A Piktochart alternative that starts from your text
If you would rather not lay out an infographic by hand, paste your text and Infograph builds a scrolling visual story from it for you.
Piktochart gives you templates to design from. Its plans and prices below were checked on piktochart.com on 6 November 2026.
Made from this text
Before and after: a clinic handout
Before: the handout text, as pasted
Build a balanced plate Fill half your plate (50%) with vegetables and fruit, a quarter (25%) with whole grains and a quarter (25%) with protein. Drink water with the meal, and use healthy oils in moderation. A simple daily checklist: - 5 servings of vegetables and fruit - 3 servings of whole grains - 2 servings of protein - 1 water habit These proportions are a guide, not a prescription. Ask your doctor about your own needs.
After: the story
What Piktochart is great at
Piktochart is an infographic, report and poster maker with templates. You choose a template and shape it into your own page. When the result needs a fixed layout, such as a poster or a one-page report, that is the right way to work.
When to pick Piktochart
Pick Piktochart when you want to design a single page yourself and the layout matters as much as the words.
Where Infograph differs
Infograph takes the layout off your plate and keeps the focus on what your text says.
- The layout is done for you. Paste your text and Infograph picks a shape for each part: a flow for steps, a chart for numbers, two sides for a choice.
- Numbers from your source. Infograph removes any figure your text does not contain, so the story never states a number you did not give it.
- It scrolls, and it exports. Readers scroll the story like a page. You can also export it as a carousel, a PDF or a video.
