# AI Infographic Generator

> An AI infographic generator turns a short brief — a title, three to six points and any numbers — into one finished graphic: a timeline, a process, a comparison or a stats sheet. On Kenerate AI you write the exact text in quotes and a text-accurate model such as GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, Nano Banana 2.1, Ideogram v4 or Recraft V4.1 draws it. The result is a picture, not an editable chart: bars and pie slices are drawn, not plotted, so check every word and number before you publish.

## Steps
1. Write the brief — A title, three to six short points and any numbers, each in quotes. Decide the layout: timeline, steps, comparison, stats or checklist.
2. Open Image Studio — Press “Make an infographic”. It opens on GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst. Pick a size: 1:1 or 4:5 for feeds, 9:16 for stories, 1:2 or 1:3 for a tall scroll. Sign in free for starter credits.
3. Generate and compare — Paste the prompt, raise the quality for small text, and make two or three takes. Ideogram v4 or Nano Banana 2.1 are good second opinions.
4. Check every word and number — Read the result line by line against your brief. Fix one wrong word with Edit Text in Image, then download without a watermark.

## In depth

### Which infographic layout fits your content, and what do you type?
Put every word that must appear in quotes. Fewer, shorter labels come out cleaner than a paragraph.
- Timeline: Dated milestones along one line. Use it for: Company history, project plans, events. Prompt words: "horizontal timeline infographic, 5 milestones, each with a year and a two-word label".
- Process / steps: Numbered steps joined by arrows. Use it for: How-tos, onboarding, recipes. Prompt words: "vertical step-by-step infographic, 4 numbered steps with an icon and a short title each".
- Comparison: Two columns side by side. Use it for: A vs B, before and after, pros and cons. Prompt words: "two-column comparison infographic, left and right headers, 4 matching rows".
- Stats / KPI: Big numbers with small captions. Use it for: Reports, social posts, landing pages. Prompt words: "stats infographic, 3 big numbers with a one-line caption under each".
- Checklist: A list with ticks or icons. Use it for: Tips, packing lists, safety rules. Prompt words: "checklist infographic, 6 items with a tick icon and a short line each".
- Cycle: Steps around a circle. Use it for: Feedback loops, life cycles, routines. Prompt words: "circular cycle diagram infographic, 4 stages with arrows around a centre title".
- Anatomy / labelled: One picture with callout lines. Use it for: Products, plants, how something works. Prompt words: "labelled diagram infographic, central illustration with 5 callout labels".

### When should you use an AI image, and when a design tool?
An image model is fastest for a one-off visual. When the numbers or the wording must be exact and editable, use a file you can change.
- A quick visual for a post or a slide — AI image: Yes — one prompt, one image. Editable file: Slower to set up.
- A chart drawn exactly to your data — AI image: No — bars and slices aren't to scale. Editable file: Yes — a spreadsheet or chart tool plots the real values.
- More than about 80 words of text — AI image: Risky — long text is where letters slip. Editable file: Yes — type it in an editor.
- Your brand fonts and colours exactly — AI image: Close, not exact. Editable file: Yes — set them in the template.
- Changing one figure next month — AI image: Edit the words, or regenerate. Editable file: Yes — change the cell or text box.
- A deck with a stats slide — AI image: Make the picture here. Editable file: Kenerate's presentation maker writes an editable PPTX.

### Infographic prompts to copy
Swap in your own title, labels and numbers, keeping them in quotes.
- Timeline: A clean horizontal timeline infographic titled "Our story". Five milestones on one line, each with a year and a short label: "2019 Founded", "2020 First shop", "2022 Online store", "2024 10 stores", "2026 New app". Flat icons above each milestone, navy and coral on white, generous spacing, sans-serif text, every word spelled exactly as written.
- How-to steps: A vertical step-by-step infographic titled "How to brew pour-over coffee". Four numbered steps, each with a small flat icon and a title: "1 Rinse the filter", "2 Add 20 g coffee", "3 Pour 300 ml water", "4 Wait 3 minutes". Warm browns and cream, clean sans-serif type, no extra text.
- Comparison: A two-column comparison infographic titled "Tea vs Coffee". Left header "Tea", right header "Coffee". Four matching rows: "Caffeine: lower / higher", "Taste: light / bold", "Best time: afternoon / morning", "Served: hot or iced / hot or iced". Green on the left, brown on the right, white background, flat style, every word spelled exactly as written.
- Stats post: A square social media stats infographic titled "Our year in numbers". Three big numbers with a caption under each: "12,400" "orders shipped", "98%" "on-time delivery", "4" "new cities". Bold modern type, purple and white, simple flat icons, plenty of space, no other text.
- Checklist: A tall checklist infographic titled "Camping packing list". Six items, each with a green tick and a small flat icon: "Tent", "Sleeping bag", "Head torch", "Water filter", "First-aid kit", "Map". Forest green and sand colours, clean sans-serif type, no extra text.
- Labelled diagram: A labelled diagram infographic titled "Parts of a flower". A clear flat illustration of a flower in the centre with five callout lines and labels: "Petal", "Stamen", "Pistil", "Sepal", "Stem". Soft pastel colours on white, educational poster style, every label spelled exactly as written.

### How do you write an infographic prompt?
Four parts, in this order — the same order OpenAI and Ideogram recommend for text in images (exact text in quotes, mentioned early):
- Layout: “a vertical step-by-step infographic”, “a horizontal timeline”, “a two-column comparison”.
- Text: the title and every label in quotes, with numbers written exactly as they should appear.
- Look: colours, flat or 3D icons, sans-serif type, white or dark background.
- Guardrails: “every word spelled exactly as written, no extra text”.

### Why do AI infographics get numbers and words wrong?
An image model paints letters and shapes; it doesn't calculate. It can copy “62%” from your prompt, but it has no idea how tall a 62% bar should be next to a 40% one. And every extra line of text is another chance for a letter to slip — Berkeley Lab saw words change after a single follow-up edit.
So keep the text short, put every value in the prompt, and proofread the result like you'd proofread a printed flyer.

### AI image, editable file, or both?
Most good infographics mix the two:
- AI image for the illustration, icons and background — fast and distinctive.
- An editable file for the exact numbers and long text — a spreadsheet chart, a design template or an editable slide.
- Place the AI picture into the editable layout, so the facts stay changeable.

## FAQ
Q: Can AI make an infographic from text?
A: Yes. Write a title, three to six short points and any numbers in quotes, name the layout — “a vertical step-by-step infographic with four numbered steps” — and a text-capable image model draws the whole graphic. On Kenerate AI that's GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst by default, with Nano Banana 2.1, GPT Image 2, Ideogram v4 and Recraft V4.1 as alternatives.

Q: How accurate is the text in an AI infographic?
A: Short labels in quotes usually come out right on these models, but not always — and the longer the text, the more chance of a slipped letter. Berkeley Lab's IT team tried an AI infographic and found missing statistics and, after small edits, changed words (“CBORG” became “CBO6”). Read every word before you publish, and keep labels to a few words.

Q: Will the numbers and charts be correct?
A: The numbers you type in quotes are usually written as you typed them, but charts are drawn, not calculated: a bar labelled 40% may be taller than one labelled 60%. Treat an AI infographic as an illustration of your figures. If the chart must match the data exactly, plot it in a spreadsheet or chart tool.

Q: Is the AI infographic generator free?
A: Free to start. A new Kenerate account gets starter credits, and Qwen Image 3.0 is a free-plan model. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, Nano Banana 2.1, GPT Image 2, Ideogram v4 and Recraft V4.1 use credits from one-time packs with no subscription. Downloads have no watermark.

Q: Can I edit the infographic after it's made?
A: Not as layers — it's a PNG or JPG. You can fix words: Edit Text in Image replaces up to five words or phrases and keeps the font and position. For bigger changes, edit the prompt and regenerate. If you'll update the figures every month, an editable template in a design tool is the better home.

Q: What size should an infographic be?
A: For feeds use 1:1 or 4:5, for stories 9:16. For a long scrolling infographic, GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst offers 1:2, 1:3 and 9:21, and Nano Banana 2.1 goes to 1:4 and 1:8. Choose a higher resolution when the labels are small, so the text stays sharp.

Q: Can I make a carousel or a slide deck instead?
A: Yes. For three to five matching social cards, use the AI carousel generator. For a full deck with a stats or table slide you can edit, the AI presentation maker writes an editable PowerPoint file, and you can drop infographic images made here onto its slides.

Q: When should I use a design tool instead?
A: When the numbers must be exact, the text is long, you need your exact brand fonts, or you'll keep updating it. A design tool or spreadsheet keeps every word and value editable — even Ideogram's own docs say long passages are better added in a design tool. AI is best for the quick, one-off visual — a post, a slide picture or a first draft to show a designer.
