WEEKLY AI TOOL REVIEW
Piktochart: Canva for People Who Actually Have Data

This week’s tool sits in a category I’m usually skeptical about: “design, but easier with AI.”

Most tools in this space promise a lot and are a disappointment and only a thin layer on top of basic templates and LLM prompts.

Piktochart did surprise me, though.

It’s sort of like a blend of Canva, PowerPoint with a clear focus on turning information into visuals.

Not just pretty graphics, but charts, reports, presentations, and explainers that actually communicate something.

TL;DR (what it does)

So basically, Piktochart helps you turn text, data, and ideas into visual assets

You get:

• A large library of templates for presentations, reports, infographics, social posts, and more

• A clean drag-and-drop editor that’s hard to break

• Built-in data visualization (bar, line, pie, scatter, bubble, doughnut, etc.)

• AI-powered image tools for background removal, restoration, erasing, and upscaling

• Video and Zoom transcription with editable output

• Brand kits to keep fonts, colors, and logos consistent across projects

It removes the usual friction between “I have the content” and “this looks good enough to share.”

Who this is for

This isn’t a designer’s playground. It’s for noobs like you and me that need to make data clear and presentable.

Piktochart makes sense if you’re:

• A marketer turning ideas or reports into visuals

• A founder or operator who needs decks, one-pagers, or internal docs

• A data-heavy role that needs charts without touching Excel or BI tools

If you already live inside Figma or Illustrator, then this probably will feel limiting, again this is not for design professionals.

Get started (what using it actually feels like)

Piktochart offers a 7-day free trial, so you can test the editor, templates, and data visuals without committing.

Paid plans start at $29/month for individuals, with a $49/month option for teams.

There are also separate plans for education and non-profits, which are significantly cheaper.

If you just want to see whether it fits your workflow, the trial is enough to know.
