20 easy-to-learn visualization tools for "artifact"

The development of foreign visual industry is quite mature, which spawned a lot of online information charting tools, the introduction of a few more useful, using them, five minutes you can make a super-cock infographics:

1 "infogr.am

This is an earlier online authoring tool that highlights the support for real-time data refresh, and the production of infographics to support multi-terminal presentation.

2 "Venngage

The highlight of this tool is its own ultra-free template, ultra-many layout options, color trend bold.

3 "Piktochart

Very similar to the previous one, but not enough free templates ~

Use more you will find that the functions of these fool-type tools are similar, their only difference is: Each has a template, each has a cock bombing chart.

The following is an example of Piktochart, a brief introduction to the capabilities of these tools.

Once you have selected the template, you will be able to enter the production page. On the left is the toolbar and the edit area on the right. The top right corner is a button for downloading and publishing:

In the left toolbar you can configure various charts, text boxes, icons, maps and other elements, such as I select the chart control, will pop up a configuration window, more than 10 types of chart for you to select and edit:

In addition, we can modify the data directly based on the original chart of the template:

It is worth mentioning that Piktochart also offers ppt templates, poster templates and news templates:

Venngage also provides a similar template, and there are subdivisions under each large category:

Space relationship, more powerful features we are destined to start again ~ Everybody first to play!

3 tools are cool, but Chinese is not supported. So, you need the following two artifacts.

4 "Canva

On the surface, it's a similar online tool.

But after opening its editor, you will find that the template library actually has Chinese elements. One of the monkey templates is tried, and the slot can support Chinese editing:

Similarly, Canva provides a number of controls, including chart controls:

Click to open the chart control to see, the horizontal Slot Super Multi chart Template:

Excitedly dragged out a pie chart to discover ... Cannot edit data. can only change color, and font size, what the ...

Therefore, in strict sense, Canva is not a qualified infographics production tool.

However, it is very convenient to use it for other designs. Its template classification is subdivided into heinous, covering almost all common scenarios: foreign mainstream social media head charts, blog maps, Facebook ads, computer desktops, magazines, ebooks ...

But the total feeling is not enough grounding gas, after all, many are foreign scenes. If there is a Chinese version of, how good AH ~ ~ ~ Don't worry, there really is!

5 "maker Sticker

In the template category, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that it can make micro-blog cover, the public number of the first image, the bottom QR code, Taobao main map, WeChat chat background, resumes, small cards and so on ...

In addition, as a domestic artifact, of course, support Chinese:

Of course, it also inherits the disadvantage of Canva: charts cannot be edited. For example: The following column chart, want to modify only self-stretching ...

The column chart also says it can be stretched, but the pie chart is ...

Well, it seems to be a professional chart.

1 "Baidu · An illustration

Baidu illustrated is based on Baidu's own open source chart library echarts and designed a fool-style charting tool.

Speaking, is even if you do not understand the code, but also a few minutes to make a dick bombing of the dynamic interactive chart, you can also export H5 share to friends.

Baidu illustrated a variety of dynamic chart templates:

And these charts are dynamic and interoperable. For example: I can drag and drop some interference part of the pie chart, and the rest will be combined into a new pie chart:

On the left is the super-detailed parameter configuration panel, the right can assemble a variety of charts, pictures and text title, a little research will be able to understand:

Once the chart is configured, clicking the "Share" button will bring up a sharing pane. At this point, click on the WeChat icon, will also generate two-dimensional code!

This is my illustration of a small work-"anti-Vice", interested students can long press the anti-Vice code to see ~

Later, as long as you have data, you can quickly complete a dynamic H5 Data Report!

However, the current Baidu illustrated function is not perfect, such as the page too long easy to collapse, such as the configuration interface is not simple and user-friendly ...

But!

At the end of last year, Echarts released the 3.0 version, it is said that the illustrations will soon be synchronized updates, clean and so on!

Look, Echarts 3.0 's chart library how much cock ~ I can't imagine what it would be like to sync to a diagram ...

Speaking of H5, by the way, a tool is recommended, it also has a chart function.

2 "MAKA

It is a 0 code online H5 design tool, perhaps a lot of students contact, but the visual inspection few people used Maka statistical template.

The Statistics Template Library contains a variety of commonly used chart styles and layouts that can be applied directly by modifying the data:

A simple design of the chart is also available on the right:

Maka originally is not the main chart, the chart function naturally not strong, can only take to emergency. But with the Maka of the magazine-level template, minutes can also be able to assemble a high Yan value of the h5~

A fork, if with PPT or PS use, can completely break through the Maka design limitations. For example, in the PPT design good elements, respectively, stored as a PNG image, and then uploaded to Maka, which can make your H5 produce infinite possibilities ~

For example, this is the design manuscript I completed in PPT:

This is the final product shown in the Maka:

Long press to identify QR code view ↓

The brain hole is big enough, and a simple tool can change the artifact.

Micro-letter era, spawned a lot of benefits of human 0 Code H5 Tools, have time to chat, we first try to play Bai ~

2 "Amaztype

This is a fantastic book search engine. It arranges the search results of the book according to the letter shape of the keywords based on data collected from Amazon.

In other words, you can use these books to spell! And this is a Japanese website that supports most Chinese!

But now the site has stopped service, can only miss a bit ... Now, can only go to Google search "Amaztype", in the search results to see if you have the text you want:

Just say it and let everyone sad, don't hit the face ...

More vivid than the text cloud, is the small icon.

Where do I go to download the small icon? My good friend @ ka Wen Qian has summed up the most complete icon of the Universe download Raiders, Click the original version of the cock immediately .

The effect is significant, the tutorial recommended a catty icon download site:

The personal favorite is this--human pictogram 2
