Four are worth knowing about, each winning a different job — and one of them is Venngage. A large template library is a real asset and browsing one is a legitimate way to start. This page is about what you gain and lose by giving that up, laid out both ways, including the parts that do not favour us.

Ranking these one to ten is mostly theatre — the winner depends on what is scarce for you: time, variety, breadth, or an accessibility requirement somebody will audit.
Best if you want a smaller, more opinionated library
The nearest like-for-like: infographic-focused, template-led, long-established. Fewer designs than Venngage and a tighter house style, which some people find easier to choose from rather than harder.
Best if you also need presentations and interactive content
Broader scope — decks, documents and clickable content alongside infographics. Worth it when the infographic is one deliverable among several and another subscription is not welcome.
Best if you want the biggest library and every other format
More templates than anyone, full manual control, and social, print and video in the same place — at the cost of any opinion about whether your chart is the right chart for your data.
Best if you have the content and do not want to browse
Eight structures rather than a catalogue, and the right one chosen from what your content is doing. The first draft arrives already filled in from your source. Less variety, far less time, and a set that matches without anyone coordinating.
Still best for accessibility work and for browsing a big catalogue
Two reasons to stay, said plainly. Venngage has built genuine accessibility tooling — accessible template sets and contrast checking — and if WCAG compliance is a requirement rather than an aspiration, that is not something the tools above match. And if seeing hundreds of finished designs is how you like to begin, a generator gives you nothing to browse.
Hundreds of finished designs to browse. You find one you like and make it yours.
Eight structures, one chosen from what your content is doing, filled in from your source.
| The job | Better served by |
|---|---|
| A one-off piece where style matters more than data | Catalogue |
| A monthly report that has to look identical each time | Structure |
| A long document you need summarised | Structure |
| A poster where you want a distinctive look | Catalogue |
| A set of six sheets for one campaign | Structure |
| You are not sure what the sheet should say yet | Neither — write the sentence first |
For infographics, Venngage is the more focused of the two and its accessibility tooling has no real equivalent in Canva. Canva has far more templates overall, more manual control, and covers social, print, video and decks in one place. If infographics — and especially accessible infographics — are most of your work, Venngage. If they are one job among many, Canva.
Honestly: Venngage is ahead of us here and it is one of the clearest reasons to stay with them. They have built accessible template sets and contrast checking into the product. We have not built that tooling — the generator is instructed to keep text readable against its background, but nothing measures a contrast ratio or certifies a result, so we do not claim a standard we do not verify. What we do have is that a shared piece is a real web page rather than a flat image: the headings and figures are genuine selectable text that a screen reader can read, which a PNG never is. If a compliance requirement is driving the decision, choose the tool built for it.
It depends on what is scarce for you. Biggest library, Canva. Most infographic-specific catalogue, Venngage or Piktochart. Broadest single platform, Visme. Strongest accessibility tooling, Venngage. Fastest route from a long document to a finished sheet, generating from the source. Any page that answers this with one name — including a page on that tool’s own site — is answering a different question than the one you asked.
Eight structures rather than hundreds of designs: statistics, timeline, process, comparison, report, list, breakdown and social. Each covers a thing content does, and the right one can be chosen for you.
It is a genuine trade. You lose variety and gain speed and consistency. If variety is what you are shopping for, a catalogue tool is the better answer and this page will not pretend otherwise.
Yes — pick a structure directly, or ask for a different one after seeing the first draft.
Through a brand kit: your colours, typeface and logo. The structure stays recognisable, the same way a well-designed report series is recognisable.
Bars, lines, donuts, progress meters, comparisons and timelines, chosen from the shape of your data rather than from a menu.
Yes, no card required, with every structure and shape available on it. To be exact about the size of it: the free plan is one infographic to try, with a standard-quality download and a small badge in the footer. Paid plans go from about 80 pieces a month upward and add brand kits, editing by asking, best-quality downloads and removal of the badge.
No — there is no PDF export here, and that is a real difference rather than a positioning line. What you get is a PNG at up to triple resolution, the piece as one self-contained web page, and a share link. The PNG prints cleanly at A4 and A3, and you can print the share page to PDF from your browser, but if handing over PDF files is part of your workflow that is a genuine reason to stay put.
