Finding the right tools to create infographics takes time, like scouring the internet for the perfect template or data widget.

But trying to find an all-in-one graphics editor that has all the tools in one place doesn’t need to be a hair-pulling experience.

When choosing a versatile tool to create the perfect infographic, go for the one that makes it easy to visualize your content fast.

Some infographic makers have wonderful free templates to choose from, but when you try to customize them, you encounter annoying design limitations.

Visme, our web-based design tool, has over 21 integrated tools that let even the most inexperienced designer create stunning infographics.

The best part is—everything is fully customizable!

No matter what template you choose to begin with in Visme, you have plenty of powerful tools at your disposal; from icons, fonts, and colors to brand kits and content blocks.

Let’s take a look at all the free tools to create infographics available inside the Visme infographic maker.

1 Free Templates: The Ultimate Tool to Create Infographics

When a lot of information needs to be condensed and broken down into a small visual space, you need a template that solves most of the heavy work straight out of the box.

All the free templates available in Visme are fully customizable and adjustable. You can use the template to help you along the way, but don’t feel limited by the design.

With so many customization tools just a click away, you can use your favorite template as a starting point and tweak it to create the perfect, finished infographic in minutes.

2 Icons: The Favorite Tool to Create Infographics

Icons are easily the most used tool for creating eye-catching infographics. A well-chosen icon collection turns simple text into rich visualizations.

Visme’s library has thousands of free infographic icons in various themes and styles, including line icons, color icons and more. Your infographic resume, for example, will look great with icons in each section.

3 Fonts: The Tools to Create Infographics That Make Your Text Stand Out

Text in an infographic should look interesting and inviting, and that’s exactly why you need great fonts!
