Interactive infographics are a great way to engage your audience and make complex data more digestible. Canva’s easy-to-use infographic maker is packed with free templates, icons and illustrations to bring your data to life. Here’s how to make an interactive infographic in Canva:

1. Choose a template

To get started, head over to Canva and sign up for a free account. Once you’re logged in, click on the “Create a design” button and select “Infographic” from the list of design types. This will open up Canva’s library of infographic templates.

You can browse through the available templates or use the search bar to find a specific template that suits your needs. For this tutorial, we’ll be using the “Interactive Map Infographic” template.

2. Customize your template

Once you’ve selected a template, it’s time to start customizing it to suit your branding and information. Canva makes it easy to change colors, fonts, and images with just a few clicks.

For example, you can click on any of the icons on the map template and replace it with one of your own.

PRO TIP: Interactive infographics are a great way to engage your audience and communicate complex information in a visually appealing way. However, there are a few things you should keep in mind when creating an interactive infographic in Canva:

1. Make sure your infographic is clear and easy to understand.

2. Use simple, concise language that can be easily understood by your audience.

3. Avoid excessive use of animation or other interactive elements that could make your infographic difficult to follow.

4. Test your infographic on multiple devices and browsers to ensure it works correctly.

5. Get feedback from others before publishing your infographic to ensure it is clear and effective.

If you want to add new elements to your infographic, such as charts or diagrams, click on the “Elements” tab in the left-hand sidebar. This will open up Canva’s library of icons, shapes, and illustrations.

3. Add interactivity

Now that you have all your content in place, it’s time to make your infographic interactive. Canva makes it easy to add links, audio, and video to your design with just a few clicks.

To add a link, simply click on the element you want to link and then click on the “Link” icon in the top toolbar. This will open up a window where you can enter the URL you want to link to.

4. Export and share

When you’re happy with your design, it’s time to export it and share it with the world. Canva offers a few different export options:

  • JPG: This is a standard image file format that can be shared on social media or embedded on websites.
  • .PNG:
