5 Online Tools That Will Help Create Awesome Infographics To Share

An Infographic in today’s world means a large image file that has been created in order to disseminate information.

Some of them are overly wordy, but they defeat the object of having an online Infographic.

Here are a few tools that are going to help you create a visually appealing Infographic whilst also allowing you to create something that has great visual and useful data on it.

1 – Canva

This is a website that allows you to create Infographics as well as posters, flyers and slide too.

Just like the one above, you are able to use the drag-and-drop system it offers to build your own Infographic.

You can drag and drop things onto a template and move them around.

They also have a clip art section with images you can use, and you can add your own text, images, and graphics to it if you wish. You can download your Infographic as a PNG file or a PDF.

3 – Easel.ly

This is another one of the more popular Infographic creators.

This tool allows you to create coupons, flyers, and presentations.

While using the free version you may also like to try their professional versions.

A quick guide to using Infographic creators

Your best bet is to use one of the themes that the tools provide.

This leaves you with the risk that your Infographic is going on look like that of another person, but there is little chance that the other person is going to use your data, your customizations and your graphics too.

Even if your data was the same, you are still going to find that you can customize your Infographic to such an extent that it will be hard to have yours look similar to anybody else’s.

If you do not use a theme/template then your Infographic will look like something you cooked up on MS paint.

You should also experiment and save several versions of your Infographic. This helps you revert back to something more original when you make a mess of your first efforts.

Part of the process is skill, another is planning and another is dumb luck.

There are many times when all or part of your Infographic is going to look fantastic and it happened by accident.

The more you practice with a little trial and error than the more chance you have of creating a truly great Infographic.

Do not add too much raw data or text.

Adding too much text will instantly make your Infographic less desirable.

People do not want to look at Infographics for the writing, they are there to get the gist of what is being said without too much reading at all; this also means you should put raw data into charts.

If you need help in creating an Infographic there are always professionals who can do it.
