Napkin AI

Napkin AI is an AI tool that turns text into visuals: diagrams, infographics, mind maps, flowcharts and data charts. It does not require prompting, because it works directly on the text you paste or import, and it is built for people who prepare presentations, articles, documentation, social posts or teaching material and want to explain ideas clearly.

How does Napkin AI work?

You paste or import text, select the passage you want to illustrate and the tool suggests several relevant visuals so you can pick the one that best expresses the idea. Every element is editable: you can change colors, icons, fonts and structure, split pieces apart and rearrange them to fit your brand or context.

Which kinds of visuals does it create?

• Infographics and concept diagrams from paragraphs.
• Structured mind maps from a single idea.
• Flowcharts that explain processes step by step.
• Editable data charts from numbers or text.
• Presentation-ready slides (Slides feature in beta).
• Automated generation through an API.

Which files does it import and export?

It imports PPT, DOC, PDF, HTML and Markdown documents and exports visuals as PNG, PDF, PPT and SVG for use in decks, blogs, documents or social media. The Brand Studio stores brand colors, fonts and styles so every visual a team creates stays consistent.

Is it safe for companies?

Napkin is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and GDPR compliant, and lets you opt your content out of model training. Higher tiers include team management and centralized administration, and there is a custom enterprise option.
