Use tool ↗About Piktochart
Piktochart is a browser design tool organised around infographic, report, poster and presentation templates rather than a blank canvas: you pick a layout, paste in your numbers, and it handles charts, icons and spacing. Its AI features draft a first version of an infographic, presentation, flyer or banner from a short prompt, which you then edit by hand, and they draw on a pool of AI credits that grows with the plan. Brand kits, unlimited downloads, PDF and PowerPoint export, more storage and team workspaces sit behind the paid tiers, with education and non-profit rates. It was founded in 2011 by Ai Ching Goh and Andrea Zaggia in Penang, Malaysia, and has grown without outside funding.

Pros & cons of Piktochart
A veteran template tool that got AI generation bolted on rather than rebuilt around it, which is mostly a good thing: the templates are the product and the prompt just gives you a starting draft. Cheaper than Canva at the entry tier, but the free plan is tight enough that two downloads a month makes it a trial, not a plan.
Pros
- Template library built specifically for infographics and data-heavy reports
- AI drafts infographics, decks, flyers and banners from a text prompt
- Brand assets and shared team workspaces on paid tiers
- Entry paid tier at $10 per member/month annually undercuts most rivals
- Bootstrapped and running since 2011, with no outside funding to run out
Cons
- Free tier is limited to 1 GB storage, 60 AI credits and two PNG downloads
- No public API or programmatic generation found
- Priced per member, so team cost scales linearly
Best for
- Reports and infographics where a chart-heavy template beats a blank canvas
- Non-designers in marketing, HR or education producing recurring visual documents
- Small teams that want brand colours and fonts locked into shared templates
Not for
- Designers who want free-form canvas control
- Anyone needing an API or programmatic generation
Watch out: Prices are per member, per month. A five-person team on Pro is $50/month annually, not $10.
