Infogram vs AECharts: Animated Chart Videos vs Infographics (2026)
Infogram has no MP4 video export on any plan. AECharts exports 1080p MP4 in ~5 seconds. They serve different purposes.
Infogram is built for infographics, reports, and web-embedded data stories. It has a strong template library for that workflow — interactive charts, maps, and visual documents published inside articles or dashboards. There is no MP4 video export on any Infogram plan; animated content exports as GIF only.
AECharts is built for animated chart videos. Bars grow to their exact values, lines trace over time, bar races rank and re-rank as data changes. It exports 1080p MP4 in ~5 seconds with social format presets for LinkedIn, Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. It has no infographic templates and no web embeds.
If you publish to web articles or dashboards and need interactive embeds, Infogram is the right tool. If you need animated video for social media or slides, Infogram cannot do it.
Use Infogram when
- You're publishing interactive charts, maps, or data stories in web articles

Use AECharts when
- You need MP4 video — Infogram cannot export video on any plan
- You're publishing to LinkedIn, Reels, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts
- The animation needs to reflect the data — bars grow to exact values
