Edit visual elements faster with the new floating toolbar

Infogram now features a floating editing toolbar for images, icons, and shapes. This contextual toolbar appears right next to the selected element, giving you immediate access to commonly used tools – like changing images, applying animations, or adjusting styles – without navigating through side menus. It’s a practical step toward a faster, more streamlined editing experience.

Why It’s Useful

Designing visuals often involves small but frequent adjustments – changing colors, adding animations, or linking elements. Previously, these actions required navigating multiple sections in the editor. With the new floating toolbar, you can now make these edits instantly, right where you’re working.

This update builds on existing floating toolbars for text and chart elements, supporting a faster, more focused editing experience across all types of content. It’s part of our ongoing work to simplify editing workflows and reduce friction for both new and experienced users.

What You Can Do With It

• Writers and researchers can create reports and presentations faster, without breaking flow to search for features.
• Designers can work more fluidly – making layout, animation, and styling adjustments directly on the canvas.
• Managers and analysts can prepare visuals more efficiently, using the toolbar to add links, highlight key areas, or control interactivity with fewer clicks.

How It Works

Here’s what the floating toolbar lets you do with different element types.
