Everything you need to make charts, diagrams and infographics in Prism

Campaign kits are the third part of Prism: one message turned into a picture cut to the exact size of each place you post it, with your headline laid over it, and a caption and alt text for each channel.

Your Prism dashboard

Start with New visual at the top of the dashboard. It lists Infographic, Chart, Diagram or flow, Campaign kit, Framework or decision and, when Print is available, Print, then Card, Document to visual, Combine visuals and Open a Mermaid or Prism file. Until you have made something, the dashboard shows the same choices as picture tiles under Make your first visual, with links to try the chart, diagram and flowchart makers on sample data; a Create a visual link elsewhere in Gixo opens them too, under Make something. On the tiles, Diagram or flow also links to Flowchart instead and Framework or decision to Decision page instead, and More holds the extra choices, adding Live data and batches once you have a saved chart. Brand, beside New visual, opens the brand settings you share with your other Gixo products, so changes there apply across the workspace.

Your work brings everything you make in Prism into one grid, most recently updated first:

• Once you have some work, filter by All work, Infographics, Charts and diagrams, Campaign kits, Frameworks and decisions or, when Print is available, Print designs, and use Search your Prism work to find a recent or older item. Infographics, frameworks and decision pages can also carry labels, with a filter of their own.
• Each card has a ⋯ menu with what that kind of work supports: a download (PNG or SVG for a saved visual, ZIP for a kit, PDF for a print design), Copy private link, which works only for people who can already open the item, Rename, Duplicate and Labels… for infographics, frameworks and decision pages, and Delete. Select lets you tick several visuals and delete them together; campaign kits and print designs are deleted one at a time from their menu.
• Deleted items lists deleted charts, diagrams, cards and combined visuals, and deleted infographics, frameworks and decision pages, newest first. Restore brings any of them back; the owner of a saved chart or diagram can also Delete forever. Older single pictures, when present, sits below the grid and keeps the single images made before campaign kits apart from them.

1. What is it about?

Answer What should this infographic explain? That's enough to continue. To work from your own material, click Add a file or existing content, then Upload files (up to 10 files: PDF, Word, text, CSV, Excel or images, 500 MB each and 2 GB in total), Paste text, with an optional title, or From your library to pick a document already in Gixo. There's no field for a web address, so paste the page's text instead.

Under More options, tick Use custom brand colors to set accent, text and background colours for this infographic, or choose Use saved Brand Kit colors. Manual colours do not change your saved Brand Kit; loading saved-kit colours needs Professional or higher access. Check the palette preview: readable-text contrast may adjust your choice. Recheck the required export. The current composed HTML download embeds the rebuilt image rather than exposing its retained source as editable objects.

In the infographic viewer

• Regenerate (1×) makes one alternative with the same style and layout rules. Each infographic gets one, and it uses plan capacity like a new infographic.
• There is no separate step to mark a version as final: the infographic is saved and stays in the viewer.
• Download offers Export HTML, Download PNG for the owner, Export Feed PNG (4:5, 1080 × 1350), Export Story PNG (9:16, 1080 × 1920) and an Export Feed + Story ZIP. Infographics download as PNG and HTML, with no watermark.
• Edit visual appears where retained editable source fields are available. Where offered, compare Original with a supported designed style under Style, inspect its preview and choose Update visual to apply it. Styling changes presentation without a new image-model call; it does not unlock arbitrary objects or recalculate decision scores. Revise supported text on the Edit tab or set accent, text and background colours on the Style tab, then click Update visual. This rebuilds the PNG without a new image-model call and keeps the generated geometry locked. If the preview fails to rebuild, edits can be saved while the old preview remains; retry before using it. Inspect the wording, figures and layout after updating.
• Logo adds one corner logo from an image address, or your saved logo on Professional and up, in any of the four corners.
• Image position and size lets you move, resize, rotate, flip or fade the image, then Save visual.
• Show sources, under More below the viewer, lists the material the infographic was made from.
• Share is one button for the public link and its embed code. It creates a public link on any plan including the trial, or shares the infographic with named people from Professional up. People you share with as View only can see it but can't download it.

1. What is it about?Answer What should the framework show? in a few words, up to 100 characters. It becomes the framework's title. For the detail, click Add a file or existing content, then Upload files (the same limits as infographics), Paste text or From your library.
2. Pick a layoutPick one of 14 framework layouts, which you can search: 2×2 Matrix, 3×3 Matrix, Pillar Model, Funnel, Flywheel, Layered Stack, Value Chain, Capability Map, Maturity Model, Venn Diagram, Concentric Circles, Hierarchy Tree, Balance Scale and Pyramid. Every framework is made as a wide 16:9 image. For exact boxes and arrows you type yourself, the page links to the Diagram maker.
3. Make itUnder More options, How closely to follow the layout is automatic unless you choose: exactly, as a named framework such as SWOT; the same shape for every part, for comparing; balanced; or loosely, where parts can differ in size. Automatic means exactly when your title names a known framework, and balanced otherwise. Custom brand colours are here too. Then click Generate Framework. It uses plan capacity, and the framework's page opens straight away and shows it when it's ready, so you can leave.

The framework viewer has Download (Export HTML, and Export PNG for the owner), Share, Version history, Reviews and collaboration, and the same Edit visual and Logo panels as infographics. There's no Regenerate: to try another layout, start a new framework from the same material. If a framework couldn't be made, its page offers Create another framework.

1. What is it about?Answer What decision needs to be made? as a question, up to 200 characters. Add the options, criteria and constraints with Add a file or existing content: Upload files (up to 10), Paste text, From your library or a Saved source set.
2. Pick a layoutEight layouts: Decision Matrix, Options Comparison, Weighted Scorecard, Risk-Impact Grid, Go/No-Go, Scenario Table, Trade-off Matrix and Recommendation Summary. Every decision page is made as a wide 16:9 image.
3. Make itClick Generate Decision. It uses plan capacity, and the decision page opens straight away and shows it when it's ready, so you can leave.

A decision page is an image with retained source fields. During generation, supported weighted layouts calculate totals and rankings from supplied scores and weights; formal methods can withhold a ranking when inputs are incomplete. Inspect assumptions, evidence and sensitivity where available. A completeness badge is a structural check, and method confidence is not a calibrated probability of success. Nothing on the finished image recalculates its numbers. To switch layouts or rework the analysis, start a new decision page and reuse your sources: on the dashboard, the Framework or decision tile links to Decision page instead. Dashboard cards have no Regenerate. On a page you own, Edit visual changes the words on the image and Logo places your logo in one corner; neither recalculates the numbers. The viewer also has Download, Share, Version history and Reviews and collaboration. Decision pages made in Gixo Business before 1 October 2026 stay viewable and editable by their owners.

Chart Maker in detail

• Chart controls and limits. Under More, review category order, category/series limits, number format, visible precision, legend, data labels and grid lines. Standard mode allows up to 60 categories and 8 series; expanded mode allows up to 120 categories and 32 series for compatible charts. Defaults vary by chart. Combo charts can use an independent secondary axis, whose scale and unit need separate review. Warnings identify discarded or limited input; visible data labels use 0-2 decimal places and long labels can be shortened.
• Uploads. The public Chart Maker accepts text tables up to 2 MB and Excel workbooks up to 5 MB. Its Excel importer reads the first worksheet, bounded to 500 rows, 30 columns and 100,000 converted CSV characters; formulas and macros are not run. For discovered source tables, column selection and category joins across files, use the separate Document to Visual/source-composition workflow and review missing matches before accepting a projection. A symbol map needs Location, Latitude, Longitude and Value columns, because Prism doesn't look places up.
• Colours. Theme offers two looks, Conservative and Bold, and Bold is the default. With a saved Brand Kit they're named Brand conservative and Brand bold and take your kit's colours. Or open Brand colors under More and enter your own.
• Checking the figures. Paste the passage the numbers came from into Authoritative source text, under More. Prism compares supported visible numeric claims with numbers found in the supplied text and lists the values it can't find there. A matched value does not establish its period, unit, meaning or factual correctness; check those yourself.
• After you click Make chart. Change the content in the editor and click Apply changes (Save changes once the chart is saved), or open Advanced canvas editing to drag, align, group, layer or hide objects.
• A data table for screen readers. A new chart carries a collapsed View chart data table with its exact values. HTML files, embeds and share pages keep it; PNG, PDF and PowerPoint files leave it out. To drop it, clear Include accessible data table on the editor's Check tab.

Review and edit the result

After rendering, compare the chart with its accepted table and source text. Apply structured edits, then inspect the result again. Advanced canvas controls move and style supported maker objects; they do not recalculate an external spreadsheet or independently validate facts. Accessibility checks cover supported contrast and object issues, not complete accessibility certification.

Explicit graph relationships

Choose the Network shape, give nodes stable keys and connect their From/To keys. Add a relationship meaning, direction, confidence and decision-critical flag where useful. These are your annotations: neither a confidence tag nor a connector verifies a causal claim. Inspect the rendered graph and label fit before export.

Taking a visual with you

Individual deterministic maker PowerPoint exports depend on the visual type. Compositions and AI images have different export/editability boundaries. Bar, horizontal bar, stacked bar, line, area, pie, donut, scatter, radar and bar-and-line combo charts arrive as native PowerPoint charts: their numbers sit in an embedded workbook, so Chart Design › Edit Data opens them, and you restyle them like any PowerPoint chart. Waterfall, funnel, Gantt, heatmap, treemap and symbol map charts, and diagrams, flowcharts and cards, arrive as native, selectable shapes and text, so you can change labels and colours in PowerPoint. So does a chart PowerPoint cannot draw the way Prism does, such as a pie with a negative slice or an area chart with a missing value. A visual with a logo keeps its native PowerPoint content, with the logo embedded as a separate picture. If the logo cannot be loaded, Prism warns you and exports the editable visual without it.

For a chart, the Designed controls redraw accepted values using code. Eligible signed-in users can preview styles, size, highlights, headline, subtitle, source and labels without reserving generation capacity. Create designed image remains a paid capacity operation and rasterizes the SVG to an image without an image-model call. Review the accepted data, units and visible plot. In a saved visual, the designed looks sit at the top of the Style tab, and a look you choose is the first line of its Download menu, Designed image (PNG). AI-designed diagram, flowchart and card images remain a separate path; their generated wording, values and layout need inspection.

Each saved visual opens in its own editor, with ← Your work, its name and whether your changes are saved across the top:

• Download ▾. PNG image, SVG image, PDF, PowerPoint and Web page (HTML), plus Data (CSV) for a chart, a Backup file (JSON) you can bring in again, a Mermaid diagram for a flowchart or a network diagram, and Copy HTML.
• Share. Get a public link, then Copy link or Copy embed code for a web page, and Preview embed. The public page shows the visual only: not your source text, edit settings, name or history. Invite reviewers creates guest review links that expire after 1 to 30 days and that you can revoke; each link is shown once, so copy it straight away. You can also let signed-in people without a Prism plan review the link. When the link shows an earlier revision, Republish this version updates it, and Revoke turns it off. Only the visual's owner can publish, revoke or invite reviewers.
• ⋯ More actions. Start a new visual of the same kind, Save as template, Arrange parts to drag and arrange the parts on a canvas, Live data for a chart, Live data and batches, and, for the owner, Move to Trash.
• Edit, Style, Check and History. The tabs beside the preview hold the fields, the theme and looks, the checks before sharing with the accessibility settings, and the versions, comments and reviews.
• Ask Prism to change something. At the top of the Edit tab, a chip asks straight away: Shorter labels, Board-ready wording, Better chart type for a chart, or Write alt text. Or say what to change in your own words and click Ask Prism. Prism rewrites words, and for a chart can suggest a better chart type; it never changes your numbers. Compare the before and after, tick the changes you want, and Use this puts them in your draft, which Save keeps as a new revision. It uses the AI assists included with your plan.
• Keep this chart up to date. Under a chart's fields, link it to a published Google Sheet, a CSV file, an Excel workbook shared publicly or JSON data, and choose how often to Check for new numbers, from Only when I ask to Daily. The connection reads a public, credential-free source under supported fetch limits. Change the data first keeps only some rows, sorts them, picks columns or adds one calculated column. New numbers wait for you to accept them, and acceptance creates a new revision; until then the chart keeps the numbers it has. Check for new numbers now and Disconnect sit beside it. Check scheduling admission and status instead of assuming a timer updated a publication.
• Save as a reusable template. Retains supported structure, style and object layout. Map later CSV input only to allowed fields; connections, source controls and brand locks remain protected.
• Comments and versions. On the History tab, comment, reply, mention someone with @name and resolve. Restore makes an earlier version current, and the current one stays in the list.

On a team, the Member role can view and comment on the team's visuals but not change them, and what a Member makes is saved to their own library. Ask a team admin for the Editor role to change team visuals.

Compare saved changes

Save a supported edit as a new owned revision, then open the History tab and choose Inspect beside an earlier version to compare it with the current one. The saved snapshots show what changed; restoring is a separate action and creates another revision. A request to Ask Prism is also separate: inspect any returned suggestion before you use it. The figures below show the earlier screens.

Selected calculation metrics and next-period charts

Export a reviewed Business calculation metric pack and select it in the maker's metric-recipe panel. Explicitly map metrics to chart cells, confirm expected units and choose raw or displayed values. Review the selected-cell calculation receipts. Only those selected values travel; Prism does not synchronize a whole workbook or independently verify the assumptions.

For a variance chart, Actual and Budget series compare same-period levels. A signed Actual-minus-plan amount answers a different question; a percentage needs the intended plan-baseline formula and a nonzero denominator. Use a compatible bar or line chart for negative values and keep currency and percentages in separate shared-axis metric charts. For a later period, upload a new pack and period label, store a candidate, review changes, then accept or cancel. Publication and composition revision selection remain separate actions.

Start one from New visual or the dashboard's Campaign kit tile. From a document, Create from this › Campaign kit opens the same page with that document chosen. The page asks three questions; a new kit starts with the places and design of your last kit, and Use the standard set goes back to the usual ones.

1. What are you promoting?

2. Where will it go?

Click a channel to add or remove it. The channels come in three groups, Social posts, Web and email and More places. Each one shows the shape and size its picture is cut to, and the cut keeps the subject of the picture in frame. Instagram post, Instagram Story, LinkedIn post and X are the standard set.

Click Make my kit. The kit is saved and opens straight away. For a kit you describe or one made from a document, making the picture, captions and alt text uses plan capacity. Your own photos are used as they are, so in a photo kit only writing the captions and alt text does. Cutting the picture to each channel and changing the design use none.

Your kit

The kit shows its progress in three steps, Picture, Captions and Channel pictures, with a count of the channels that are ready. Each channel's card fills in as its picture comes back. The kit is saved as it goes, so you can leave and come back. If a step didn't finish, the kit offers a button to run it, such as Pick up where it stopped, Make the picture or Write the captions, rather than spending plan capacity by itself. When everything is done it says Your kit is ready. Changes that produce new campaign output require active Prism access; an owner whose plan ended can still open and download a kit.

• Download all (ZIP) sits above the channels, with Just the scheduler spreadsheet (CSV) beside it. The ZIP holds a folder for each channel with its picture as a JPG, its caption and its alt text; a carousel folder with the slides in order, the post's caption, each slide's alt text and carousel.pdf; vector-message-cards, editable SVG cards of your headline and supporting line in landscape, square, story and banner sizes, which are separate text designs from your channel pictures; and campaign.csv and a README with posting steps. The CSV gives one row per channel, with the file, size, caption, alt text and hashtags, for a scheduling tool that takes a bulk-upload spreadsheet. Neither download uses plan capacity.
• Each channel's card shows the picture at that channel's shape, its caption and its alt text. The kit writes three caption options for each channel that takes a caption. Try another moves to the next, Edit caption lets you write your own against a counter of the platform's limit, and Copy caption copies it ready to paste. Alt text describes the picture for people who use screen readers; Edit alt text changes it. Until the captions are written, each channel's alt text holds the words printed on its picture.
• Download picture on a card saves that channel's picture as a JPG, and Other formats offers PNG and WebP.
• Edit picture opens that channel's picture in the image editor, described below. A picture you change there is marked Edited by you, and kit-wide design and word changes skip it.
• Carousel. Choose 5-10 slides for an Instagram carousel or LinkedIn document post: the cover, one point per slide, then a closing slide. When your source gives fewer points, the carousel has fewer slides, and nothing is made up to fill one. Changing the number of slides is free. Each slide has its own Edit picture, and the card has Download slides and Download PDF. Review every slide, its order and alt text. The kit uses one post caption; it does not publish the post for you.
• Write new captions writes new caption options for every channel. Alt text you wrote stays as it is, and so do captions you edited, unless you tick Replace captions I edited too. It uses plan capacity, asks first, and Undo new captions brings the earlier ones back.
• Change the words, design or picture opens the kit's tools. Your message changes the headline and supporting line on every picture, except those you edited on their own. Design redraws every channel you haven't edited on its own in another of the seven designs. In a kit made from several photos, Main photo chooses the one every place is cut from. None of these uses plan capacity. Make a different picture, for a kit described in words or made from a document, makes a new picture and cuts every channel from it again, including any you edited; the earlier pictures stay in each channel's versions. It uses plan capacity and asks first.
• How to post, at the foot of the kit, gives the steps for Instagram, LinkedIn, X and a carousel, including where each takes the alt text, and for using the CSV with a scheduler.
• Rename a kit in its Kit name box. More › Delete kit removes the kit and its channel pictures from your library.

A document's images

On the dashboard, Older single pictures lists the single images you made before campaign kits. Each opens its document's images page, Images for followed by the document's name, which also holds the pictures of that document's kits, each labelled with its kit and channel. The page leads with Make a campaign kit and a link to the document's kits. New pictures are made as campaign kits, not on this page. On each image:

• Full Preview and Edit picture.
• Use my own image makes a picture of yours the current image. The one it replaces stays as an earlier version.
• Animate (free) makes a six-second MP4 clip of the image. The link lasts six hours and the clip isn't saved, so download it straight away.
• Download as WebP, PNG or JPG, and Copy the image link, HTML or Markdown. Copied links are public: anyone who has one can see the image.
• Delete removes the image and all its saved versions.

Edit picture

Edit picture, on a kit's channel card or carousel slide, or on a document's images page, opens one picture with a live preview drawn by the same renderer that saves it. Prism lays the words and logo over the picture rather than asking AI to paint them, and editing uses no plan capacity.

• Choose a design. The seven designs, each shown over your picture at this channel's size.
• Use a real photograph. Search freely licensed photographs by subject, such as a place's proper name, and use one instead of the picture. Any credit the licence asks for is kept with the image. Each search uses one of the AI assists included with your Prism trial or plan.
• Finish. Natural, Crisp, Warm, Cinematic or Brand Monochrome grades the picture and leaves the design as it is. Quote and Key Stat have no finish.
• Headline and supporting line. A counter shows the headline's length against what suits this format. Long lines may be reduced to fit supported templates; review the actual size and export readability. Editorial also takes a kicker, a short optional line you can clear to remove.
• Logo. On the website banner, section background, email header and banner ad formats, upload a logo and put it in any corner. The social formats, carousel slides, YouTube thumbnails and TikTok covers take no corner logo.
• Versions. Each Save picture is a new version. Compare versions, look at the original, or make an earlier version the current image. The original is always kept, and undo and redo work while you edit.

What needs a plan

Plans and your trial

Each Prism plan has one price, in US dollars, and includes a set number of seats. Every plan includes capacity that resets each month, and your subscriptions page shows a usage bar rather than counts.

• Every plan includes infographics, frameworks, decision pages, campaign kits, clean maker files, saved visuals, publishing and Ask Prism. Higher plans add capacity and seats.
• Sharing with named people and Brand Kit start at Professional.
• The 14-day trial needs no card, and each email address gets one Prism trial. It works like Starter, with half of Starter's monthly capacity. When it ends, making and editing visuals and clean maker files pause until you choose a plan.

Free tools, no account needed

Besides the four makers, these tools run without a sign-in and without AI.

Print design availability

Prism's print workflow has format-specific fields, layout choices, preflight and print PDF, trim PDF or PNG export where enabled. The available formats depend on configuration and account access; a format listed in the code is not a promise that it is publicly launched. If Print designs is available in your account, check the offered format, dimensions, content-fit and preflight findings before export. Software preflight is not printer certification, universal font fidelity or CMYK proof. Ask your printer to confirm the production requirements.

Edit, check and export a manual design

For enabled formats, designed layout previews help select presentation and eligible Solid/Light alternatives change its tone. New designs start on a newer style: a soft palette, cards and fine rules. A design saved before it says This design uses the original style and keeps it until you choose Use the new style. That creates a new revision while retaining authored words/layout and custom or saved-kit colours; the earlier look remains in saved revisions. Review the changed preview and preflight before export. This is not a quantified ink-saving or printer-certification promise.

Choose an enabled format and layout, enter your own required fields and continue to the saved editor. The editor groups Design settings (name, size and purpose), Content, Layout, Photos where the format takes them, and Brand & style:

• ✨ Suggest sits under each wording field. It drafts wording for that one field, shown under it for you to Apply suggestion or Discard suggestion; your facts and item prices stay yours. It uses your plan.
• Try a coordinated style, in Brand & style, changes the palette and fonts together and leaves your words, photos and logo in place. You can also set each colour, the heading and body fonts and a logo yourself, or Use my saved Brand Kit.
• Download sits in the header beside the design's name. Download PDF is the trim-size file, ready for printing in the office; Other formats has a PDF for a print shop (with trim margin) and a Picture (PNG) of the side shown in the preview. Every download runs the print checks on your saved design first, and what a check or download reports is said under the button.
• Print checks can also be run with Check before export. Each failed check has a Fix link that takes you to the setting to change.
• A Make this design panel, which fills empty wording and adds an abstract background from a brief and up to six PDF, Word, text or CSV files of 5 MB each, appears only when AI drafting for Print is switched on. It is off by default.

Review the preview and any content-fit findings, then download and inspect the actual file. In the captured local example, a manual fictional A4 flyer passed the software checks and produced the two files linked below; this does not establish every format or a production launch.

Inspect the actual sample A4 trim PDF and PNG.

Tips

• Use a maker for a structured chart or diagram, and compare its accepted inputs and actual display. Use an AI infographic for composed narrative imagery and review the generated words and figures.
• Try layouts freely. Picking a shape, layout and style, and the Suggested layout, use no plan capacity, so try a few before you generate.
• Review regenerated work. Regeneration and AI actions have their current access and plan-capacity rules; compare the new image with its sources before publishing.
• Inspect the selected source table. Confirm the sheet, columns and category matches before accepting a chart projection.
• Already have the picture? Start the kit from your photos. They're used as they are, so only the captions and alt text use plan capacity.
• Settle the design before you edit single channels. A new design for the kit leaves a picture you edited on its own as it is.
• Download animations straight away. An animation link lasts six hours.
