NotebookLM infographic style library
Understand the preset styles, choose the right look for your source material, and know when to generate an editable version here instead.
What NotebookLM lets you steer
NotebookLM infographic customization is useful when you want a quick visual summary from source material. The main controls are orientation, detail level, and preset style. Orientation changes how the image fits a page or social post. Detail level changes how much text and how many visual elements appear. Style changes the visual language, from loose sketch notes to structured professional diagrams.
How to choose a preset
Pick the preset based on the job the image needs to do. Study notes need fast recognition and memorable groupings. Reports need restraint and clear hierarchy. Scientific or instructional topics need labels that feel precise. If you are unsure, start with the style that matches the audience, then adjust the prompt to specify palette, typography, and emphasis.
The 10 NotebookLM preset styles
Sketch Note
Sketch Note works well for study summaries, meeting takeaways, and messy source material that needs to feel approachable. Use it when rough grouping, arrows, and highlighted phrases matter more than a polished corporate finish.
Kawaii
Kawaii is best for friendly explainers, school materials, lightweight social posts, and topics that benefit from softness. Keep the prompt simple so the cute styling does not hide the key facts.
Professional
Professional fits business recaps, training material, stakeholder summaries, and client-ready visuals. Ask for short labels, restrained color, and a clear hierarchy when accuracy and trust matter most.
Scientific
Scientific is useful for research notes, lab concepts, medical education, and technical summaries. It works best when your prompt names the variables, steps, or categories that need precise labels.
Anime
Anime brings energy to narrative explainers, character-based lessons, and audience-friendly summaries. Use it when the source has a story arc or clear roles, and keep factual labels concise.
Clay
Clay makes abstract material feel tangible through rounded forms and friendly depth. It suits onboarding, product concepts, kid-friendly lessons, and simple process explainers.
Editorial
Editorial works for essays, reports, newsletters, and trend summaries. Choose it when typography, pull quotes, and a magazine-like rhythm will make the source feel considered.
Instructional
Instructional is the right choice for how-to material, checklists, procedures, and classroom steps. Prompts should use action verbs and say which steps must be shown in order.
Bento Grid
Bento Grid is strong for dashboards, digest pages, summaries with uneven importance, and social cards. Put the main conclusion in the largest tile and supporting facts in smaller tiles.
Bricks
Bricks works when the source is modular: principles, building blocks, categories, or layered concepts. Use it to show how small parts combine into a larger argument or system.
The limitation
NotebookLM is strong for turning source material into a first visual summary, but it is not built for targeted second-pass edits. If the output needs a different color, shorter wording, a changed layout, or a corrected visual emphasis, generate it here instead, then refine the image with explicit edits.
