What is an animated infographic?

An animator will transform your static infographic into an animated infographic by adding interactive elements, pops of color, or smooth transitions. Objects will likely fade, flash, or move. These subtle micro-animations help highlight particular sections in your infographic.

As a result, you get an infographic that’s more immersive, familiar, and human. It’s a bit cliche, but animated infographics empower you to show rather than tell.
