Twelve real questions about making infographics, charts, and diagrams with AI.
Can an AI infographic generator get the numbers right?
Yes — but only when the visual is built deterministically instead of drawn as an image. Gixo Prism's
chart maker,
diagram maker, flowchart maker, and card maker render your exact values into SVG, so the number you enter is the number that appears. Image-only AI tools redraw text and digits as pixels and routinely garble them, which is why a chart from those tools can't be trusted with real data.
Can I edit the result after it's generated?
Yes. Change the data, labels, layout, and brand colors, and the deterministic makers re-render exactly with no loss of fidelity — the same input round-trips to the same output every time. This isn't freeform canvas editing like Canva or Figma; it's structured editing where the values and labels stay correct by construction. See the
infographic generator for what each surface lets you change.
What formats can I export?
It depends on the surface. AI infographics export as
PNG and HTML. The deterministic makers —
charts,
diagrams,
flowcharts, and cards — export clean, self-contained
HTML/SVG you can drop into a deck, doc, or web page. Maker visuals don't export as PNG or PDF yet; only the AI infographic exports a raster image.
Is Gixo Prism free? What does it cost?
You can start a
14-day free trial with no credit card. After the trial, Prism is a single
$19/month plan with everything included — no per-feature add-ons. There's a full breakdown on the
pricing guide.
Do I need an account to use the makers?
Yes — the chart, diagram, flowchart, and card makers run inside Gixo Prism, so you'll sign up before you generate. There is no free-forever plan, but the 14-day trial needs no credit card. These aren't anonymous, no-signup widgets; they're the real makers, gated behind a login so your work can be saved and re-edited.
What's the difference between an infographic, a chart, and a diagram?
A
chart plots data — bar, line, pie. A
diagram shows structure or flow — a process, a cycle, a matrix. An infographic combines text, stats, and visuals into one narrative piece. Prism makes all three, and on the deterministic makers every value stays exact regardless of which one you pick.
Which chart types can I make?
Six:
bar, line, area, pie, donut, and scatter. They're data-exact and render to SVG, comfortably handling up to about eight categories across four series. Prism deliberately doesn't offer radar, waterfall, or gantt chart types — if a job needs those, a dedicated charting tool is the better fit. Full detail is on the
chart maker page.
Which diagram layouts are available?
Ten:
process, cycle, pyramid, funnel, tree, pillars, matrix, Venn, concentric, and stack. Describe a process or paste your steps and the
diagram maker lays it out with exact labels and consistent spacing. For decision flows and swimlanes specifically, use the
flowchart maker, which adds those two modes.
Can I keep everything on-brand?
Yes. Prism applies your brand palette across every chart, diagram, card, and infographic, so a batch of visuals looks like it came from one team rather than five different tools. Brand governance also handles banned-term substitution, so your output stays consistent and compliant by construction — not by manual checking after the fact.
How is this different from ChatGPT, DALL·E, or Midjourney for infographics?
Those tools generate images, so they draw your text and numbers as pixels — which means charts come back with misspelled labels and invented figures. They're excellent for illustration and mood, not for anything where the data has to be right. Prism's makers are deterministic: your data is rendered, not redrawn, so it stays exact. A good rule of thumb — use image AI for the picture, use the
Prism makers for the data.
How does Prism compare to Canva, Piktochart, or Venngage?
Those design suites lead on template breadth, design polish, and asset libraries — that's their strength, and we won't pretend otherwise. Prism leads on a different axis: exactness and brand governance, where your data stays correct and on-brand automatically. Plenty of teams use both — design the layout in Canva, get the numbers right in Prism. The trade-off is fewer decorative templates here than in a dedicated design tool.
Do I need design skills to use it?
No. You bring the data or the text; Prism handles layout, spacing, and on-brand styling deterministically, so the output stays clean and consistent without manual design work. If you can paste a CSV or write out your steps, you can produce a finished, presentation-ready visual.
