Frequently asked questions
What does this actually produce — is it a data chart or infographic?+
It generates an editorial illustration or header image, not a traditional data infographic with charts and statistics. Think visual summary artwork suited for a blog header or social share, not a "10 stats about X" style graphic. The name reflects the SEO term people use, but the output is an AI-generated editorial image based on the video's topic.
Can I use the image commercially or in my own content?+
The image is AI-generated based on the video's topic, so there's no copyright issue with the source video. However, review your organization's policy on commercial use of AI-generated images, especially in regulated industries. Always attribute or disclose AI-generated visuals where required by platform rules.
What size is the image?+
The output is sized for a blog header or social share — typically widescreen aspect ratio. Check the download for exact pixel dimensions, and resize in any image editor if your platform requires a specific format.
Can I edit the image after downloading?+
The image is a rasterized file (PNG or JPEG). You can resize, crop, or overlay text in any image editor, but the individual elements aren't editable layers the way a vector or design-tool file would be.
Is it free?+
Yes — free with no account or sign-up. Generate visual headers for as many videos as you like.
Do I need an account or extension?+
Neither. It's a free browser tool — paste a URL on desktop or mobile and the image generates in your session. Nothing to install.
Does it work on videos without captions?+
It reads the video's transcript to understand the topic, so the video needs a caption track. A mostly-visual video with little spoken content will produce a generic image.
How is this different from the Blog Post or Document Generator for repurposing?+
The [Blog Post](https://veridive.com/tools/blog-post) and [Document](https://veridive.com/tools/document) generators produce *editable text content*. This Infographic Generator produces a *visual image*. They complement each other: use the Blog Post Generator for the article body and this tool for its header image.
Can I use this on social media?+
Yes — the image is designed for sharing. Download it and upload directly to Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, or any other platform that supports image posts.
Can I generate infographics from an entire channel at scale?+
This free tool does one image at a time. For generating visual assets and structured content from a large library of videos, see [veridive](https://veridive.com) (below).
