PicDoc's AI visual generation feature has just received a major upgrade!

This update introduces manual chart type selection before generation, significantly enhances AI-powered visual creation, and adds support for separating text from visuals to edit.

With these improvements, PicDoc can now generate a wider range of more advanced visuals from text, including Gantt charts, mechanism diagrams, and other complex infographic types. It also supports creating PPT slides, business visuals, and freely generated visuals for various uses.

Now, whether you're a complete design beginner, a junior professional, or a marketer or content creator who needs visuals fast, PicDoc can be a one-stop solution for all infographic situations.

Next, let's take a closer look at what these new features are all about and how to use them.

Feature Upgrade 1: Choose the Exact Diagram Type Before Generating

PicDoc now allows you to pick the type of diagrams you wish to create before generating.

By hovering your mouse over the Generate button, you'll see a clear list of available diagram types. By this, you can directly choose the particular infographic or data chart you need.

This feature dramatically improves accuracy when creating diagrams. Now, you no longer have to worry about missing the chart type you had in mind.

And if you're not sure which chart type to choose, do not worry. You can always click on the blue Generate button, and PicDoc will suggest infographic types automatically based on your text input. This keeps the original workflow intact, while giving you the flexibility to choose precision or speed whenever you need.

Feature Upgrade 2: Fully Enhanced AI Visual Generation for All Scenarios

Infographic type selection answers the question of "controlling what kind of chart to create", and the enhancement of PicDoc's AI visual generation answers a bigger one: "how many types of visuals can I create".

From PPT slides and complex diagrams to freely generated visuals, PicDoc now supports image generation across all scenarios, making it a true one-stop solution for text-to-visual creation.

1. Generate AI PPT Slides and Covers from Text

You can now generate complete PPT slides directly from text.

Just select your text and choose "PPT slides" from the menu, and create a fully usable presentation slide with well-matched visuals and text.

Before generation, you can choose different visual styles and theme colors, or upload a reference image, so PicDoc AI can learn from its structure and visual direction.

If you have clear requirements for the structure of the slides or the exact text to display, you can also add written instructions to guide AI's output.

For example, after selecting your text and choosing "Tech 3D" PPT style, PicDoc will generate a slide like the one shown below.

AND PicDoc also supports generating PPT covers in multiple styles through Free Generation mode, allowing you to complete an entire PPT presentation from scratch, all in one tool.

2. New Support for Complex Diagram Generation

With this update, PicDoc now supports complex structured diagrams, such as Gantt charts, topology diagrams, and mechanism diagrams.

These types of visuals were only possible using professional tools and hours of manual work. Now, you can generate them instantly by entering text description and selecting the appropriate chart type.

For example, the mechanism diagram below was generated entirely using PicDoc.

With enhanced AI generation capabilities, PicDoc now supports a wider range of infographic types and more advanced use cases. Whether you're working on project management, technical documentation, academic reports, or educational content, PicDoc adapts easily to professional scenarios across industries.

3. AI Free-Form Image Generation

Beyond infographics, PicDoc also offers a free image generation mode. By selecting "Free Generation" in the menu, you can create dialogue visuals, business graphics, or fully customized images according to your needs.

The generated visuals are still grounded in your text, and you can further refine the output by adding prompts that describe the visual style or usage scenario, choosing theme colors and ratios, or uploading reference images to guide the result more precisely.

This all-inclusive upgrade to PicDoc's visual generation abilities transforms it from an diagram generator into a multi-functional visual production platform for education, business, and content generation, especially well-suited for users who frequently need PPT slides, diagrams, or other visual representations of their ideas, but don't have access to dedicated design resources.

Feature Upgrade 3: Separate Text from Visuals for Editing

Worried about errors in the text in AI-generated charts or visuals? With this update, PicDoc now supports separating text from AI-generated images.

Simply click "Edit Text" in the toolbar to extract text from the generated image, and edit it independently.

With this feature, you can easily update wording based on the latest information or adjust expressions for different use cases, without regenerating the entire image.

For professionals who need to revise presentation materials frequently, learners or technical users who require precise wording, and content creators who demand high information accuracy, this feature significantly improves PicDoc's usability.

Conclusion

This update delivers an overall enhancement across the entire visual generation workflow, from pre-generation control, expanded generation scenarios, to an improved editing experience, making it even simpler for users to create high-quality infographics.

With the new PicDoc, non-designers can feel more confident when using AI to generate visuals, while producing charts, infographics, and PPT slides much faster and with full control.

If you frequently prepare presentations, write proposals, create visual content, or simply want to turn ideas into clear visuals, now is the perfect time to open PicDoc and explore all these new features.

FAQ

Q1: I'm not sure which diagram type to choose. Will this affect the generation result?

A1: No. If you're unsure which diagram type to pick, simply click the Generate button. PicDoc's AI will automatically analyze your text and match it with the most suitable diagram type.

Q2: Do I need to write very detailed text or prompts to generate PPT slides?

A2: No. If the basic structure of your text is clear, PicDoc's AI will generate a structure that closely matches your content. If you have more specific requirements, you can add further descriptions to refine the result.

Q3: Will separating text and visuals affect the image's design or layout?

A3: No. After separating text from visuals, all visual styles and layouts remain unchanged, and you can just edit the text itself.

Q4: Do complex diagrams (such as topology diagrams) require complicated prompts?
