AI Infographics

An AI Infographic turns dense study material into a single, scannable poster — your chapter distilled into clear sections, key points, and visuals on one page. Instead of reading the whole thing again, you see the structure at a glance: what the big idea is, how the pieces connect, and what to remember.

Scholarly reads your material, picks out the concepts that actually matter, organizes them into sections, and lays everything out in a visual style you choose. The result is a downloadable one-page PDF that lives in your library alongside everything else you study.

When an Infographic Helps

An infographic is a great fit when you want the shape of a topic fast:

  • A quick review before class or an exam — one glance brings the whole chapter back.
  • Seeing structure in dense material — a long reading is often just four or five ideas with detail; the poster shows the skeleton immediately.
  • Something to print or share — pin it above your desk, or send it to a study group.
  • A visual anchor — sections in order, with icons and short points, are easier to remember than running text.

If you want depth rather than a one-page overview, a Study Guide gives you a structured written guide, and AI Slides turns the same material into a full presentation deck. To see how concepts link together, try a Mind Map.

Creating an Infographic

You can start an infographic from two places:

  • Home page — click the AI Infographic tile in the create grid.
  • Create with AI — open the create menu and choose AI Infographic.

Step 1 — Add your material

The create window opens to a source picker. You can combine sources in a single infographic:

  • Library — pick a PDF you've already uploaded. Defaults to your most recent PDFs.
  • Upload — drag in new files from your computer. You can add up to 3 files per infographic. PDFs, Word documents, and PowerPoint files are all supported.
  • Google Drive — connect Google Drive and pick the exact files you want. Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoints, and text files all work — no downloading and re-uploading. See Uploading Content for how Drive connecting works.
  • Link — paste a PDF or website URL to pull in a source from the web.
  • Prompt — skip files entirely and just type the topic, like "One-page visual summary of the Krebs cycle with the key steps and energy yields."

Step 2 — Customize

Before generating, shape how the infographic looks and what it focuses on:

OptionWhat it does
StylePick the visual look (see the styles below).
LanguageGenerate the infographic in your chosen language — over 70 are supported, so you can upload an English source and get the summary in the language you study in.
Custom instructionsTell the AI what to emphasize — for example, "Focus on chapter 3," "Keep the points exam-oriented," or "Include the key formulas."
AI modelChoose which model designs your infographic. Premium models show a lock badge on the free plan; upgrade to unlock them.

Visual styles

There are four styles to choose from:

  • Editorial (default) — clean, magazine-style layout with a structured grid.
  • Bold & Vibrant — high-energy poster with large type and punchy colors.
  • Sketchnote — hand-drawn notes look with arrows, doodles, and icons.
  • Minimal — calm, monochrome design with thin lines and plenty of space.

Step 3 — Generate

Click Generate Infographic. Designing usually takes under a minute, and you don't need to wait on the screen — close the window and keep working. You'll be notified from the bell in the header when it's ready, and it will appear in your library automatically.

What You Get

Your infographic is saved as a poster-style, one-page PDF in your library. From there you can:

  • View it — it opens in the standard PDF viewer, like any other document.
  • Download or print it — keep it on your device or put it on your wall.
  • Share it — send the PDF or share it with a link so classmates can view it directly.

Because the finished infographic is a real PDF in your workspace, it also becomes a source you can keep studying from. You can turn it — or the original material — into flashcards, a practice quiz, or ask the AI tutor about anything that didn't click, all grounded in the same content.

Tips

  • Be specific in custom instructions. "Focus on the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle" gives a sharper poster than no guidance.
  • Mix sources when it helps. Add two related PDFs from your library and a short prompt to steer what gets emphasized.
  • Match the style to the use. Editorial and Minimal read cleanly for technical material; Bold & Vibrant and Sketchnote are great for memorable, eye-catching review posters.
  • Use a prompt when you have no file. If you just need a visual overview of a topic, type it in — no upload required.
  • One source, many tools. The same upload that made your infographic can become a study guide, mind map, slides, flashcards, a quiz, or a podcast.

FAQ

Is the infographic actually based on my material?

Yes. The infographic is planned from the sources you add — your slides, chapter, notes, Drive files, or linked PDF. It pulls the key definitions, processes, and relationships from your actual content, not a generic summary from the web. If you start from a typed prompt with no file, the AI builds the summary from the topic you describe.

What can I upload, and what do I get back?

You can add PDFs, Word documents, and PowerPoint files (up to three), pick existing PDFs from your library, connect Google Drive files, paste a PDF or website link, or just type a topic. The result is always a one-page, poster-style PDF saved to your library — ready to view, download, print, or share.

What visual styles are available?

Four: Editorial, Bold & Vibrant, Sketchnote, and Minimal. You pick the style before generating, and you can create the infographic again in a different style later.

Can I change the language?

Yes. Pick your output language in the customize step — over 70 are supported. You can upload material in one language and get the infographic in another.

Is AI Infographics free?

Infographics are included on the free plan, which gives you a daily allowance of AI creations shared across tools. Paid plans raise those limits and unlock premium AI models. See Plans and Limits for the current details on your plan.

How is this different from a study guide?

An infographic is a one-page visual overview built for quick scanning. A Study Guide is a structured written guide for when you need depth and explanation. They're made the same way and from the same kinds of sources — pick whichever fits how you want to review.
