What infographic softwares are you using? And how is it?

I remember on my high school and college days, when I have upcoming presentations, my trusty application would be Microsoft PowerPoint since it is if not the best, but the very user-friendly one that I've known since then. And it has helped me a lot for God knows how many times during those school years.

Now, we have very impressive infographic softwares that are very accurate and more detailed specially when it comes to presentations which most marketing personnels do. May it be for school, office or business, there would now be a handy software for that, which up until now, I haven't got any idea what they are!

Now I could always search them right? But I want to know from you guys which ones you guys are using and what are your experiences when it comes to infographics.

I absolutely love infographics because what's better than pictures and some text together? It's the perfect combination to keep the readers engaged and interested. The sites that I currently use to produce my infographics are:

- Canva; it's really easy to use. Just pick and drag sort of thing. It's probably my most used one.
- Piktochart; another great tool but sadly it's pay to use so it might not be for everybody.
- Visme;
- Infogram;

All of these are amazing but it's up to your own personal preference and choice since some do require payments and some are completely free.

I haven't tried visiting these sites. So they are literally websites like most online photo editor? That' s really cool. Now we don't need to have an actual software to do photo and text combinations specially on the rush. These so called websites will surely come handy to those students who wish to make presentations but do not have a software installed on their machines.

Yep, exactly! You can quite easily edit and make your own infographic on the actual website - no extra tools or programs required to download. It's seriously amazing and once you look at the sites I've listed you will probably see that you can create almost any sort of infographic. Of course, it's then up to you how creative you can be

Obviously you will find a lot of software online, you will see Canva, Visme, Visualize, Venngage, and many more. But I totally suggest you to check Edrawsoft.com, you will find a lot of options according to what you want to do, they already have templates, and you will create it step by step. You have options for banners, flyers, posters, cards, brochures, anything, You can export them and share them too, and they have an offline option, so you can work with it, even when you have no access to Internet.

I use photoshop to create infographics. If you do not know photoshop, you can also use MS Paint to create infographics. You can use online photo editing tools such as BeFunky or PicMonkey not only to create info graphics but also edit pictures. I have heard about canva however, I have never used canva to edit pictures or create infographics. rest of the infographic tools mentioned here are unknown to me.

I have used canva, it is easy to create logo banner and infographics on canva. This is a free program, however, if you want to use unique templetes you have to pay.
I have never used Piktochart, viseme or infogram. I will have to check these tools.

I always use Canva for my infographics because of the convenience and how easy it is to use, especially when I have to make a quick one to accompany a report. The Canva team in my country also went to a business class I attended once and gave us free credits to our account.

That's a very interesting ones, Canva and PiktoChart, even though it's paid to use PiktoChart but what you are looking to get from the site is definitely going to worth the money paid for it. Canva and infogram are just my favorite infographic software because they are very popular and quite easy to use.

Well, i do create my own info graphics myself, but when am preoccupied i make use of Visme, It's quite cool.
Visme is one among the interactive infographic tools that you can use to create engaging graphics for your content. If you don’t prefer plain looking infographics, Visme lets you add animations to your infographics and make them interactive.
There are many templates from which you can choose from. You can add use well-designed charts available or even import your own data from Google docs. Ultimately, you can make these static infographics interactive if you like.

Visme is an online application tool, yes? Or it is a software? Are the templates limited only? Like you can use only a handful of them instead of having a wide array of choices of templates like any other softwares do? I am not yet into infrographic and all since I mostly use Photoshop for that. But it's good to have a knowledge about something for future reference.

I haven't used Visme before in any of my infrograhic tasks because Canva and PiktoChart have always given me the best work output. Maybe I would just try and give Visme a trail and see how good it going to be.

I just use Adobe Illustrator because it utilizes vectors as a main tool of graphic design, which is what infographics are usually made out of. There could be some picture inserts here and there as well when it is necessary, but since they are mostly vector based, almost completely, then I just use this program since it has already served me well for years now. It also helps that vector graphics turn out very clear when rendered even when the items are scaled down, which is very common in infographics since you have to cram a lot of information, which means a lot of text will be small, and this way, since the vectors don't have blurry pixels around them, you can scale them down to the limit and still come out with a fairly clean picture.

As far as I know about vector images, they are images that have solid colors right? I remember working in a printing company, and we would always use vector magic tool before editing images to soften the edges so that they'll be cutter or printer-friendly. When it comes to infographics, do they still apply the same concept? I've seen a lot of infographics such as posters or slides that have multiple colours with it. More like a layered one.

I am an old school believer in the value of truly custom imagery. It's role in search engine placement and viewer retention cannot be overstated. For that reason, my infographic tool of choice is GIMP and other free image creation tools. I have developed a style over time, such that I think anyone familiar with my color choices and design preferences could probably pick my work out from the competition's. That said, my graphics are found nowhere else. They provide custom-tailored element placement and information which supports the articles they are designed to go along with. It is time-consuming, and brevity is the lifeblood of many bloggers. Still, you have to understand that you're making a compromise one way or the other. My experience tells me it's better to lose a little time on a more likely return than to lose it writing more which may not stick to the wall. Predictability is an invaluable metric in any economic effort.

The easiest way to make Infographics is by using PowerPoint. There's also illustrator from Adobe. But the very best and easiest choice is Adobe Spark where you can finish a professional looking infographic under 5 minutes. It's quite user-friendly too.
