Infographics - Clickable Links Assistance Needed

Infographics - Clickable Links Assistance NeededI have been searching the Internet high and low the last couple of days looking for instructions on how to embed a hyperlink onto an Infographic but all I keep finding are how to's for embedding code to generate or re-use an Infographic.

If you have any experience with Infographics and know how to do what I am asking I would love to find out HOW it is done

I thought I had seen an Infographic  last week that had a clickable link but cannot find it and now I am starting to question whether I actually saw it to begin with. Maybe it cannot be done after all and I am getting them confused with Slideshares. HA!

I know you can put a URL behind the Infographic (like many do with photos) but that is not what I am looking for.

Any help is appreciated.

You're welcome!  Hopefully it provided what you need to work in the link.

BLiz: After closer review it won't do what I had hoped. Still looking but thanks for reminding me of this excellent post.

If I find a solution I will let you know, Roy.

Anita, I'm guessing you haven't been doing this on your infographics then? If not, how were you driving traffic from that to your site?

Anita,

 

Embedding a link into your infographic happens when you first create the infographic.  If you have already created an infographic and are posting on say, Pinterest...Click on the edit button and enter your website under where it says source. That should accomplish the same end result.

Anita, I'm curious if you found your answer?  I thought Bill was onto something!  I used to do these with Pages (Word) and upload my graphic and then add the link and export the graphic to a .pdf.  I don't know if you can do the same with a 'hot' .jpg or not.

Tammie: Through the links on the Infographic sites I use to hold my Infographics AND embedded behind the Infographic (similar to how we do it for photos). I would rather the links be actually part of the Infographic if possible.

Dennis: We have been doing that with good results but that requires a little manual manipulation and really is just a link behind the Infographic not on the item.

Thanks for stopping by, Liz.

Debe: You can do it with slideshares quite easily...perhaps converting the Infographic to .pdf and manually inserting links (Ugh) is the answer. If that's the case, I might just want to do what Brad mentions in Bill's link above. Not ideal but it works.

No problem, thanks Conrad.

Dennis: We are using PiktoChart to create them but there are many sites that do the same thing.

Well...I thought Dennis had the fix but because we save the Infographics in .jpg format to use elsewhere, the link embed option does not work. It may not be possible with this saved format.

Anita,

 

Did you use the share button in the right hand corner?   It has always worked for me.

Dennis: Yes, they all get shared. The problem is the inability (and it looks like a shortcoming with infographics) to put a hyperlink in the actual Infographic. When the files get saved off the hyperlink is stripped. I have a few workarounds so it is not a show-stopper.
