Napkin AI is a visual creation platform that turns text into editable diagrams, infographics, charts, mind maps, flowcharts, and presentation-ready slides with AI-powered generation and customization.
Napkin AI is an AI-powered visual communication platform designed to transform written ideas into editable business visuals. Users can paste text or import existing content and generate diagrams, infographics, flowcharts, mind maps, data charts, timelines, and other visual formats without manually designing each element.
The platform also includes Napkin Slides for creating complete presentations, along with visual customization, brand styles, file imports, multiple export formats, team collaboration, and programmatic visual generation through the Napkin API. Visuals can be exported for use in PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva, documents, blogs, social content, and other workflows.

Napkin uses AI credits to measure generation usage. Free accounts receive 500 credits each week, Plus receives 10,000 per month, and Pro receives 30,000 per month. Credits included with subscriptions reset according to the plan and do not roll over, while separately purchased top-up credits can roll over and do not expire. Napkin states that visual generation generally consumes approximately one credit per selected word, although more complex outputs or future capabilities may use credits differently. A single Napkin subscription covers both Napkin Visuals and Napkin Slides at no separate charge.
