primarily known for infographics. Its Pikto AI Studio generates designs from a typed prompt, covering formats such as infographics, presentations, reports, flyers, newsletters and social posts, and adds image utilities including a background remover, upscaler and text remover. The editor supplies charts and graphs, an interactive map maker, diagrams and flowcharts, tables, and a library of icons, illustrations and photos. Brand Assets stores a team's fonts, colours and logos, and Branded Templates applies them to the template catalogue. Teams share a workspace with commenting and revision features. On the video side, an AI video generator creates clips from a description using models named on the site, and recordings can be repurposed into social videos. Plans are Free, Pro, Business and Enterprise, with separate Education, Campus and Nonprofit options, and each includes AI credits.
