Piktochart is an online tool to create infographics. An infographic is a visual display of information through the use of graphics, colour, and symbols. Infographics allow the viewer to “experience” the information on a variety of levels.
Users can use the featured themes or begin with a blank canvas. Information can be displayed visually with the vast selection of graphics. The infographic can be shared via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+.
​
Piktochart is free, but does offer a Pro Version as well as Education Packages. The subscription offers additional themes and the removal of Piktochart branding.

Educational uses:
