What Piktochart does
Piktochart starts you from a template or an AI prompt, and you edit the result with built-in charts, maps, tables, icons and photos. A Brand Assets hub keeps your fonts, colors and logos in one place, and branded templates turn stock layouts into on-brand versions. Teams can comment and revise designs in a shared workspace.
