“Infographics created with Piktochart have helped me during important meetings with administrators at school districts or foundations in the community. Without Piktochart, we would not be able to secure funding to support our work.”

“Piktochart is a no-brainer to use. People have told me to try another infographics design platform that is very world-renowned, but I tried it before, and I was not too fond of it. I think it goes back to the great design of Piktochart.”

FAQs
For complex data sets, consider using stacked bars, where each segment of the bar represents different sub-categories or values. This technique allows for a comprehensive view while maintaining an organized and readable chart.
Horizontal bar graphs use horizontal bars and are ideal for long category names or large values, as they’re easier to read.
Stacked bar graphs show multiple classifications stacked in one bar, each part with a different color or pattern.
Grouped bar graphs have bars side by side, making it simple to compare values between classifications.
