What you need

Infographics in Gemini Notebook are only for users 18 and over.

  1. Step 1: Create a notebook with your sources

    3 min

    The infographic only draws on what you add here, so pick sources you trust.

    1. Go to notebook.google.com and sign in with your Google account.
    2. Select Create new notebook, then Upload a source in the pop-up.
    3. Add your PDFs and docs. For web pages, paste the links, one per line.

    You should see your files listed in the Sources panel, and a short summary of them in the Chat panel.

    A web page won't import?

    Paywalled pages aren't supported, and only the page's text is read. Copy the text, then add it with Add sources > Copied text.

    Gemini Notebook was called NotebookLM until July 2026. Old notebooklm.google.com links now open it.

  2. Step 2: Set up the infographic

    3 min

    A short brief on colors, audience and focus gets you closer on the first try.

    1. In the Studio panel, find Infographic and click its pencil icon to customize it.
    2. Pick the output language, a level of detail and an orientation. Portrait suits phones and social posts.
    3. Choose a visual style, such as Professional or Sketch Note, or let Gemini Notebook pick one.
    4. Paste the prompt below into the prompt box and fill in the brackets.
    Your prompt
    Make an infographic for [YOUR AUDIENCE] about [YOUR TOPIC]. Use only these colors: [HEX 1], [HEX 2] and white. Lead with these 3 facts: [FACT 1], [FACT 2], [FACT 3]. Keep every label under 6 words. Use simple icons, no photos, and plenty of white space.

    You should see your choices and your prompt in the customization panel, ready to go.

    Too much text crammed into one image?

    Set the level of detail to Concise. Detailed (beta) packs in more words, which get hard to read on a phone.

  3. Step 3: Generate it and check every fact

    5 min

    Google warns that infographics can contain visual or factual errors, so check yours before anyone else sees it.

    1. Start the infographic. It builds in the background and can take a couple of minutes.
    2. Open it from the Infographic section of the Studio panel, and zoom in on each number, date and name.
    3. In the chat, paste the prompt below with the facts you see, and send it.
    4. Hover over each citation to read the quoted line from your source.
    Your prompt
    Check these facts against my sources. For each one, quote the exact line that supports it, or say Not found.

[PASTE EACH NUMBER, DATE AND NAME FROM THE INFOGRAPHIC]

    You should see each fact with a citation next to it, or marked Not found.

    A fact is wrong or Not found?

    Click the pencil icon on Infographic again. Add the right figure to your prompt, such as "The 2025 total is [NUMBER]", and make a new one.

    To see the prompt behind an infographic, pick View custom prompt from the three dots menu next to its title.

  4. Step 4: Download or share it

    1 min

    A PNG file goes anywhere, while a link opens the graphic inside your notebook.

    1. Open the three dots menu next to the infographic.
    2. Pick the download option to save it as a PNG file, or Share to copy a link.

    You should see a PNG file of the infographic in your downloads folder.

    The share link won't open for other people?

    The notebook itself must be shared with them, or open to Anyone with a link. Public sharing is off for Workspace Enterprise and Education accounts.

  5. Step 5: Build a custom version in Gemini

    3 min

    Gemini's image model gives you more control over the layout, and your checked facts keep it accurate.

    1. Go to gemini.google.com, open the sidebar and click Images.
    2. Paste the prompt below with your checked facts, and send it.
    3. Ask for one change at a time, such as a spelling fix or a new color, until it fits your brand.
    4. Hover over the image and click Download full size.
    Your prompt
    Create an infographic as a 9:16 portrait image. Turn [YOUR TOPIC] into a cheat sheet with a title and 5 key takeaways. Use only these facts, spelled exactly as written:
[PASTE YOUR CHECKED FACTS]
Colors: [HEX 1], [HEX 2] and white. Flat icons, large readable text, no photos.

    You should see a tall cheat sheet image with your facts, in your colors.

    Some words are misspelled or blurry?

    Ask Gemini to fix just that word, and type the right spelling in quotes. On a Google AI plan, click More > Redo with Pro for sharper text.

    Free accounts use Nano Banana 2 and download at 1K. Google AI plans add Nano Banana 2.1 and 2K downloads. Every image carries a visible watermark.

You get

A fact-checked infographic as a PNG, plus a custom version in your brand colors
