One figure, five supports
The default. A headline number set large, then four or five ranked bars underneath that show where it comes from.

A statistical infographic maker
for one number people remember.
Give it your statistics — typed, pasted or in a spreadsheet. It picks the figure that carries the story, sets it large, ranks the rest underneath it, and keeps the unit, the period and the source attached, which is what turns a statistic into evidence. Free to start, online, nothing to install.

The format
What is a statistical infographic?
A statistical infographic — a statistics infographic, in the other half of the spelling — is a sheet built around data rather than around a narrative. One headline figure carries it, four to six supporting numbers are ranked underneath, and the unit, base, period and source stay visible beside them instead of being exiled to a methodology note. It is the format for survey results, research findings and annual figures: anywhere the numbers are the argument rather than the illustration.

How to make a statistical infographic
- 1
Bring the figures
A spreadsheet, a pasted results table, a paragraph with the numbers written into it, or the report they came from — .xlsx, .xls, .csv, .tsv, PDF, Word, Markdown, JSON and plain text, up to 25MB. The figures are read out with their units.
- 2
Pick the one number that carries the story
A statistical infographic has a headline figure and everything else is support. If two numbers are competing to be the headline, you have two sheets rather than one crowded one.
- 3
Attach the base, the period and the unit
Out of how many, when, and of what kind. Sample size belongs on the sheet rather than in an appendix, and percentage points are not the same thing as percent — say which you mean.
- 4
Rank the supporting figures underneath
Four to six of them, ordered by size rather than by the order they arrived in. Ranking is what lets a reader take the shape of the data in without reading a single label.
- 5
Name the source, then export or share
Put the source on the sheet itself, not in the caption — captions do not survive a screenshot. Then take the PNG, the sheet as a web page, or a share link.
Framing a statistic
Five questions a reader asks about every number
Answer them on the sheet and your figure survives being screenshotted. Leave them out and it becomes somebody else’s misquote.
- The base“Out of what?”
- 46% of respondents means nothing until the reader knows there were 2,000 of them and not nine. Sample size belongs on the sheet, not in a methodology appendix nobody opens.
- The period“When?”
- A statistic without a date is a claim with an expiry you cannot see. Put the year next to the figure, in the label rather than in a footnote.
- The comparison“Compared with what?”
- A number alone is inert. 32% is only interesting beside the 20% it used to be, or the 45% somebody else manages.
- The unit“Of what kind?”
- Percentage points and percent are different things, and the difference has embarrassed a lot of published charts. Say which one you mean.
- The source“Says who?”
- Name it on the sheet. A statistic detached from its source travels fast and comes back distorted — usually with your logo on it.
Four statistical infographic examples that cover almost everything
Survey results
The question written out in full, the answers ranked by share, the sample size in the footer. Never a pie with seven slices.
Then and now
Two figures and the change between them. The most persuasive statistical sheet there is, and the easiest to overstate — use the same measure at both ends.
Scale by comparison
“Enough to fill X” only works if X is something the reader can picture. If it needs explaining, it is not a comparison, it is a second statistic.
About the numbers
What is a statistical infographic?
A sheet built around data rather than around a narrative: one headline figure set large, the supporting numbers ranked underneath it, and the unit, base, period and source kept visible beside them. It is the format people use for survey results, research findings and annual figures — anywhere the numbers are the argument rather than the illustration.
Are there statistical infographic examples I can start from?
The four patterns above cover almost everything: one figure with five supports, a survey result, a then-and-now pair, and a scale comparison. Rather than browsing a library, describe what you have — “a survey of 2,000 people, five answers, ranked” — and you get a sheet with your own numbers already in it, which is a more useful starting point than an example filled with someone else’s data.
Is the statistical infographic maker free?
Yes to start. The free plan needs no card and is exactly one statistics sheet to try, with every shape and chart type available — enough to run real figures through it and decide. The download is standard quality and a small badge sits 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.
Can I make one from survey results?
Yes, and it is the most common use. Give it the question written out in full and the answers with their shares, plus the sample size and the field dates. It ranks the answers, sets the leading one as the headline and keeps n and the date on the sheet — the two things most survey graphics leave off.
What do I need to bring?
The figures, in any form — a spreadsheet, a paste of a results table, a paragraph with the numbers in it, or a report. It extracts them with their units.
Does it check whether my statistics are correct?
No. It uses the figures you give it and does not go looking for others. Verification is yours, and the sheet is designed to make that easier by keeping the unit, base and source visible.
Can it round or convert for me?
It will present figures at a readable precision — 46.3% rather than 46.2718% — and you can ask for a specific precision if it matters. It does not convert currencies or units on its own, because the rate and the date would be a guess.
How many statistics fit on one sheet?
One headline plus four to six supporting figures. Beyond that a reader stops ranking them and starts skimming, which defeats the point of picking a headline.
Can I show a percentage as a chart?
Yes — as a progress meter, a donut or a bar depending on what the percentage is of. A single percentage is often better set as large type with a label rather than drawn at all.
Are the sheets interactive or clickable?
No, and it is worth being clear because some tools on this search are built the other way. What you get is a composed sheet — an image, a web page or a share link — rather than something a reader hovers over or filters. That is the right trade for a statistic that lands in a feed, a deck or a report, where almost everyone looks once and never clicks. If readers are meant to explore the data themselves, an interactive dashboard tool suits you better.
Do I need an account, or can I download without signing up?
You can look around without one, and a sheet someone shares with you opens on a link with no sign-in at all. Making and downloading your own needs a free account so the figures are saved and you can correct one later — no card, and it takes a moment with Google.
What formats can I export?
A PNG at up to triple resolution, the sheet as one self-contained HTML file, plus a share link. There is no SVG or PDF export. On the share link and in the HTML file the text stays real text, so figures can be selected, searched and read aloud.
