### "Best Tool for Infographics."

June 19, 2022

5.0

Developed infographics Job aids with ease that no other tools can match.

Pros

Other infographics tools have templates as well, but it's difficult to decide which one is best for our project. Here, decision making is facilitated by the use of a template categorization.

Cons

Less business presentation templates with no animated assets.

### "A Game-Changer for Communicating Complex Information"

November 13, 2024

5.0

PiktoChart has significantly improved how I communicate complex ideas. Instead of relying on lengthy emails or meetings to explain intricate concepts, I now use visuals to break down information into digestible chunks. This approach has helped my team better understand data, making them more engaged and proactive in addressing key issues. Overall, PiktoChart has made it easier to convey important business information in a way that resonates with both my team and external stakeholders. It’s no longer just about presenting data—it’s about telling a story. And PiktoChart has given me the tools to tell that story in the most engaging and effective way possible.

Pros

It’s no longer just about presenting data—it’s about telling a story. And PiktoChart has given me the tools to tell that story in the most engaging and effective way possible.

Cons

I’ve experienced occasional lag when working on larger or more complex designs, especially when dealing with numerous elements or high-res images. While not frequent, it can be frustrating if you’re on a tight deadline.

### "Simple online tool to create social images & appealing graphics"

July 6, 2022

3.0

With Piktochart, one can whip up stunning graphics in minutes without any graphic design experience. Another thing is that they have so many templates available to choose from. And one last & important thing is frequent updates to their software.

Pros

Piktochart is an excellent online tool to create graphics, especially for business services. It is a virtual software to make professional-looking infographics and social pictures in less than an hour.

Cons

So the trial version of the tool doesn't have much good layouts or designs which can be used for business presentations. And the price for a pro account is quite high compared with the competitors

### "A Must-Have for Visual Analytics "

December 2, 2024

5.0

Piktochart is an amazing product that has transformed my basic pivots into a story that makes the data more easily received.

Pros

My most recent favorite thing about Piktochart is the new AI feature. With just a little prompting, a visual is created for you.

Cons

The ability to adjust the charts is very limited. I use Piktochart as a data analyst to make my results more visually engaging but many times the labels overlap, and the data is hard to see clearly.

### "Piktochart has enabled my team to create a more dynamic, engaging, and effective data presentation."

September 7, 2024

5.0

Piktochart has become an indispensable instrument for our communication strategy due to its adaptability to the various formats, including presentations, social media content, and reports. This is especially beneficial in a field such as agribusiness, where clarity and efficacy are paramount.

Pros

As the Brand Management Director at Agribusiness Education and Research International, I have found Piktochart to be the most effective tool for transforming intricate data into visually appealing representations. We utilizes Piktochart as an indispensable instrument for the development of educational content and informed research findings that are comprehensible to a diverse audience. The tool enables us to create informative reports, presentations, and infographics that not only simplify technical information but also retain its significance.

Cons

Being unable to adjust design elements or finer details without complicated workarounds might slow down the creative process when working with precise brand requirements or unique design features. Integrating additional systems could boost workflow efficiency.

Some users say their computers run more slowly when they're working on big projects or plans with a lot of details. This can make them less productive.

Professional quality material to share and educate others on a product of research.

### "Game-Changer for Effortless Visual Content Creation!"

November 13, 2024

5.0

My experience with Piktochart has been fantastic! It’s made my workflow much faster, and the AI tools are a dream for anyone looking to create beautiful reports, infographics, and presentations without needing advanced design skills. I strongly recommend it to anyone in need of quick and professional-looking visual content.

Pros

What I love most about Piktochart is how easy and intuitive it is to turn text into polished, professional visuals. The AI-powered "text-to-report," "text-to-presentation," and "text-to-infographic" tools save me so much time, especially when I'm under a tight deadline. These features quickly transform complex information into clean, engaging layouts that are both visually appealing and easy to digest, which has been perfect for my content needs. I’m also impressed by how customizable everything is—Piktochart provides a great balance between automation and creativity.

Cons

The only one little downside I've noticed is that sometimes when downloading If I don't pick the option download as pages I get an infographic output which I normally change option and am good to go thanks to the flexibility of the platform.

### "Great tool for all sorts of beautiful visuals!"

April 9, 2025

5.0

Great tool that let's you create some really nice infographics, visuals, and presentations.

Pros

Let's you create fun and easy infographics. You can do a lot with a free trial and it's easy to use this tool. They offer a lot of features and functionality.

Cons

I can only have a certain number of designs per free account so I have to delete others before I can make a new design. They limit the download type for those with a free account.

July 8, 2022

4.0

Solid, only switched because I used all the good templates and I needed a software that was reliable.

Pros

Great software, I used it daily throughout the COVID lockdown. They have templates for everything (not just reports, they have social media post templates too, etc).

Cons

The software is pretty buggy. It's not anything you can't work around, but it does get very annoying when using it for multiple hours daily.

Dazzling performance on video editing. I have all the benefits with me while using Piktochart.

Pros

Professional presentations keeps my position relevant and effective. It makes every work around presentable and attractive. Graphs addition to presentation, reports creating and beautiful maps. The most important thing is that no prior knowledge on graphic design is needed to get started.

Cons

None. Piktochart is simple and built to favor everyone. Beginners find it easy to use. No major challenges.

October 22, 2023

5.0

Piktochart is Newbies friendly. It has given me liberty handling data visualization and graphic designs.

Pros

From day one, I knew I was missing the point especially on my graphics. I used to higher expensive designers to do even the most straight forward jobs. All thanks to a game changer tool. I save money and get brilliant results. Nothing like prior knowledge in Piktochart.

Cons

Best. I give Piktochart five stars. Nothing to complain about.

### " Very good application to perform infographics and presentations in a very short period of time."

June 6, 2018

4.0

Pros

The best quality that this application has is the speed and simplicity of the application in letting you design any type of art you need at the moment. Having an easy access to the application through an email, being registered in the web page

Cons

I'd like if the space for Uploading images for a free user can be more than 40 Mb. It seems very less when you want to do a long one and do multiple edits. I wish they had a few more template options to pick from. I am not sure if there is a community template area I have not checked out, but that might be cool too. I'm sure it is necessary to advertise, but my office does not budget to pay for a subscription. We use the free version that includes a watermark/boilerplate for Piktochart on everything we create.

### "Great Tool to support internal communication!"

June 20, 2022

5.0

Very easy to use with visual effect seen right away. I recommend Piktochart to anybody strugling with any photo design tools that are too complicated and time consuming - here you create impressive visuals (I do orga charts, infographics, financial reports) in little time and with great effect.

Pros

Possibility to create visually interesting infographics in an easy way. Variety of templates to use online and offline. Very customer friendly usage.

Cons

Just a few options to upload data for chart visualization in a financial report chart, I would also appreciate more chart options.

### "Great platform for infographics, flyers, and graphics in general!"

February 5, 2019

5.0

I'm very pleased - my students learned to create great infographics for class projects and reports!

Pros

There's really a lot to like about Piktochart if you're looking to build infographics quickly and effortlessly with students. For starters, their website is extremely easy to use. I think it's arranged well, easy to navigate, and I like the search feature (quickly filter through templates). Piktochart also offers a massive library of options/designs. Honestly, some are a little bland, but many are of great quality! I also appreciate how they have grouped or organized templates into themes. This allows you to quickly find your purpose/style, and then start customizing. With regards to building and creating, I'm not extremely experienced, but I feel like it's easy to use and manipulate to me. My students picked up quickly! There's also a lot of free images, and you can upload your own pictures easily (I have students share experiment steps/procedures pictures). One thing that I find unique from competitors is that you can actually embed videos and interactive charts. To my knowledge, this is the only free platform I've seen that can do this. Of course this will not matter if you are printing a flyer, but if you're sending it digitally, then this is a really unique and awesome feature. Last, I like that you can import data from Google Sheets and Excel. This hasn't been very difficult to do either - my students were able to pick up on it in no time at all. I give it an 8 out of 10 - awesome platform with many practical uses in the classroom!

Cons

Although I really like what Piktochart enables me and my students to do, I feel like a lot of the templates require a subscription. That's not possible with a class full of students, so I wish they'd consider some sort of education package. With that said, the free version is good depending on the project or activity you're doing.

Presenting data is much more visually appealing since using this and it saves much more time than using some of the software previously used.

Pros

The software is easy to use and there are great suggestions for layouts/styles for all your needs.

Cons

It's not a huge problem but I would like the folder management to be streamlined, drag and drop perhaps and also allow sub-folders.

July 1, 2023

5.0

Pros

It helps gives you choices for things you have in your head, and that "aha this is exactly what I wanted", is especially for people in our industry where were are data experts but not visuals experts. It makes our presentation much much simpler and prettier :)

Cons

Moving items between the different pages can be tricky at times, takes some practice. Please also add in the ability to add in customize colors that are usable across the different projects. Having to type in the specific colors required for each project can sometimes be a hold off.

### "Effortlessly Create Professional Designs with Piktochart"

May 4, 2023

5.0

Overall, my experience with Piktochart has been very positive. I was able to create professional-quality designs in record time thanks to its customizable templates and simple customization features. Although the image library is a bit limited, it did not affect my ability to create compelling designs for my projects.

Pros

What I appreciate most about this software is its ease of use. Piktochart offers customizable and pre-designed templates that allow for quickly creating professional-quality designs. Additionally, the features for customizing fonts, colors, and images are very simple to use and allow for creating original designs.

Cons

However, I find that the image library offered by Piktochart is a bit limited. It can sometimes be difficult to find the image that perfectly fits my needs, and I have to search for additional images on other platforms. This can take a bit more time, but it's worth it to achieve the desired result.

January 5, 2023

5.0

Very pleased with it. Simple to use and produce what I needed.

Pros

We switched to using Piktochart several years ago to complete our Annual Report for our Commission, City officials, and the citizens. The ability to have more visuals versus text was one of the driving factors along with ease of use. We have been able to create stunning reports.

Cons

The only thing I can think of is it would be a great addition if the graphs/charts could be more custom tailored to our needs. Some of them did not work as we had hoped and ended up creating them in Word and importing them as a JPG. Other than that, I think it is a great program.

### "Simple to Use - Gets the Job Done"

December 29, 2019

5.0

Overall, Piktochart is a super easy platform to use to create good-looking infographics. Creation is intuitive, making it easy for first-timers to use Piktochart right away.

Pros

Piktochart is super easy to pick up and use. We've used the free version to make simple infographics to supplement some of the blogs we write for clients, and for those purposes, it certainly gets the job done. It's nice to have a selection of templates, and the fact that the options get refreshed from time to time is also nice. I appreciate having a selection of photos and clip art to choose from built into the platform. The best thing is really how easy it is to make a nice-looking infographic in very little time, even if you're new to the platform.

Cons

Since we only use the free version, we do find that we've often limited by templates. There are some on the paid version that look quite appealing! But, for our purposes, the free version suffices.
