Turn a note into an infographic

Draw a poster from a note, pick the style, shape and quality, then insert it back or export it.

An infographic is your note redrawn as a picture: the title at the top, your sections as panels and the numbers as a chart. It is drawn by the image model you switched on in Settings under Models, the same one that draws the images in the chat and the pictures in a slide deck, so it comes with Plus, Pro and Lifetime: on Pro it can be Grape's own image model, and on Plus and Lifetime it is one on your own key.

Which model draws it

Open Settings, go to Models and switch on one model under Image Models. Grape Pro Image Model draws on Grape servers and comes with the Pro plan, with no key to manage; Plus does not include it. With your own API key, on Plus, Pro or Lifetime, add an OpenAI, Google or xAI model with Add Model under Image Models and switch it on instead: the layout is then planned by your chat model and the poster drawn by your image model, from your device, and the provider bills you directly. If no image model is switched on, the setup screen says so and points you at Settings.

1Open Settings with the gear in the editor header.
2Go to Models and switch on one model under Image Models.

Creating one

Open the note. On desktop, type / and choose Infographic, or use the toolbar. On the phone, open the apps group in the toolbar and tap Infographic. A chip appears in the note; click or tap it and the setup opens.

1Open the note, type / on an empty line and choose Infographic.
2An Infographic card lands in the note. Click it.
3Pick the style, the shape and the quality, then click Create infographic.

The three choices

  • Style is the look, from minimal to corporate to hand drawn to retro, six in all
  • Orientation is the shape: tall, portrait, landscape or square. Tall is a long scrolling poster rather than a slightly longer portrait, and it needs gpt-image-2, which Grape Pro Image Model and your own OpenAI key on gpt-image-2 provide. The other image models offer the three page shapes
  • Quality is how long the image model may spend on the picture, traded against how quickly it lands. It is a gpt-image setting, so the row is not shown for Imagen or Grok

Grape remembers the last combination you picked, so the next infographic opens on the settings you already chose.

While it generates

The dialog shows four steps: understanding the note, planning the layout, drawing the image and saving it. Each one maps to a real stage rather than a timer, so the progress it shows is progress that actually happened. With Grape Pro Image Model the drawing runs on Grape servers and your machine does none of it; with your own image model the plan and the picture are requested from your device with your keys.

You can close the dialog while it works, and the card in the note says Making your infographic until the poster is ready. With Grape Pro Image Model it keeps going on Grape servers, and a phone hears about it even with the app closed; with your own image model the app has to keep running until the poster is drawn. Either way, Grape tells you when it is done, see Get notified when the AI is done.

When it is done

Open the chip to see the poster. From the viewer you can insert it into the note as an image, or export it as a file to send to someone who is never going to read the note. The finished picture is kept on this device. A poster drawn by Grape Pro Image Model also travels with the note when it syncs; one drawn with your own image model stays on the device that drew it, and another device can draw its own from the same chip.

Step by stepOn desktop
1Click the card in the note to see the poster.
2Insert puts it in the note as an image, and Export saves it as a file.

Getting a better poster

The layout is planned from your sections, so a note with clear headings and real sentences produces a poster that survives a close read. Figures written in the note get drawn as a chart instead of listed again. What the PDFs in the note say is planned in too, sampled across their pages, and only that text goes along, never the file.

When it fails

Most failures are worth another try. Two are not: a note with too little in it stays too little, and a note the image provider refuses on safety grounds gets refused again. Those two get an explanation rather than a retry button.

The other two

The same note can become a slide deck to present or a brainrot video if the audience is more likely to watch than to read.
