Piktochart: cost, fit and limits
Piktochart is a browser-based graphic editor made by Piktochart LLC for infographics, reports, charts and presentations, with Pikto AI generating visuals from prompts and per-member plans that range from Free to Enterprise. It also includes a video editor and a graph maker.
What to know first
Piktochart prices Pro at $10 per member per month billed annually and Business at $17, with monthly rates of $15 and $20. Pikto AI credits are capped at 60 on Free, 500 on Pro and 1,000 on Business. Pro exports PNG only, so PDF and PowerPoint push most teams to Business. The privacy policy was blocked during our check, so retention and training terms are unverified.

Who Piktochart is best for
Nonprofits and education groups
Dedicated Education and Nonprofit price points are published, at $39 and $60 per member billed annually, which helps teams with tight budgets.
Teams making branded reports
Business adds brand controls for colors, fonts and logos, with branded templates that turn standard layouts into on-brand versions. That helps agencies keep client layouts consistent.
Social video repurposers
The video editor repurposes webinars and Zoom recordings into social clips, which suits teams that publish both infographics and short video from one source.

What Piktochart does
- Pikto AI
- Prompts generate visuals, and the toolset includes an image generator, background remover and icon generator. Video generation is described using Sora 2 or Veo 3.1.
- Graph and map makers
- Pie charts, bar charts and pictographs are built in, along with a map maker for geographic data, so simple data stories need no second tool.
- Flowchart maker
- Customizable shapes and lines with premade templates handle process diagrams, which fits teams that mix infographics with workflow explainers. Output suits process explainers, onboarding guides and internal training sheets.
- Brand assets
- Fonts, colors and logos can be stored in one place and applied across designs. Full controls and branded templates sit on Business. Business is the tier where this becomes a full brand system rather than a stored list.
- Multiple currencies
- Prices show in USD by default, with GBP, EUR, SGD, MXN and INR selectable, which reduces surprises for non-US buyers. Buyers outside the US can see local currency before they reach checkout.
How Piktochart handles your data
Piktochart's privacy policy returned a 403 error during our check, so we could not read what it says about training models on customer content, retention periods or hosting location. The pricing page lists a security review and MSA support for Enterprise and SSO or SAML, but names no certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001. Nothing about data handling has been inferred. Ask the vendor for its policy and any security documentation before uploading confidential figures, particularly if your organization requires a data processing agreement.
Where Piktochart falls short in practice
- Pro exports PNG only. PDF and PowerPoint downloads need Business at $17 per member on annual billing, so the headline $10 price rarely covers a team that circulates reports.
- Free tier is a trial. Two PNG downloads, one folder and 1 GB of storage make the free plan suitable for testing the editor, not for regular output. Anyone who needs a few exports a month will outgrow it quickly.
- Conflicting education price. The Education plan shows $39 per member on the table while the FAQ says $39.99 a year, so confirm the figure before buying. Ask the vendor which number applies if you plan to buy that tier.

Alternatives to Piktochart
Piktochart: common questions
How many AI credits does Piktochart include?
Pikto AI credits are 60 on Free, 500 on Pro and 1,000 on Business. The pricing page does not say how many credits one image or video costs, so run a real project in a trial to see how fast each allowance drains.
Does Piktochart Pro export to PDF?
No. Pro exports PNG only. PDF and PowerPoint downloads arrive with Business at $17 per member per month on annual billing, or $20 monthly. Teams that distribute reports as documents should price Business from the start. Check the export row before you buy.
What is the monthly price of Piktochart Pro?
Pro is $15 per member per month when billed monthly and $10 per member per month when billed annually. Business is $20 monthly or $17 annually. Prices default to USD, and GBP, EUR, SGD, MXN and INR can be selected.
Is there a Piktochart plan for large teams?
Enterprise covers 101 or more members at custom pricing and adds a dedicated manager, a security review, SSO or SAML and an SLA. The pages also mention a Campus option for 3,000 or more seats, with no price shown. Both are quoted rather than priced online.
Is Piktochart good for videos?
It has a video editor that repurposes webinars and Zoom recordings into social media clips, and Pikto AI can generate video using Sora 2 or Veo 3.1 as described. We did not test output quality, so judge it on a trial.
