I have written about how to create an infographic from scratch many times (you can see some of those <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>, and<\/span> maybe even here<\/span><\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n

But I have neglected a question that many new infographic creators<\/a> may run into. <\/span><\/p>\n

I would have never known about it until we talked to one of our customers. <\/span><\/p>\n

They asked us what size their infographics should be and where they should place their infographics in their blog posts.<\/b><\/p>\n

This may sound like an simple thing, but infographic size and placement could be the difference between readers seeing your infographic and readers missing it altogether. <\/span><\/p>\n

Because if it is too small to or do not know where it is placed then how are they going to read and share it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, I know how we do it at Venngage, but there\u2019s more than one approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

So I decided to look at 150 of the most popular infographics from 2017 to figure out how the other creators incorporated them into their content.<\/span><\/p>\n

I found out that there are definitely some best practices but in some cases, it really depends on the length of your content.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Make your infographic width around 800 pixels<\/span><\/h2>\n

A huge problem that new infographic creators can run into is not getting their infographic size right for their blog dimensions.<\/p>\n

It is one of those things that you do not think about until it is too late, and then a lot of time is wasted already.<\/p>\n

Most of the time, the infographic is way too small, which makes the image look terrible when you finally upload it to a blog post or article.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or your readers can barely read the text, like on this page: <\/span><\/p>\n

\"infographic<\/a><\/p>\n

When you encounter this issue, using an image enhancer<\/a> tool can help improve the readability. However, it’s always better to start with the right dimensions from the beginning<\/p>\n

I found that there is a generally agreed upon infographic width\u00a0of about 800 pixels.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"infographic<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, the average infographic width was 870 pixels, with the median and mode coming in at 800 pixels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of our templates on Venngage have a width of around 800 pixels:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"infographic<\/a><\/p>\n

Even if the width of your blog or site is much smaller than 800 pixels, I recommend sticking to that dimension for your infographic. That will ensure that the quality of your image is good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, this infographic was designed to be almost exactly 800 pixels wide:<\/span><\/p>\n
