1. Canva

• Signup required
• Free version + Premium elements
• Premium version starting from $9.95/month with a 30-day free trial

Canva is an online infographic creator tool that can be used for free. The platform is extremely easy to use and it doesn’t require professional design skills.

To create an infographic, you will first need to choose a template from one of the infographic template categories: Business, Charity, Education, Process,  Timeline, Science, and Art. The whole process of creating an infographic is pretty simple. You have a menu with layouts, fonts, backgrounds, patterns, and many design elements such as icons, charts, shapes, lines, illustrations, and more.

Canva is free to use, however, there are premium elements that you can use in your designs. These elements will appear with a watermark. To remove the watermark from these elements, you will have to buy Canva’s license for one-time use (valid for 24 hrs), a multi-use, or extended use. Of course, you can choose to use only free resources for your design.

Canva has a Premium version which is called Canva for Work. It is available with a 30-day free trial. You will get access to 300 000 photos and illustrations, unlimited folders, and sharing and resizing options. With Canva for Work, you will be able to save your creations with transparent backgrounds and also save your own brand assets – colors, logo, and fonts.

2. Piktochart

• Signup required
• Free version
• 3 Premium subscription plans starting from $12.50/month

Before you roll your sleeves to start creating your infographic design, Piktochart will ask you to pick your field of occupation in order to suggest relevant templates and elements. Once you pick your template, Piktochart sends you to the editor where you can create your designs very easily. You have a library of backgrounds, text boxes, stickers, shapes… pretty much, all kinds of elements.

After plan updates, the free version allows you to download your visuals without the Piktochart watermark, and also access a lot of the resources, and have 100MB of cloud storage. You can also share infographics with your team, present them or embed them onto your website. Well, you cannot download them in high quality but the biggest catch is that you’re limited to only 2 downloads per month.

Тhe next tier plan (Pro) brings things to a new level. Now you can work with teams of up to 25 people (compared to 4 on the free plan) and have unlimited projects.  The Pro plans enable you to take control of your brand, as Piktochart lets you customize your branding – fonts, team templates, and even brand colors! However, what really makes the difference is the option to download infographics in high-quality, unlimited file folders, and 100GB of cloud space which is more than enough for most teams.

3. Visme

• Signup required
• Free Basic Plan
• 2 Premium Plans starting from $12/month

Similar to other tools, you will have to pick your preferred infographic template first and then go to the editor. All the instruments and elements you need are in the left panel. You will find a great diversity of graphics conveniently arranged into categories, photos, and data visualization elements such as charts, maps, and more. You can easily import media into your design, as well as switch color themes.

Visme offers a free Basic plan which gives you 100MB of cloud storage, and an unlimited amount of projects per month. However, apart from the limited resources compared to the paid plans and lack of team collaboration, your designs will also include a watermark and you can download them only in JPG format.

The Personal plan increases your storage to 250MB, gives you access to premium resources, removes Visme branding, and lets your create your own color palettes. You can also download files in PNG and PDF formats. The Business plan, however, enables you to work with your team, assign roles, take control of your brand kit, and have all project formats available, including PPTX, HTML5, Video, and GIF.

Snappa is an ideal tool for individuals and small teams alike. While it doesn’t give you the option to work with a huge team (5 users is the biggest plan), you can create amazing infographics. We have already praised its ability to come up with great YouTube Thumbnails, but the variety of resources gives the tool a very good chance to become a go-to place for people who want to create stunning visuals in no time.

Snappa is quite generous with its free plan. While you only have three designs per month that you can download, you can access all the resources on the platform – over 5 million HD photos & graphics, and over 6,000 templates are at your disposal from the get-go.

The Pro plan starts at $10/month (if billed annually) and is an upgrade to the free one. You can download as many designs as you wish, upload custom fonts, remove image backgrounds, and the best feature is that you can share you designs on social media via Buffer integration. The Team plan is the same as the Pro plan, with team collaborations being the only difference.
