Text to infographic

Paste the paragraph.
Keep the meaning.

Writing that nobody reads twice becomes a sheet people forward. Same facts, same argument — arranged so the point survives a three-second look.

What you paste

Renewable sources reached 32% of global electricity generation in 2025, up from around a fifth a decade earlier. Solar added the most new capacity for the fourth consecutive year, ahead of wind at 24% of additions, while hydro held flat. Analysts expect the crossover point — where renewables supply more than coal and gas combined — to arrive before the end of the decade in the three largest markets.

Five decisions get made between the paste and the sheet

Worth knowing, because each one is a place you can overrule it afterwards.

  1. 01Reads for the claim

    The first pass looks for the sentence the passage exists to prove. Everything after that is judged by whether it supports that sentence — which is what stops a sheet turning into a list of every fact in the source.

  2. 02Pulls the figures out of the prose

    Numbers buried mid-sentence become data points with their unit and their base year attached. “Up from a fifth a decade ago” becomes 20% in 2015, so it can be drawn against 32% today.

  3. 03Picks a structure

    Dates in sequence suggest a timeline. Shares of a total suggest a breakdown. Two named options with the same attributes suggest a comparison. The structure comes from the writing, not from a template you chose in advance.

  4. 04Rewrites for the sheet

    Paragraph prose does not fit on an infographic. Sentences become headings of four to eight words and labels of two or three, keeping your meaning but not your sentence length.

  5. 05Draws and balances it

    Blocks are placed on a grid and the frame grows if the content needs more room, so nothing is cropped and nothing is stranded in white space at the bottom.

What kind of writing this suits

An honest table, including the case where it does not work. If your text is on the last row, a different tool is the right answer.

How well different kinds of text convert to an infographic
Your sourceResultWhy
A report summary or executive briefExtremely wellAlready argued, already has figures, already ordered by importance.
A blog post or articleVery wellSub-headings give the structure away, and most posts carry three to six real points.
Meeting notes or a raw braindumpWellMessy input is fine — ordering it is one of the jobs. Expect to correct one heading.
A list of statistics with no proseWellStraight to charts. Add a line saying what the numbers are about so the headline is right.
A press releaseReasonablyThe quotable claims come through; the boilerplate is dropped.
Fiction or free-form prosePoorlyNothing to rank and nothing to plot. A sheet needs facts that can sit beside each other.

Questions about pasting text

How much text do I need?

Around 40 words is enough to get a usable sheet, and 200 to 800 words is the range where results are best. Beyond a few thousand words you are usually better summarising the section you actually want visualised, or uploading the whole document as a file so it can be read as a document rather than as one long paste.

Does it invent statistics?

It works from the figures in your text. If your passage has no numbers it will build a structural sheet — steps, a comparison, a set of points — rather than inserting statistics from somewhere else. Always read the finished sheet against your source before publishing it.

Can I keep my own wording?

Partly, and deliberately. Headings are shortened to fit a sheet, but you can edit any of them afterwards, and asking for “the original wording in the headline” will put it back.

Does it work in languages other than English?

Yes. Paste text in another language and the sheet comes back in that language, including the labels and the footer.

Can I turn one long document into several infographics?

Yes, and it is usually the better result. Generate one sheet per section rather than one sheet holding everything — a single sheet carrying twelve points is a poster nobody finishes reading.
