Data to Charts & Graphs
Easily turn your data into a chart or graph that is much easier to understand (e.g in an infographic or presentation).
And all of the charts are animated too (but you can turn it off by default)!
You can even import data from spreadsheets. All you must do is copy all the data you want from your spreadsheet, and paste it straight into Visme. Then it will create a dynamic chart/graph for you.
Animation
Go the extra mile with your project, and use Visme’s built-in animation tool to create mind-blowing presentations (or animated infographics).
The Visme animation engine is very intuitive, and nearly any object can be animated in the space of a few seconds!
All you must do is:
- Select the object you want to animate (by clicking on it)
- Once the object is selected, click the “Animate this object” button.
You will then see that you can choose when the object appears/enters, when it disappears/exits, and what effect you would like for each one.
Or you can use the Objects list (next to “Animate this object” button) to control when certain objects appear on the screen in the form of a timeline (these objects include infographic widgets and audio).
