Common Questions
Does Piktochart support APA citation formatting?
At the moment, Piktochart does not offer built-in support for APA citation formatting. If you need to include APA-style references in your visual, we recommend manually formatting the text in accordance with APA guidelines using a text box. Feel free to use external tools (like citation generators) to create your APA references and paste them into your design in Piktochart.
