With the improvements in digital technologies has come the ability to give visual representation to complex ideas. One of the most effective visual representations in the marketing sphere is the infographic. These simple but powerful images can deliver important information to your target audience while reinforcing brand identity and improving audience engagement. But a good infographic can be hard to create, so we’re giving you a list of the top 50 free infographic vectors to get you started.

What are Vectors?

Vectors use mathematical equations that are then translated into points. Those points are connected by lines and curves called vectors paths. The combination of points and vectors paths makes up all of the shapes in an image. Vectors are often compared to raster graphics, which use pixels and must be fixed to a certain size; scaling the image to a size outside of the predetermined pixel range will cause a raster image to lose quality.

Why Use Infographic Vectors?

Perhaps the greatest benefit of a vector graphic is that you can scale its image to any size without losing quality. Vector file sizes are also small, so if you load a vector image onto your website, it won’t slow down loading speed like a non-vector image might. Infographics, which incorporate a heavy amount of design elements, can potentially slow down your website if they’re not efficiently sized. That means using a vector image for the visual aspect of the infographic allows you to have all the benefits of this digital medium without sacrificing any website quality.

Not sure how to make a vector infographic of your own? Fret not. There are countless infographic vectors out there, acting as templates with space for you to add your own text to the eye-catching visuals. Here, in no particular order, are our favorite 50 free infographic vectors.

Vectors for Process and How-To Infographics

This is one of our favorite types of infographics. Processes and how-to guides often need some visual help to make sense, and these infographics do just that. Want to clarify your product development process for stakeholders? Need to show your audience how to access a certain resource on your website? Process and how-to infographics will take your audience from confusion to clarity.
