Piktochart AI

What is Piktochart AI?

Piktochart AI is an intelligent visual creation and editing tool built into Piktochart; it allows prompts, notes, reports, or uploaded documents to be converted into infographics, reports, presentations, and printed visuals. The resulting content can be further edited in terms of text, colors, images, icons, charts, and layout.

Its purpose is not to offer pure AI-based image generation, but rather to assist people who are not designers in turning business information, educational content, and public messages into readable visual materials. The platform also provides charts, maps, timelines, flowcharts, brand kits, as well as tools for team collaboration.

Piktochart price comparison

The following are the reference prices in US dollars as shown on the official page during verification; differences may occur due to region, currency, promotions, and page version. The annual payment option is displayed on a monthly basis, but the payment for the entire year is usually made in one go; it is necessary to refer to the payment details page associated with the account before making a purchase.

Different official pages have shown higher prices for the Pro and Business versions, which indicates that pricing can vary depending on the region or promotional offers. Prices for educational and nonprofit use require verification of eligibility; it is not possible to determine the final amount based solely on the figures listed publicly.

Rules for using AI Credits

• Monthly refresh:The credits included in the subscription are refreshed at the start of each billing cycle and are not carried over automatically.
• Workspace sharing:Multiple seat credits are pooled in the workspace for members to use together.
• Additional packages:The additional credits purchased can be added together, and they are handled separately from the monthly renewal quota.
• AI images:Creating, modifying, enlarging, repairing, removing the background or text costs 25 credits per image, usually.
• Multiple variants:Generating multiple image options at once will result in a charge applied to each one separately.

• Insufficient dosage:You can wait until the next cycle, upgrade your package, or purchase additional credits.

Tutorial on Creating AI Infographics

1. Select format:From the AI creation interface, select Infographic and choose between long format, comparison, or process layout.
2. Preparation content:Specify the audience, purpose, key data, sections, and call to action.
3. Generate draft:Enter a topic, paste text, or upload a document so that the AI can first create the structure and visuals.
4. Check facts:Check whether the numbers, units, proportions, source years, and conclusions are accurate.
5. Adjust hierarchy:Shorten paragraphs, highlight titles, key figures, and the visual reading order.
6. Replacement materials:Use brand images, icons, and colors to replace irrelevant AI visuals.
7. Select output:For online distribution, long images or embeds can be used; for printed versions, posters, flyers, or reports should be employed.

Generate visual tutorials from documents

1. Prepare files in TXT, DOCX, or text-based PDF format; scanning PDFs as well as JPEG and PNG documents is not suitable for this process.
2. Individual files must not exceed 10MB, and attachments as well as duplicate content that are not related to the visual target should be removed.
3. After entering the AI tool, select formats such as Infographic, Presentation, or Document that support uploading.
4. Upload only one file at a time, indicating the chapters, images, conclusions, and tone that need to be retained.
5. Select the visual suggestions that best fit the content structure, then go to the editor to make further adjustments.
6. Long documents need to be checked page by page; the Business format is suitable for retaining complete content that exceeds 5 pages.

Tutorials for creating AI reports and presentations

1. Make a clear decision:First, write a report or presentation to help the audience understand what needs to be done, approve it, or take certain actions.
2. Organize data:Clearly state the KPIs, time range, comparison baseline, and key findings.
3. Generated structure:Enable AI to create a narrative sequence of background, discovery, explanation, risks, and recommendations.
4. Manual map creation:Pikto AI does not currently generate accurate charts directly from raw CSV files or data tables.
5. Branding:Use logos, color palettes, fonts, and team templates to standardize reports and pages.
6. Export acceptance:Check the font, page layout, aspect ratio, and clarity in the target PDF or PowerPoint.

Usage restrictions and precautions

• Free accounts allow only 2 PNG downloads, and the official help page provides different descriptions regarding the rules for permanent free access.
• Subscription credits are refreshed on a monthly basis but are not carried over, and high-frequency image processing consumes them quickly.
• AI cannot directly and reliably convert raw CSV files or data tables into accurate charts;
• Document uploads are only supported in TXT, DOCX, and text-based PDF formats; one document at a time, with a maximum size of 10MB.
• The numbers, facts, and citations generated by AI may be incorrect, and the reports must be verified manually;
• The prices displayed on different pages may vary by region; the amount charged should be based on the account balance.
• Long infographics are not suitable for direct printing; the appropriate format should be chosen based on the medium of distribution.

Copyright, Commercial Use, and Data Security

The official help documentation states that images generated by Pikto AI that meet the specified criteria can be used for both personal and commercial projects. This license does not imply that the input materials, portraits, brand logos, or third-party content have been authorized for use.

• Do not use text removal tools to remove copyright watermarks or circumvent licensing terms for the materials;
• Customer data, employee information, and unpublished reports should be anonymized before being uploaded;
• Business charts should retain the actual data, time range, and verifiable sources;
• When using characters, trademarks, and brand assets, verify the authorization and scope of use;
• The team should restrict access to brand templates, downloads, and public links.

API and open-source information

The current documentation for Piktochart AI does not promise the provision of a public API for ordinary developers; the official recommendation is that users who need an API should contact support to describe their use cases. The web generation interface cannot be used as a stable, public API.

The Piktochart platform and its AI design system are not open-source products; the official GitHub repository contains only a few independently developed projects and does not provide the complete source code for these products. Other repositories on GitHub with the same name also do not represent the official Piktochart service.
