Visual Digital Presentation - Exporting graphics from piktochart to powerpoint

In this video we're going to look at how we can export the infographics we created last time for example the map here and the harvest infographic to another program such as Microsoft PowerPoint this will be useful if you want to create infographics to use in a presentation once you've got your infographic if you go to the download link at the very top you will then have the option to export the infographic, set the quality to the highest level you've got if you've got a paid-for account obviously choose the highest one but with free account just choose medium export as a PNG this will particularly preserve the crisp lines of your infographic and choose to download as blocks this will create a PNG file for each of the blocks on your infographic click the 'download as zip' button and in a few seconds that will create a zip file so i'm using google chrome so my zip file appears at the bottom of my screen but you might need to find this in your downloads folder I'm going to open up my zip file this is a standard Windows 8 file tool go to the top and click extract, extract all and then that will extract into your downloads folder the individual images that comprise the infographics now switching to PowerPoint i'm just going to make this a blank slide what I'll need to do is take a look my extracted zip file, got all my images here and I can just drag in my blocks onto my PowerPoint presentation now this block here you'll see a lot of grey space around it which we don't actually need all we need to worry about is this map so i'm going to select my image from the picture tools format pane go to crop and you'll see how the tabs on the side changed to these black lines this allows you to crop down the image using the toggles and after we click away we can see we've got rid of all that extra grey space we don't need we can position the map anywhere on the page we can also use the circular toggles to expand the image and if you do ever need to expand an image make sure you do use the corner toggles if you use the side toggles you see how the image has now been stretched it's really difficult to get that back to looking normal so you just have to undo that and if you want to position that slap *** in the middle click on the image from the picture tools format pane select align and align center if you want it vertically center select align middle and now that image is right in the middle of our slide. If we look at the other infographic that we created to do with my autumn harvest I'm just going to drag that into the slide though this is fine in terms of we've we've got the infographic here this text we've got to be careful of. Whenever you've dragged in text from an image this won't be accessible to users using screen readers and also if you start to resize it the text can start getting very blurry so for this particular infographic although I've got these nice leaf icons I'm not going to use those I'm going to do exactly the same thing and crop this infographic down to just the block I wanted before there we are and I'm going to increase that size I'm also going to add a border on to it just a grey border position that in the middle of my slide and then I'm going to add a title using PowerPoint templates I can customize that as I see fit and a text box with the legend at the bottom and again just aligning that to the center so there we've used Piktochart to create an infographic that we're then using elsewhere for example in this PowerPoint presentation
