## Piktochart

Piktochart lets you publish a visual with clickable links on a public output page. Add a relevant source or website link to an infographic, then share the published URL. Treat this as a visual-content and referral opportunity, not a dependable dofollow or indexing shortcut.

Piktochart hosts published infographics and other visuals at `create.piktochart.com/output/...`. The useful link location is an element inside your visual: a source credit, an image, or a call to action that takes the reader to a relevant page. A URL written on an exported PNG is not a clickable backlink.

### Add a hyperlink to a useful visual

1. [Create a Piktochart account](https://create.piktochart.com/users/sign_up) and make an infographic or another visual that answers a real question. For example, turn your own research into a short chart and link to the full methodology.
2. Select the **text box, image, or element** that should link to your website. Click the **link/chain icon** in the top toolbar, enter the full external URL, and choose **Apply** or press **Enter**.
3. Use **Preview** to test the link. Piktochart's [hyperlink instructions](https://support.piktochart.com/article/378-adding-and-removing-hyperlink) explain that links work in previews, published output URLs, and PDF exports, but not in static PNG images.

The capture below shows Piktochart's own help article and illustrated link controls. It is a documentation capture, not a newly created account or an authenticated editor session.

4. Open **Share** in the editor and enable **Public on the web**. Copy the output URL. These are the steps in Piktochart's [sharing and publishing guide](https://support.piktochart.com/article/466-sharing-and-publishing).
5. Open the output URL while logged out and test the actual linked element. Do not share an editor-only URL or leave password protection enabled if you want public access.

### What the public example proves

The [Infographic Layouts visual](https://create.piktochart.com/output/46387267-3-infographic-layouts), published by Information Commons, contains clickable image references and a link to a Visme design tutorial. In the rendered page, those content links carry `rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"`. They are not clean dofollow backlinks.

The initial HTML did not contain those content anchors; they appeared after JavaScript rendered the visual. Another inspected public output used direct image links without a `rel` attribute. That variation is why this guide classifies Piktochart conservatively: do not assume an older visual or another account proves the link behavior of your new page.

### Check visibility and retention before investing time

Piktochart's sharing guide says free-user visuals are **no-index and no-follow**, while publicly published Pro visuals can be searchable. The same guide warns that visuals may be unpublished and deleted when free account access ends. It does not establish a universal free-access duration, so do not assume a free published page will remain online indefinitely.

A [free plan is listed on the pricing page](https://piktochart.com/pricing/), but verify your account's publishing, retention, and upgrade conditions before building a large asset library. Paying is not evidence that your outbound links become dofollow, that Google will index the page, or that a fresh output URL inherits the homepage's authority.

Use Piktochart when the visual itself is worth sharing. A thin infographic made only to hold a website link is unlikely to justify the effort.
