LEARN ABOUT PICTOGRAMS

What is a Pictogram?

A pictogram or pictograph is a type of data visualization that uses icons and other visual elements to represent numbers or percentages. If you’re creating an infographic or sharing numbers in a presentation or report, pictograms are a great way to offer a graphical element to your content.

Pictograms are often referred to as icon arrays, but they're essentially any way to visually represent numbers through pictures, objects or icons. You can create your own pictogram right inside Visme's pictogram maker.
