Piktochart is one of the most popular Infographics platforms out there right now. It offers a free account to get you started and is well worth considering.

The ability to deliver information in the form of an easy to read and understand image has become more valuable. It is well understood that people prefer to look at an image rather than read large volumes of text or numerical information. That’s how the Infographic came into being – facts and figures explained graphically so that it is quick and easy to read and understand.

The problem, of course, is that most of us do not have enough ability with graphics to do this. Most of us are not artists. What’s more, many organisations do not have an in-house graphic artist either.

You could, of course, outsource the work to a studio or agency but that comes at a cost. A cost-effective solution is required to the problem of creating great looking Infographics. Here’s an Infographic to describe how the process works:

Along comes an online, digital solution, the graphics package and, in some cases, the graphics package that is specifically designed to help you to produce eye-catching Infographics. One such package, very well known and respected, is Piktochart.

Piktochart is a set of online tools, together with an impressive library of ready-to-use templates, to help you to make your information look beautiful.

I’ve used Piktochart and can tell you with first hand experience that it is possible to produce great looking infographics with the templates supplied. The best part is, you can do it all for free! Sure, there are paid options as well, these increase your limits and introduce additional options, but most occasional users will do fine with the free account.

This is the kind of package where you really do have to get your hands dirty, sign up for a free account and give it a try – you’ll be surprised at just how easy it is to produce great looking Infographics in no time at all – go on, give it a try, you know you want to!
