How to Create Infographics Using ChatGPT (With Prompts You Can Copy + Paste)

If you’re a coach, creator, or consultant sharing valuable insights online, chances are:
You’ve got great content… but not always the visuals to match it.
That’s where infographics come in. They’re not just pretty, they’re powerful.
Infographics help you:
- Simplify complex ideas
- Teach your frameworks clearly
- Get more engagement on content that matters
But here’s the truth: you don’t need to be a designer to make one.
With ChatGPT, you can outline, plan, and even generate the content and layout for your next scroll-stopping infographic.
Let me show you how.
Step 1: Choose the Right Infographic Type
Not all infographics are created equal. Choosing the right format makes your content easier to create and easier to absorb.
Here are 6 powerful formats:
✅ Step-by-step process
✅ Tips or Do/Don’t lists
✅ Before/After or Myth vs Truth
✅ Your Signature Framework or Method
✅ Comparison Chart
✅ Client Stats or Data Highlights
💬 Prompt to try in ChatGPT:
“I’m creating an infographic about [insert topic]. Suggest the best format and explain why it fits.”
Step 2: Use ChatGPT to Outline the Content
Once you know your format, use ChatGPT to break down your idea into clear, concise copy, ready for visuals.
Here are some plug-and-play prompts:
💬 Step-by-Step Process:
“Create a 5-step process for [your topic] with each step under 15 words.”
💬 Quick Tips List:
“Give me 6 short, actionable tips for [your audience] about [your topic].”
💬 Framework or Model:
“Turn my method into 3 visual steps with names, short explanations, and emoji icons: [paste your framework].”
✨ Pro Tip:
Keep the text skimmable. 3–7 points max. Short words. Big ideas.
📌 Example Output:
“Create a 5-step process for meditating with each step under 15 words.”

Infographics don’t need to be complicated.
What they do need is structure, intention, and just enough design to make your wisdom visual.
With ChatGPT, you don’t need to be a designer. You just need your message and a few great prompts.
Let your ideas be seen. Shared. Understood.
Because visual content isn’t fluff, it’s focus.
And your audience will thank you for it.
