Create high-impact infographics with Infogram
Infographics, maps and charts come to life with Infogram’s intuitive data editor.
Infogram was created in 2012 by a trio of Latvian entrepreneurs with the purpose of allowing users to render infographics and data-visualisation in a web-based environment. Users can create reports, maps, infographics and charts. In 2014, Infogram acquired Visualoop, a data visualisation blog and news site. The company has 30 employees in two offices in Riga, Latvia, and San Francisco, California.
What does Infogram do?
Infogram has more than 500 maps and 35 charts to choose from for data visualisation projects. These can be used to created column, bar and pie charts, along with word clouds. There are 20 ready-made design themes as well as the ability to create your own brand theme with a custom logo, colours and fonts. To augment the data, Infogram has more than 1 million stock photographs and more than 500,000 icons to choose from, as well as the ability to upload your own logos and GIF picture files. All of these selections come together in an online data editor that allows you to edit colours and styles, alter display options and add icons.
Data can be uploaded from popular cloud services like OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive, via a spreadsheet or by use of Infogram’s API. Creations can be downloaded as PNG or PDF files, turned into GIFs or made interactive.
The program’s interactive maps allow you to incorporate data from more than 500 countries and territories using icons, time-series data and heat maps. Infogram is capable of publishing your work online via integrations with Facebook Instant Articles, Medium and WordPress. You can also collaborate with teams in Infogram, defining permissions to edit and access projects.
