Frequently asked questions
What people usually want to know before signing up for Piktochart.
Piktochart vs. Visme?
Piktochart is specialized for reports; Visme is broader.
Is the free tier useful?
For 5 visuals/mo, yes.
Does it replace Figma or Adobe for pro designers?
No — pros still live in Figma or Adobe. These tools win on self-serve by non-designers and template-driven work.
Who owns the designs I create?
You own designs you create. Templates and stock media are licensed, usually with per-plan commercial-use rights.
Can I export native source files (PSD, SVG, Figma)?
SVG and PDF exports are standard. PSD and Figma source files are rare — expect to redesign if you move platforms.
Bottom line
Should you use Piktochart?
A specialist tool for infographics and reports. For general design, Canva or Visme is better.
