Claim this listingFindThatSoftware verdictEditorial ruling
Shortlist Piktochart if your team regularly turns data and reports into infographics or one-page summaries and wants charts that pull from spreadsheets. Before paying, check which tier exports the format you need, since Pro gives PNG only and PDF or PowerPoint needs Business.
Read the full verdict
Pick the currency on the pricing page and confirm at checkout what you are charged, because billing runs through Paddle and the vendor says nothing about GST invoices. Also note that the privacy policy opts your visuals and uploads into AI training by default until you email to opt out. Against Canva, Piktochart is narrower and stronger on infographics and data charts, while Canva covers far more formats and social work.

In short
Piktochart is listed under Design & Creative, reviewed for Indian buyers. All-in it runs about ₹971/user/mo for a GST-registered business ($10/user/mo sticker plus about 3.5% card forex). It does not issue an India GST invoice, so a registered business reclaims the GST via reverse charge. FindThatSoftware rates it best for marketers making infographics/reports; a poor fit for teams that need editable source files or offline work, because Piktochart runs in the browser and exports flatten to PNG, PDF or PowerPoint.

More
The pricing page shows US dollars by default with a rupee option, and payments are handled by Paddle as reseller, with no GST wording on the vendor's pages. The terms say paid fees are not refunded except at the vendor's discretion, so test on the free plan before buying a year of seats.
Indicative, not a bill. The exchange rate is a single mid-market reference, not a live feed, and GST-registered businesses may reclaim input credit. Confirm current pricing on the vendor site.

What is Piktochart?
Piktochart is a browser-based design tool run by Piktochart LLC, a Delaware company, for making infographics, reports, presentations, posters and social graphics from templates. Charts and maps can be filled from CSV files or live Google Sheets data, and the vendor also sells an AI design generator and a separate video editor with screen recording. Teams share one workspace with comments and edit permissions, and the Business tier adds a brand kit with colours, fonts, logos and branded templates. The free plan allows only two PNG downloads and free templates, Pro exports PNG only, and PDF and PowerPoint export start at Business.
What you gain, and what you give up.
The case for
- Free plan downloads carry no Piktochart logo, according to the vendor's plan comparison, so a one-off infographic can ship without paying.
- Charts and maps can pull live data from Google Sheets or a CSV file on every plan, which suits recurring reports better than redrawing charts by hand.
- Education and nonprofit seats cost a small fraction of standard annual Pro and still include PDF and PowerPoint export.
The catch
- The free plan allows only 2 PNG downloads in total, so it works as a trial rather than an ongoing free tier.
- Pro exports PNG only; PDF and PowerPoint export and the full brand kit need the pricier Business tier.
- The terms rule out refunds of paid fees except at the vendor's discretion, and plans renew automatically.
- The privacy policy puts your visuals and uploads into AI training by default; opting out means emailing the vendor, and content already used may stay in trained models.
Best for
- Marketers making infographics/reports
- Educators and trainers
- Teams needing data-friendly visuals
Who should avoid it
- Teams that need editable source files or offline work, because Piktochart runs in the browser and exports flatten to PNG, PDF or PowerPoint.
- Buyers over 100 seats, since anything past that count moves to Enterprise custom pricing that is quoted only through a sales conversation.

Piktochart questions
Does Piktochart give a GST invoice in India?
- Piktochart does not issue an India GST invoice. A GST-registered business can still reclaim the 18% through the reverse-charge route by raising a self-invoice, but there is no vendor GST invoice to claim against directly.
Is Piktochart good for Indian small businesses?
- It suits marketers making infographics/reports. It bills in a foreign currency with no India GST invoice, so expect the card forex markup and reverse-charge GST paperwork. It is not the right pick for teams that need editable source files or offline work, because Piktochart runs in the browser and exports flatten to PNG, PDF or PowerPoint.
Does Piktochart have a free plan?
- Piktochart lists a free plan, but check the official pricing page for current usage limits before choosing it.
