Create Interactive Maps That Tell a Story

Infogram offers over 35 chart types, 800+ maps, and AI tools that turn data into dynamic reports fast. For example, a data journalist can build a clickable news dashboard, while a market researcher can create a client report, all without needing design skills.

Infogram has made this easy with five steps:

1. Log in to Infogram.
2. Choose a map type.
3. Upload or copy and paste your data.
4. Customize your look/feel with labels, colors, fonts, and graphics.
5. Download your map, or embed it on your website.

No need to create code. We took the technical steps away which allows you to be a map creator and effectively engage with your audience.

Maps are ideal when sharing geographic data. A visual representation of statistics or numbers tells a much more compelling story than a list of data and comparisons. Maps can be used to show country statistics, sales by region, voting results, weather updates, and more.

Infogram’s maps can live beyond basic reports (although they’re great there too!), our maps are ideal in your next infographic, presentation, news article, or social media campaign. Create a map to share your data in a way that’s compelling and quickly engages and educates your audience.

Infogram icon (marker) maps allow you to place an icon or symbol anywhere in the world. You can change the default circle icon to any image from our large icon library.

1. Click on the map you’d like to edit
2. Choose Map Properties
3. Select Icon Map under Map type
4. Click Select Icon to search our library for the perfect image

1. Use simple outlines and avoid design distractions. Less is more.
2. Select colors wisely. Use color or text to emphasize important data. For map color gradients we suggest you check out ColorBrewer
3. If you need to show regions with common data or patterns, we suggest you arrange them into groups, which is easy with an Infogram Area map

1. Select the Responsive web and mobile layouts option at the top of your Library. You will find the option to use a single map on the left side panel. This is the best choice if you plan on creating a map without any additional objects, such as images, charts, text fields, etc.
2. Select or search for the specific map you are looking to use.

By default, every new map added to your project is an Area map (regions represented with a color variation). However, you can switch to an Icon map (where points on the map are designated with icons or symbols) anytime.

To switch to an Icon map:

1. Click on the map to select it.
2. Click to expand the Map Properties drop-down in the right sidebar.
3. Select Icon map under Map type.

Pro tip: You can change the default circle to any icon from our icon library. Unlocking icons search with a 200 000+ icon library will require you to have a paid subscription.

To change the icon type:

1. From the Map properties tab in the right sidebar, scroll down to the Select icon field.
2. Click Change to see available icons.
3. Click on an icon to select it. You will see the new icon update on your map.
