Visme allows users to access millions of assets right within the application.

From text widgets and animated text to millions of searchable images and thousands of high-quality vector icons in over 20 categories, there are tons of graphic assets for every type of project.

Blocks of Content

Although you can insert individual objects into Visme, you can tap into a library of suggested content (on the left panel under “Basics” tab in editor).  This allows you to quickly locate and drag-and-drop groups of complementary content to create your design.

New Templates & Themes

The new Visme offers users tons of new infographic templates that will make our previous selection look like child’s play.

Presentations:

Most presentation tools provide you with a set of presentation templates; This is how Visme started (which we now call “Legacy templates”.  But most people want to access more slides than the average presentation template provides.

So we launched a vast library of custom slides (over 900) in both modern and corporate styles so now you can create full presentation slide decks in matter of minutes.

Infographics:

Not only can you access hundreds of beautiful custom built infographic templates; but also start from a blank canvas and access a large library of content blocks which you can stack on top of each other and easily customize to build your own custom infographic in minutes not hours.

Create more than Infographics and Presentations

Visme isn’t limited with infographics and presentations. In fact, it allows you to create visual reports, printable flyers, posters, business cards, to blog graphics, social graphics and banner ads.

Manage your Branding

However, Visme has tons of fonts, icons, and graphic library but it also allows you manage and customize your own graphics.

You are free to upload own fonts, templates, add your logo for published content, and even set your own brand colors.

Full Animation Engine

Visme utilizes a powerful yet easy-to-use animation engine. Virtually any object can be animated with a couple clicks. Simply click on an object, and you can apply an animation preset from the “Animate this Object’ button.

You can also go to the Objects list and view the position of objects with respect to each other on an animation timeline and adjust to your liking.

In the new, upgraded version of Visme, everything runs off one timeline, including infograph widgets and audio, allowing for seamless control. This way, every animated object will appear on the same timeline.

Large Database of Fonts

Visme has over 120+ professional fonts that can be applied to virtually all text objects. Simply drag and drop a text onto the stage and click on the font drop-down menu to select from a variety of fonts in all popular styles.

From contemporary to handwritten, calligraphy or even typewriter, there are a variety of styles to satisfy any project need. Users can also change parts of a text; for example, they can apply a font/style to a single word and maintain a different font/style in the rest of the text block.

A New Text Editing

Add padding:

Visme allows you add vertical and horizontal text padding:

Add granular styling:

Highlight portions of text and apply custom styling specifically to that content. You can now highlight words or phrases within a text block and apply styling while maintaining the rest of the content’s formatting intact.

In the earlier version of Visme text editor, it wasn’t possible to have different fonts in the same text block. The new version provides further flexibility by allowing the use of multiple fonts and styles within the same block, reducing the number of layers needed to achieve the same effect.

Select and Move Multiple Objects

In Visme you can easily select any number of objects, move and duplicate them.

Lock/unlock objects

You can easily lock and unlock objects. Simply right click to launch the contextual menu and lock the object or apply other effects. It’s helpful when you need to select the small object behind the large image/shape.

Global Color Palette

A color applied to an object or text will be saved into a global color library so it can easily be applied elsewhere. Every time you create a new color, it will be added to your global library so you can reuse it in the rest of your project.

Audio Engine (Feature)

One of the most requested features is the ability to upload your own audio MP3 files. Visme provides a fantastic library of audio tracks that can be attached to one slide (for presentations) or used as background music for an entire project.

You can even record your own audio, attach it and manage the timing and fade controls from one panel.

Shared Library

Charts

Visme also offers powerful data visualization capabilities through a series of Infographic and Chart Widget tools.

Data widgets allow one to quickly turn simple data and numbers into dynamic, easier to understand visuals. From a speedometer to counters, ribbons and radial dials, each widget allows users to fully customize the data to display specific values.

The Chart widget offers seven variations of data representation in the form of pie charts, bar and linear graphs.
