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

New visual at the top opens three groups. Create has Make Infographic, Infographic from Content, Document to Visual, Build Framework, Build Decision Page and Campaign kit. Make Infographic and Infographic from Content open the same page. Quick makers has the Chart, Diagram, Flowchart and Card makers and Data & Scale. Browse has All Infographics, which brings you back to this dashboard. Under the header, Your brand in Prism links to your Brand Dictionary, Brand Voice DNA and brand product sources. They're shared with your other Gixo products, so a change here applies there too. Below that, four shortcuts cover the common jobs: Tell a visual story, Show your data, Explain a process and Create a campaign.

Your work sits in three tabs:

• Infographics & frameworks. Your infographics, frameworks and decision pages. Search, filter by type and by status (Ready, Making now, Needs attention), and sort by when you last updated or created them. You can rename or duplicate a card, and Select lets you move or delete several at once.
• Charts, diagrams & cards. The visuals you've saved from the makers. This is your visual library, described below.
• Campaign kits. Your recent kits, with Make a campaign kit and All kits. Below them, Earlier images holds the single images you made before campaign kits.

1. Define Brief

Answer What should this infographic explain? That's enough to continue. Open Refine output to shape the result:

Tick Use custom brand colors to set accent, text and background colours for this infographic. 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.

To work from your own material, use Upload Files (up to 10 files: PDF, Word, text, CSV, Excel or images, 500 MB each and 2 GB in total), Paste Text, or From Content to pick a document already in Gixo. There's no field for a web address, so paste the page's text instead.

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.
• Mark as final confirms the version you'll use. It stays saved in the viewer.
• Download offers Download PNG, Export Feed PNG (4:5, 1080 × 1350), Export Story PNG (9:16, 1080 × 1920), a Feed + Story ZIP and Export HTML. 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, 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 or set accent, text and background colours on Design, 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 lists the material the infographic was made from.
• Share 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. Add ContentUpload files (the same limits as infographics), paste text with a Framework Title of up to 100 characters, pick a document From Content, or use Manual Entry: a short title of four to six words plus the context, meaning the key elements, relationships and categories.
2. Choose Framework LayoutPick from 24 templates, searchable and filtered by visual job. There are 14 framework layouts: 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. The other 10 are diagram presets built on the same shapes, such as a process flow and a cycle. Custom brand colours work here too.
3. Configure & GenerateChoose how strict the layout should be: Canonical (an exact structure, as in a SWOT), Evaluative (uniform, for comparison), Standard (balanced, the default) or Flexible (allows asymmetry). Then click Generate Framework. It uses plan capacity and runs in the background, so you can leave the page.

When it's done, you can View Framework, Regenerate or Create Another. That screen is the only place to regenerate, so decide there. The framework viewer has Download (Export PNG for the owner and Export HTML), Version history, Reviews and collaboration, and the same Edit visual and Logo panels as infographics.

1. Add ContentUpload files (up to 10), paste text, pick from your content, use a saved source set, or enter it by hand: a decision question of up to 200 characters, plus context.
2. Choose Decision LayoutEight layouts: Decision Matrix, Options Comparison, Weighted Scorecard, Risk-Impact Grid, Go/No-Go, Scenario Table, Trade-off Matrix and Recommendation Summary.
3. Generate DecisionIt uses plan capacity and runs in the background, so you can leave the page. The decision page appears on your dashboard when it's ready.

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. To rework one, choose Regenerate on its card on your dashboard. On a page you own, Edit visual changes the words on the image and Corner logo places your logo in one corner; neither recalculates the numbers. 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. 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. Brand treatment has four presets: Conservative, Bold, Brand conservative (the default) and Brand bold. Or open Brand colors and enter your own.
• Checking the figures. Paste the passage the numbers came from into the optional source-text panel. Prism compares supported visible numeric claims with numbers found in the supplied text and lists unmatched values. 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, or open Advanced canvas editing to drag, align, group, layer or hide objects.

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 Graph (explicit connections), 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. 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 workspace, labelled with its revision number:

• Downloads. PNG, plus HTML, SVG, PDF and PowerPoint under More formats & embed. You also get the structured JSON, the source CSV for a chart, and Mermaid for a flowchart, as well as Copy HTML and Copy Embed for web pages.
• Refine with AI. Choose a mode (executive clarity, concise labels, visualization fit or accessibility copy), say what you want changed, then accept or discard each turn. Accepting saves a new revision. It uses the AI assists included with your plan.
• Connected data. Link a chart to a public CSV file, a JSON API, a published Google Sheet or a public Excel workbook. The connection reads a public, credential-free source under supported fetch limits. Apply supported filters, sorting, selected columns and scalar calculations, then inspect the column profile and snapshot. Refresh creates a stored candidate for review. Acceptance creates a new artifact revision; cancellation leaves accepted data unchanged. 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.
• Publish and share. Publish a stable review link and a responsive embed, and invite guest reviewers with time-limited links. You can revoke any of them. The public copy leaves out your source text, edit inputs, name and history.
• Comments and version history. Comment, reply and resolve. You can restore any earlier revision without losing the current one.

Compare saved changes

Save a supported edit as a new owned revision, then open History and Inspect and compare. The saved snapshots show what changed; restoring is a separate action and creates another revision. An AI wording request is also separate: inspect any returned suggestion before accepting it. The figure below shows controls before submission.

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 › Campaign kit, the Create a campaign shortcut, or Make a campaign kit on the dashboard's Campaign kits tab. From a document, Create from this › Campaign kit opens the same page with that document chosen. The page asks three questions and then offers a design.

1. What are you promoting?

2. Where will it go?

Click a channel to add or remove it. Each one shows the size its picture is cut to, and the cut keeps the subject of the picture in frame. Instagram feed, Instagram Story, LinkedIn and X are chosen when the page opens.

Click Make my kit. The kit is saved and opens straight away. For a document or a topic, 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

To polish an existing channel image, use Edit image to refine its supported finish, design, photo and on-image words, then compare earlier versions. Kit-wide design changes preserve individually edited channels. Changes that produce new campaign output require active Prism access. Manual composition changes and downloads do not use AI generation capacity; new AI pictures and captions do. Saved Brand Kit colours and fonts apply where eligible, and this campaign editor has no independent colour picker.

Where Carousel is offered, select 5-10 slides for an Instagram carousel or LinkedIn document post. Review every slide, its order and alt text. The kit uses one post caption and its download includes slide assets and a carousel PDF; it does not publish the post for you.

The kit shows its progress in three steps, Picture, Captions and alt text 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 rather than spending plan capacity by itself.

• 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, and you can change it. Until the captions are written, each channel's alt text holds the words printed on its picture.
• Download image on a card saves that channel's picture as PNG, JPG or WebP.
• Edit image opens that channel's picture in the image editor, described below. A picture you change there is marked Edited.
• Design redraws every channel you haven't edited on its own in another of the seven designs. In a kit made from several photos, Picture chooses the one every channel is cut from. Neither uses plan capacity.
• New picture, for a kit made from a document or a topic, makes a new picture and cuts every channel from it again, including any you edited. The earlier pictures stay in each channel's versions. New captions writes new caption options and alt text for every channel, replacing any you changed. Both use plan capacity, and both ask first.
• Download all (ZIP) holds a folder for each channel with its picture as a JPG, its caption and its alt text, plus campaign.csv and a README with posting steps. Export CSV for schedulers gives one row per channel, with the file, size, caption, alt text and hashtags, to import into Buffer, Hootsuite or Later. Neither uses plan capacity.
• How to post, at the foot of the kit, gives the steps for Instagram, LinkedIn and X, including where each takes the alt text, and for importing the CSV into a scheduler.
• You can rename a kit. Delete kit removes the kit and its channel pictures from your library.

A document's images

Below your kits, Earlier images 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 image.
• 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 image

Edit image, on a kit's channel card 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 hero, web section, email header and display ad formats, upload a logo and put it in any corner. The social formats take no corner logo.
• Versions. Each save 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, the visual library, publishing and AI refine. 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. 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. Older saved designs keep their original style 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. Review the preview and any content-fit findings, then run Check before export for that saved revision. Export enabled print PDF, trim PDF or PNG 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.
• Analyze freely. Layout scoring uses no plan capacity, so try a few use cases and styles 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.
