You’ll have a clean, visual one-slide summary of your ideas in under two minutes — no design skills needed. This guide shows how to let Copilot do the heavy lifting while you stay in PowerPoint.

💡 Tip: tap a step’s number when you finish it — a green tick appears and your browser remembers how far you got.

✅ Before you start

A Microsoft 365 account (free or paid)
PowerPoint open on your computer (desktop app or web)
A slide with bullet points you want to turn into an infographic
Rough time: 5 minutes

Step 1 of 5

Open your slide with bullet points

Open PowerPoint and open the slide that contains the bullet points you want to turn into an infographic. You’ll see the slide in the center of the screen with the bullet list on the left in the “Outline” pane or in the main slide area.

✅ You'll know it worked when

you can clearly see the bullet points on the slide.

Step 2 of 5

Launch Copilot in PowerPoint

Look for the Copilot button in the PowerPoint ribbon at the top of the screen. It usually sits near the right edge, next to the Help icon. Click it once to open the Copilot panel on the right side of the screen.

A sidebar labeled Copilot will slide in and show a prompt box that says “Ask me anything about this document.”

✅ You'll know it worked when

you see the Copilot panel open with a prompt box ready for typing.

Next step ↓

Step 3 of 5

Ask Copilot to create an infographic

In the Copilot prompt box, type or paste:

💬 ExampleTurn these bullet points into a clean infographic on this slide.

Press Enter or click the arrow. Copilot will read your bullets and usually replace them with a simple chart, icon set, or visual layout on the same slide.

✅ You'll know it worked when

the bullet points are gone and a visual layout appears on the slide.

Next step ↓

Step 4 of 5

Review and tweak the result

Look at the new infographic Copilot created. If the colors or icons don’t quite match your style, click inside the graphic and use the PowerPoint formatting tools to change fonts, colors, or sizes. You can also drag the corners to resize the whole graphic.

If the layout feels too crowded, ask Copilot again:

💬 ExampleMake the infographic simpler and use larger icons.

✅ You'll know it worked when

the graphic looks cleaner and easier to read.

Next step ↓

Step 5 of 5

Export the slide as an image

With the infographic on screen, go to File → Export → Save as Picture. Choose PNG or JPG, pick a folder, and click Save. The slide’s graphic is now a standalone image you can share in emails or chat apps.

✅ You'll know it worked when

you find the image file in your chosen folder.
