Piktochart allows for the easy creation of infographics, which can be powerful visual representations of a variety of forms of information.
For free accounts, there are a choice of templates, both infographic style and presentation style. Each template provides you with guidance as you add in your own information to ensure the best quality presentation. Each section of an infographic is adjustable to fit your content.
Piktochart also includes a variety of icons to help deliver your message, but your own images can be uploaded. Videos, charts and maps can also be integrated into Piktochart.
There is also a presentation mode, which gives you a "slick" view for live presentations of your information.
