The free account provides one user the ability to create and publish an unlimited number of SWF Flash-based timelines that include ads served by TimeToast. Here are some great Web-based timeline creation tools you can use on your desktop or mobile device.

But on the other hand, these tools offer timeline-specific design, interactivity, formatting features, and purposeful ease-of-use the desktop applications can’t match. Granted, these single-purpose tools may not be as versatile in their export and sharing options as the SVG, HTML5, and SWF formats created by the desktop applications. And if you really only want to create a timeline once in a while, it may not be worth the time and effort to learn new skills like Flash, After Effects, or Edge Animate just for the purpose of creating a timeline.įortunately, specialized Web tools exist to create shareable, often embeddable timelines-many free. Although you can build interactivity in the aforementioned standard applications, it’s a lot of work and requires special output formats-for instance, SVG output from Illustrator and Folio, PDF, and SWF (Flash) output from InDesign. Interactive, scrolling timelines, however, require more interactive tools. Interactive timelines offer not only an unlimited range accessed via horizontal scrolling, but also virtually unlimited space for text, photos, illustrations, video, audio, hyperlinks, and other media to immerse the viewer in the story.Ĭreating a static timeline is easy with an application like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or even InDesign.

Event- or action-based progressions and regressions are easily understood by viewers when presented in a timeline. Its linear format is ideally suited to telling a story that occurs over time. One of my favorite types of infographics is the timeline. If you follow me on Pinterest you know I’m an aficionado of infographics and data visualization.
