From Image to Editable Infographic in Seconds

Learn how Layout Labs AI converts static images into fully editable infographic files you can customise, export, and share.


One of the most requested features in infographic tools has always been the ability to take an existing image — a screenshot, a scanned diagram, or a photo of a whiteboard — and turn it into something editable. Layout Labs AI makes this possible.

The process starts with our image recognition pipeline, which analyses the visual content of your upload. It identifies regions of text, icons, charts, arrows, and decorative elements. Each region is mapped to a corresponding editable component in the output file.

The result isn't a rough approximation. The output preserves your original layout while replacing flat pixels with vector-based, repositionable elements. Text becomes live text you can retype. Charts become data-linked objects. Icons swap out with a single click.

For teams working with legacy content — old slide decks, printed materials, or archived reports — this feature unlocks years of visual assets that were previously stuck in static formats.

Exporting is just as straightforward. Once you've made your changes, you can export to PNG, SVG, or our native format for future editing. Sharing via a public link is built in, so collaborators can view your work without needing an account.
