Google Gemini's Canvas feature. Create infographics for free!

If you're trying to step up your content marketing, Google Gemini’s new canvas tool is worth a look. It takes raw data and turns it into clean, shareable visuals with just a few clicks. Here’s how it works.

Getting Started

Head to gemini.google.com. I’m using the free plan for this walkthrough, so everything I’m showing here is available to anyone. If you’ve used ChatGPT or CoPilot, the interface will feel familiar same kind of text box, ready for prompts.

From Prompt to Visual

Let’s try it out. I asked Gemini for data on social media usage, plus some predictions for 2026. But to use the canvas feature, you’ll need to do one quick thing first: click “Tools,” then “Canvas,” before hitting enter on your prompt.

Gemini came back with a detailed report, 25 data points, key trends, and solid predictions. The info was solid, but all in plain text. Not exactly content-ready.

Here’s Where Canvas Comes In

Instead of copying all that into Canva or another design app, I clicked “Create,” chose “Infographic,” and let Gemini do the rest.

It built the entire thing right in front of me. First the HTML, then the finished visual. Clean, polished, and packed with all the data from the report.

What would’ve taken a few hours and a bunch of design back-and-forth? Done in minutes.

Quick Save Tip

One catch: you can’t download the infographic as an image yet. But here’s a quick workaround:

• Click “Share” to get a link

• Open that link in a new tab

• Zoom out a bit to see the full graphic

• Screenshot it or use a screen capture tool
  

Done. Now you’ve got a ready-to-use image for your next post, article, or deck.

Why It Matters

For marketers and creators, this skips the usual grind of data gathering, visual design, formatting, and revisions. Instead, you prompt, click, and get a polished result fast.
