Napkin AI

Overview

Napkin AI turns text into visuals. Paste or import your text, click to generate, and Napkin suggests infographics, diagrams, mind maps, flowcharts and data charts that match it. You pick one, adjust it, and export it for slides, blog posts, social media or documents. It works from your own text rather than from image prompts.

Main features

• Text to visual: select a passage and get several layout options for it.
• Import: PPT, DOC, PDF, HTML and Markdown files.
• Editing: change text, icons, colours, connectors and layout; nothing in the generated visual is locked.
• Styles: built-in styles, fonts and icons; paid plans add brand styles and custom fonts.
• Export: PNG and PDF on all plans; PPT and SVG on paid plans.

Pricing

• Free: $0, 500 AI credits a week, unlimited editing, imports and PNG/PDF export, with Napkin branding.
• Plus: $9 per person per month, 10,000 AI credits a month, premium AI image models, PPT and SVG export, 3 brand styles, no branding.
• Pro: $22 per person per month, 30,000 AI credits a month, exclusive designs, unlimited custom branding, your own fonts and optional credit top-ups.
• Enterprise: contact sales. Yearly billing saves 25%. Generation uses roughly one credit per selected word.

Who it is for

Consultants, teachers, marketers, product managers and writers who explain ideas in text and need clear diagrams without opening a design tool.

How to start

Paste a short section with a clear structure — steps, a comparison or a cause and effect — generate a visual, then try two or three of the suggested layouts before editing.

Things to note

The visual only shows what is in your text, so tighten the wording first. Check that numbers in charts match your source.
