What GistViz does
One tool, four things it is good at.
Turn any PDF into one page.
Upload the report, the paper, or the chapter. GistViz reads all of it, keeps the handful of points that carry the argument, and lays them out as a single infographic. Every label is typed text, so you can read it at any size, search it, and trust the spelling. Most PDFs come back in under ten seconds.
PDF to infographic →Video placeholder
Screen recording: a PDF is dropped in, the infographic builds in about six seconds, the file downloads. 15 to 20 seconds, no sound needed.
Paste notes, get the layout that fits.
Paste lecture notes, an article, or meeting minutes. GistViz works out the structure of what you pasted, a sequence, a comparison, a process, and picks the layout to match. Two lectures on the Krebs cycle became a timeline with the rule that holds across every stage boxed underneath. Prefer a grid? Switch with one click.
Text to infographic →Drop a YouTube link, get one page.
Paste the link to a lecture, a talk, or a tutorial. GistViz reads the transcript, pulls out the points that matter, and lays them out as one page you can read in two minutes. Long videos can be split into one infographic per chapter, so a three-hour course becomes a set of pages you can review in order.
YouTube to infographic →Image placeholder
Composite: a YouTube lecture page on the left, the resulting infographic on the right, with a short caption like "52-minute lecture, one page".
Download it sharp, in multiple formats.
PNG for chat and slides, SVG for design tools, PDF for print. All three are crisp at any size and none of them carry a watermark, on the free plan or on Pro. Long sources can be split into a set of infographics, one per section, delivered as separate files or as a single PDF.
All export options →Image placeholder
The same infographic shown three ways: as a PNG in a chat bubble, as an SVG open in Figma, as a printed PDF. One composite image.
How it works
Three steps, no prompt writing, no drag and drop.
Upload anything
Drop a PDF, paste any amount of text, or give GistViz a YouTube link. There is nothing to format, tag, or clean up first. Headers, footers, page numbers, and reference lists are ignored automatically, so the summary is built from the parts you would actually read.
We extract the gist
GistViz reads the whole source, finds the points that carry the argument, and works out how they relate: a sequence, a contrast, a cause and its effect. That structure decides the layout. Because the infographic is built from the key points rather than painted from a prompt, every word on it is typed text. Nothing melts into gibberish, and nothing gets invented to fill space.
Download in seconds
The infographic is ready in seconds, not half a minute. Download it as PNG for chat and slides, SVG for design tools, or PDF for print, all sharp at any size. A flashcard deck built from the same key points comes with every run, so what you understood on the page is still with you a week later.

Choose Your Plan

FAQ
- What is GistViz?
- GistViz turns any PDF, notes, article, or YouTube video into a one-page infographic plus a flashcard deck. You upload or paste, GistViz extracts the key points and how they connect, and a finished infographic comes back in seconds, ready to download as PNG, SVG, or PDF.
- Is it free?
- Yes. The free plan gives you 10 infographics a day with every layout, every export format, and no watermark. No credit card is needed to start. Pro removes the daily cap and adds long documents, long videos, batch upload, and priority rendering.
- Will the text on my infographic be spelled right?
- Yes. GistViz renders real text instead of painting letters into an image, so spelling is exact and the labels stay readable at any size. If a summary point is not what you wanted, regenerate it: that is free and takes a few seconds.
- What can I upload?
- PDFs up to 10MB, pasted text of any length, and public YouTube links with captions. Word and PowerPoint files are next on the list. If a PDF is a scanned image with no text layer, GistViz tells you instead of guessing.
- How long does it take?
- Usually a few seconds for an article or a short PDF, and ten to fifteen seconds for a long report. The time goes into reading the source, not into drawing: the infographic itself is built instantly from the extracted structure.
- What exactly do I get?
- A one-page infographic you can download as PNG, SVG, or PDF, and a flashcard deck built from the same key points. Long sources can be split into a set of infographics, one per section, so a whole book chapter does not have to fit on one page.
- How is this different from Canva or ChatGPT?
- Canva gives you a blank canvas and templates; you still do the reading, the thinking, and the dragging. ChatGPT gives you a summary as a wall of text. GistViz does the reading and the layout for you and hands back a visual, plus flashcards, in seconds.
- How is it different from AI image tools?
- AI image tools paint a picture of your content, which looks great until you read the labels. GistViz builds the infographic from the actual key points with typed text, so it is exact, exportable in any format, and ready in seconds rather than half a minute.
- Can I use the infographics commercially?
- Yes. Everything you create with GistViz is yours, on the free plan and on Pro. Use it in reports, slides, blog posts, courses, client work, and social media, with no attribution required.
- Is my document stored?
- Your file is processed to extract its text and then discarded. GistViz keeps the generated infographic and the extracted key points so you can come back to them, and nothing you upload is used to train models. The privacy policy has the details.
- Which languages does it work in?
- Any language the source is written in. Upload a Spanish report and the infographic comes back in Spanish; paste Japanese notes and the labels are Japanese. You can also ask for the output in a different language from the input, which is handy for study material and for sharing with a team abroad.
- Can I change the layout?
- Yes. GistViz picks the layout that fits the content, but every run offers the alternatives: a flow, a comparison, a timeline, a grid of key points, and more. Switching takes a second because the key points are already extracted; only the arrangement changes.
- Which layouts are available?
- A timeline for sequences, two columns for comparisons, a flow for processes, a grid of key points for everything else, and a few variations on each. GistViz reads the structure of the source and picks one, then shows the alternatives so you can switch. A chapter on the Krebs cycle became a timeline; an article weighing remote work against the office became two columns.
- Can I split a long document?
- Yes. Anything longer than a few thousand words can be split into a set of infographics, one per section or chapter, each with its own flashcards. You get the set as separate files or as a single PDF.
- Do I need an account?
- Not to try it. Your first infographics run without signing up. A free account keeps your history in one place and raises the daily limit.
