Introducing Piktochart Video ⁠— Create and Manage Your Visual Content in One Place 

For the past decade, it’s always been our mission to empower visual content creators, whether it’s for a school presentation or promoting your first business webinar. 

With the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating trends and transformation that have been underway for decades, screen time is up across all ages. 

Companies big and small are starting to be more flexible with their work arrangements. Students and teachers are taking classroom interactions and lessons online. Not to mention that more people are now building their online businesses — from eCommerce stores to consulting agencies. 

And then there’s the spike in video creation and usage across the board. 

For example, in our survey of 300 business professionals about their video creation efforts, 85.7% of respondents agree that video is now more important than other forms of content. Half of the respondents are also starting to create and develop more video content. 

As we move forward with these new insights and findings, we are excited to announce the expanded and dramatically upgraded Piktochart!

Here’s a summary of the changes:

• From now on, you can create presentations, infographics, posters, flyers, charts, and VIDEOS using one platform. Piktostory, a product we used to offer separately, is now Piktochart Video. 

• The old Piktochart is now called Piktochart Visual. You can easily switch between Piktochart Video and Piktochart Visual from your new dashboard.  You’ll notice a new look and feel as you log in to your account (and make your way to our website too!) 

• There are new templates, icons, and illustrations added to Piktochart Visual. This means you will have more options in visualizing your idea, information, and data.  

• Finally, level up your visualization chops for data and processes with the addition of visualized numbers, diagrams for lists, checklists and forms, buttons, and hierarchy.

Piktochart Video (formerly Piktostory) is now LIVE on Piktochart!

Piktochart Video is a simple video editor and screen recorder. The possibilities are endless— crop your videos for social media, convert your videos to text, edit lengthy Zoom recordings, or communicate with your team using asynchronous video.

You can access Piktochart Video directly in your Piktochart dashboard, as illustrated below.

Here are some of the wonderful things you can do with Piktochart Video:

Record a brief update for your team, client, or followers. Capture your screen and troubleshoot or explain a concept. Walk your audience through presentations, infographics, or reports effortlessly. 

With Piktochart, video editing is as quick and straightforward as editing text. Cut your video into shorter clips by highlighting parts of the transcript. Add titles or images. Upload intro and outro. Now, you can create a professionally-looking video in a matter of minutes. 

Piktochart Video automatically transcribes and adds subtitles to your videos, so you don’t have to worry about adding subtitles later in the process.

Choose the language of your video. Easily cut out any filler words by editing the transcript. Share your video with captions or export subtitles as .srt, .vtt, or .txt file. 

Don’t let that fantastic webinar, Zoom presentation, or virtual event waste its potential. Drive more awareness, engagement, and conversions by repurposing one video into multiple content pieces. 

Automatically crop your videos with Piktochart Video to optimize them for Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and other social media platforms.

There is no better way to grow your brand online than with video. With Piktochart, you can easily ensure that your videos have a unique and recognizable style. Add your logo, match the video background to your brand colors, and more!

Piktochart Visual lets you: 

Outsourcing graphic design is great, but having to wait on a deliverable when you’re on a tight deadline is frustrating. 

With Piktochart Visual, you’re no longer dependent on a graphic designer to create reports, posters, infographics, presentations, and more. It’s like having your own professional designer 24/7. 

The templates are made by experienced designers who have worked for businesses across niches and industries. This means they know and understand the underlying principles of business communication.

For example, they already know the best colors and fonts for a specific industry or particular format.

In short, there’s no need for you to do some deep-dive research (and waste precious time) because it’s all been taken care of in the templates.

Want your brand colors in your visual content? No problem!

With Piktochart Visual Pro, you get access to Brand Assets. Upload your logo and Piktochart will automatically upload your brand colors for you. You can then use these brand colors every time you create your brand visuals. 

With Piktochart Visual, you don’t have to overhaul your entire design workflow.

Download your visual content in PNG and PDF formats and share them with your colleagues via email. You can also download your presentations as a PPT file and use Powerpoint to present.

Data doesn’t have to be boring.

Copy-paste your data into our graph maker, upload a CSV , Excel file, or link up a Google sheet and turn complex data into a clear graphic that gets your message across. 

Choose between different types of charts & graphs to present your data in a clear and understandable way.

The dashboard houses all your work. From here, you may view and manage all your saved visuals and choose the template format you’d like to use. The video tutorial below shows you how.

Every visual you create on Piktochart takes place in a workspace. It’s where you store your visuals and organize information — as just one person or collaborate as a team. The video tutorial below shows you how.
