What are Infographics?

Infographics are visuals that explain information with charts, graphics or illustrations.



Infographics tell a story visually using data or information. They are often used to quickly explain a complex concept or provide context.

Since infographics are often creative and interesting, they are highly shareable. This makes them popular tools among marketers to raise awareness about a brand or issue.

Here’s an example of a small infographic from Quartz showing the evolution of mobile screen sizes.

Infographics are traditionally flat, but are also animated or interactive such as this infographic showing the size of the universe.
