Best Infographic Makers in 2026

An infographic maker looks like a simple purchase. Every tool on this list has templates, icons and a chart builder, and most have a free plan. The differences show up later: when you try to download a file from a free account, when a client asks for a private link instead of a public one, when the numbers in your chart change every week, or when five people on your team need to use the same fonts and colors.

This guide compares six infographic makers that are actively developed in 2026: Venngage, Visme, Piktochart, Canva, Infogram and Adobe Express. We focus on what matters for infographics specifically: template quality, charts and live data, brand kits, the real limits of each free plan (downloads, watermarks and private sharing), export formats and team features. Prices are in USD and were checked on each vendor's own pricing page in October 2026.

Venngage review

Venngage started as an infographic tool and still feels like one. Its template library leans heavily toward infographics, timelines, process diagrams, reports and one-page summaries, which means you spend less time adapting a social media layout into something that explains information.

Key features

• Large library of infographic, report, timeline and process templates
• Chart builder with basic charts on every plan and premium charts from Premium up; data can be uploaded as CSV or XLSX or pasted from a spreadsheet
• Maps (Canada and USA only on Free, all maps on paid plans)
• AI tools that run on daily and monthly credits (80 daily credits on Free, 160 on Premium, 1,600 on Business)
• Brand kit, team templates, shared folders and team admin on Business
• Help center documentation for building accessible designs, including accessible charts and downloads

Pricing

• Free: $0. Up to 5 designs, 6 image uploads, free templates only, sharing by public link only. Free users cannot download designs.
• Premium: $10/month billed yearly or $19/month billed monthly. Unlimited designs, 50 image uploads, premium templates, private links, embeds and downloads as PNG and HD PNG.
• Business: $24/user/month billed yearly or $49/user/month billed monthly. All templates, 1,000 image uploads, brand kit, team sharing and templates, and downloads as PNG, PDF, PowerPoint and HTML.
• Enterprise: from $499/month, with a minimum of 10 members.

Pros

• Templates are designed for infographics rather than adapted from other formats
• Business exports cover print (HD PNG, PDF), slides (PPTX) and web or email (HTML)
• Clear plan structure with a large discount for annual billing

Cons

• The free plan cannot download anything, so it works only as a trial
• Brand kit and PDF export require Business, which costs more than many rivals
• Premium is a single-user plan with PNG exports only

Who it's for: marketers, HR and internal communications teams, consultants and educators who produce infographics, reports and process visuals every week and want templates built for that work.

Who should skip it: anyone who needs free downloads, or a solo user who needs PDF export but cannot justify a Business seat.

Visme review

Visme is a broader visual content platform. It handles infographics well, but it also covers presentations, documents, interactive content, forms and video-style exports. For people who make infographics alongside slide decks and reports, that range is the main reason to choose it.

Key features

• Infographic, report, presentation and document templates in one editor
• Charts and graphs that can connect to a Google Sheet, so a published project can update when the sheet changes
• Interactive elements and animation for web-published content
• Brand Kit on paid plans
• Analytics, privacy controls and team project sharing on Business
• SSO, two-factor authentication and approval workflows on Enterprise

Pricing

Visme shows prices billed yearly on its pricing page.

• Basic (Free): $0. Unlimited projects, 500MB storage, up to 50 slides or pages per project, most templates, JPG, PNG and PDF downloads, 10 AI credits per month. Visme says the free plan adds a Visme watermark.
• Starter: $147/year ($12.25/month). 1GB storage, unlimited pages, all premium templates and assets, JPG, PNG and PDF downloads, no Visme logo, 200 AI credits per month.
• Business: $297/year per person ($24.75/month). 10GB storage, PPTX, HTML5, video and GIF downloads, Brand Kit, analytics, privacy controls and team sharing, 500 AI credits per month.
• Enterprise: custom pricing, starting at 10 users, with 25GB per user, SSO and approvals.

Student ($48/year) and educator ($96/year) plans are available, and nonprofits get 25% off Business.

Pros

• One tool for infographics, presentations, documents and interactive content
• Google Sheets connections for charts that stay current
• Free plan includes PDF downloads, unlike Venngage, Infogram and Piktochart

Cons

• Free downloads carry Visme branding
• Brand Kit, PowerPoint, HTML5 and privacy controls all sit on Business
• The breadth of features makes the editor busier than simpler tools

Who it's for: marketing and training teams that produce infographics, decks and interactive reports, and want them in one place with analytics.

Who should skip it: someone who only needs a handful of static infographics a year. Canva or Piktochart will be cheaper and simpler.

Piktochart review

Piktochart is one of the original infographic tools and remains a straightforward choice. The editor is simple, the templates cover infographics, reports, posters and presentations, and the paid plans are among the cheapest here.

Key features

• Infographic, report, poster and presentation templates
• Charts that accept pasted or uploaded spreadsheet data, and Piktochart says graphs can be linked to a Google Sheet so they update
• Team sharing, comments and permissions on every plan, with up to 4 members on Free and up to 100 on paid plans
• Brand Kit with unlimited colors, fonts and logos on Business
• AI credits on every plan (60 on Free, 500 on Pro, 1,000 on Business)
• Download quality options of Normal, Medium (2x) and High (3x)

Pricing

Prices are per member.

• Free: $0. Unlimited visuals with free templates, 1GB storage, 2 PNG downloads in total (Piktochart's help center says these credits do not renew), no password protection or transparent backgrounds.
• Pro: $10/month billed yearly or $15/month billed monthly. Unlimited PNG downloads, premium templates, transparent backgrounds, 100GB storage. No PDF or PowerPoint export and no Brand Kit.
• Business: $17/month billed yearly or $20/month billed monthly. Unlimited PNG, PDF and PowerPoint downloads, full Brand Kit, 250GB storage.
• Education: $39 per year. Nonprofit: $60 per year. Both include PDF and PowerPoint downloads and a limited Brand Kit.
• Enterprise: custom pricing for 101+ members, with SSO/SAML.

Pros

• Lowest-priced Business tier here that includes PDF and PowerPoint export plus a full Brand Kit
• Simple editor with a short learning curve
• Collaboration features (sharing, comments, permissions) on every plan

Cons

• Two lifetime PNG downloads makes the free plan a trial in practice
• Pro is PNG-only, so most teams will need Business for PDFs
• No JPG export

Who it's for: small teams, nonprofits and educators who want a focused infographic tool at a low price.

Who should skip it: teams that need interactive charts, HTML export or advanced data features.

Canva review

Canva is not an infographic specialist, but it is the tool many people already have open. It offers infographic templates alongside everything else (social posts, presentations, documents, video, print), a large stock library and an editor that almost anyone can use.

Key features

• Huge template library (Canva lists 1.6M+ templates on Free and 3.6M+ on Pro) including many infographic layouts
• Charts with data import from Canva Sheets, CSV, XLSX or TSV files, and connected sources such as Google Sheets; charts linked to a Canva Sheet in the same design update automatically
• Brand Kits: 1 on Free (3 colors only), 5 on Pro, 100 with approvals on Business
• Downloads as PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG, PPTX (for presentations), GIF and MP4; transparent PNG, SVG and compression controls require a paid plan
• Business includes access to Flourish, Canva's dedicated data visualization tool
• Collaboration and team admin tools on Business, SSO and SCIM on Enterprise

Pricing

Canva shows yearly prices on its pricing page.

• Free: $0. 5GB storage, 1 Brand Kit (3 colors), limited AI use.
• Pro: $144/year for one person. Premium templates and stock, AI tools such as resize and background removal, 5 Brand Kits, 100GB storage.
• Business: $250/year per person. Collaboration and admin tools, 100 Brand Kits and approvals, Flourish access, 500GB storage.
• Enterprise: contact sales.

Canva also says K-12 organizations and eligible nonprofits can get most premium features free.

Pros

• The most useful free plan here for downloads (PNG, JPG and PDF without paying)
• One tool for infographics and every other kind of marketing content
• Flourish access on Business covers data-heavy, interactive visuals

Cons

• Infographic templates are a small slice of a very large library, so finding a good structure takes longer than in Venngage or Piktochart
• Built-in charts are fine for simple data but not as deep as Infogram or Flourish
• Data connectors for Canva Sheets are limited to Business and Enterprise

Who it's for: small businesses, marketers and creators who design many kinds of content and want infographics without buying a separate tool.

Who should skip it: analysts and newsrooms who need interactive, data-driven charts as the main output.

Infogram review

Infogram is a data visualization tool first. Where the other tools here start from a design template, Infogram starts from the data: interactive charts, maps, dashboards and reports that you publish to the web or embed.

Key features

• 35+ interactive chart types and 13 map types on Free; 800+ map types on Pro
• Data import on every plan; data connections and live data (such as a linked Google Sheet) from Pro
• SQL connectors from Business
• Object animations and interactive publishing
• Brand kit (logo, colors, fonts, image assets) and logo removal on Business
• Real-time collaboration, commenting and engagement analytics on Team

Pricing

Infogram lists prices billed yearly.

• Basic (Free): $0. 1 user, up to 10 projects, up to 5 pages per project, online publishing.
• Pro: $19/month billed yearly. Up to 100 projects, premium templates, HD image and video downloads, privacy control, live data connections.
• Business: $67/month billed yearly. Up to 1,000 projects, brand kit, your own logo, basic analytics, SQL connectors, version history.
• Team: $149/month billed yearly. One team of 3 to 10 users, real-time collaboration, commenting, engagement analytics.
• Enterprise: contact sales. SSO, API, HTML export.

Two free-plan details matter. Infogram's help center says Basic and Pro projects show the Infogram logo, and removing it requires Business or higher. And Infogram's terms say the free plan is for personal, non-commercial use, with all free-plan content public.

Pros

• The strongest interactive charts and maps in this comparison
• Live data keeps published charts current without re-exporting
• Engagement analytics on Team show how readers use your content

Cons

• Free plan is non-commercial, public only and has no downloads
• Brand kit and logo removal start at $67/month
• Fewer layout and illustration options than the design-led tools

Who it's for: journalists, researchers, analysts and marketing teams that publish data-driven, interactive charts and reports on the web.

Who should skip it: anyone making mostly static, illustration-heavy infographics for print or social media.

Adobe Express review

Adobe Express is Adobe's quick-design app, competing directly with Canva. It has infographic templates, a simple chart tool and access to Adobe Fonts and Adobe Stock, and it fits naturally if your team already uses Photoshop or Illustrator.

Key features

• Large template library, including infographic layouts (Adobe lists 100,000+ templates on Free)
• Charts and grids panel with bar, line and pie charts plus progress charts (progress bars, donuts and gauges); data is entered manually
• Brand kits and one-click resize on Premium; brand controls and template locking on Teams
• Downloads as JPEG, PNG (including transparent backgrounds), PDF, GIF and PowerPoint on all tiers
• Generative AI features powered by Adobe Firefly

Pricing

• Free: $0. 5GB storage, free templates, limited generative AI. Premium assets can be used in designs but need an upgrade to export.
• Premium: $9.99/month, billed monthly with no annual commitment. Brand kits, all premium templates, 250 generative credits per month.
• Teams: $4.99 per license per month for the first year on an annual subscription (regularly $7.99), minimum 2 seats. Brand controls, template locking, admin console, 1TB pooled storage per user.
• Enterprise: contact sales.

Pros

• Teams plan is one of the cheapest ways to get shared brand kits and template locking
• Free plan exports PNG and PDF, including transparent PNG
• Access to Adobe Fonts and Stock, plus Firefly AI tools

Cons

• Charts are basic and have no live data or spreadsheet connections
• Fewer infographic-specific templates than Venngage or Piktochart
• Premium assets in a free account block export until you upgrade or swap them

Who it's for: Adobe users, social and marketing teams on a budget, and small teams that need brand control more than data features.

Who should skip it: anyone who needs charts that update from a spreadsheet, or interactive web infographics.

Head-to-head: what matters for infographics

Templates

Venngage and Piktochart have the most infographic-focused libraries: timelines, process flows, statistical layouts, comparisons and reports. Visme covers infographics well and adds presentations and documents. Canva and Adobe Express have far more templates overall, but infographics are a small share, so you will filter more. Infogram's templates are chart and report layouts rather than illustrated infographics.

Data charts and live data

Infogram leads here: interactive charts, hundreds of maps on paid plans, live data connections from Pro and SQL connectors from Business. Visme is second, with Google Sheets connections that update published projects. Piktochart says its graphs can link to a Google Sheet. Canva charts can import from files and connected sources, and charts linked to a Canva Sheet update automatically; Canva Business also includes Flourish for serious data work. Venngage imports CSV and XLSX or pasted data, but we found no documentation of a live sync. Adobe Express charts take manually entered data only.

Brand kits

Canva and Adobe Express are the cheapest ways to get a working brand kit. Infogram and Venngage make you buy their business tiers.

Free-plan limits

This is where the tools differ most.

If you need a free tool that you can actually use for finished work, Canva and Adobe Express are the realistic choices. Venngage, Piktochart and Infogram free plans are best treated as trials.

Export formats and team features

For print, all six offer high-resolution image downloads on paid plans, and PDF is available on Visme Free, Canva Free, Adobe Express Free, Venngage Business, Piktochart Business and Infogram Pro. PowerPoint export is on Venngage Business, Visme Business, Piktochart Business, Canva (presentations only) and all Adobe Express tiers. HTML export is on Venngage Business, Visme Business (HTML5) and Infogram Enterprise.

For teams, Venngage Business, Visme Business, Canva Business and Adobe Express Teams all add shared brand assets and admin features. Infogram's Team plan is priced as a flat package for 3 to 10 users. Piktochart includes sharing and comments on every plan, which helps small teams start without paying.

How to choose

1. Decide what your infographics are for. Static images for social media, print or slides point to Venngage, Piktochart, Canva or Adobe Express. Interactive charts published on the web point to Infogram or Visme.
2. Check how often the data changes. If numbers update weekly or monthly, pick a tool with live data (Infogram Pro, Visme, Piktochart or Canva with Sheets) so you are not rebuilding charts by hand.
3. Work out what you need from a free plan. If you need free downloads, Canva and Adobe Express are the only tools here that neither watermark them nor cap them heavily.
4. Price the plan with the export format you need. PDF and PowerPoint export push you to Business on Venngage and Piktochart, and to Business on Visme for PowerPoint. Compare those tiers, not the entry price.
5. Count your brand needs. If several people must use the same fonts, colors and logos, check where the brand kit starts. Canva Pro, Adobe Express Premium and Adobe Express Teams are the cheapest options.
6. Try the templates on a real project. All six offer a free plan or trial. Build the same infographic in two tools before you commit to an annual plan.

Final recommendations

• Best overall infographic maker: Venngage, for infographic-first templates and broad export options on Business.
• Best for mixed content and interactivity: Visme, for infographics, presentations and Google Sheets-connected charts in one tool.
• Best budget infographic tool: Piktochart, with Business at $17/member/month billed yearly including PDF, PowerPoint and a full Brand Kit.
• Best free plan: Canva, for real downloads and a starter brand kit at no cost.
• Best for live data and interactive charts: Infogram.
• Best for Adobe users and small brand-conscious teams: Adobe Express.

Conclusion

The best infographic maker depends less on the editor and more on the limits around it. Venngage is the strongest specialist, but you will need to pay to download anything. Visme is the best choice when infographics live next to presentations and interactive content. Piktochart offers the lowest-cost path to PDF export and a full brand kit. Canva gives you the most for free and covers far more than infographics. Infogram is the tool for data that changes, and Adobe Express suits teams that want brand control at a low price.

Start with the free plan or trial of your two most likely candidates, build one real infographic in each, and check the export format and sharing options you need before you choose a paid tier.
