If you don't want to create an entire infographic from scratch, don't worry. Each template in Visme is built on the same block. So it's easy to delete and edit parts of infographic by changing the blocks. This is much easier than editing a full template in tools like Canva.

For example, in Canva, you can only change the background of the entire infographic. But in Visme, each block (or each part) of the infographic can have its own background as a photo or a color.

The free package from Visme, gives you access to 5 projects, but has limited templates and you can only download your infographic as a JPG file. To download as PDF and to have access to premium templates, you will have to register a standard package for $ 14 / month.

If you want to create a simple text-based and graphic infographic, Canva is the best choice. If your infographic is heavy on charts and has many custom sections, use Visme. And if you want to focus more on aesthetics, Picktogram's beautiful templates will work.

Wish you find the right tool!

Good luck!
