Scientific Figure

Scientific Figure turns a text prompt, sketch, abstract or PDF into editable, publication-ready scientific figures, graphical abstracts, plots and posters. Output exports to PNG, JPG, SVG or PPTX, with journal palettes and a verifiable publication license on paid plans.

Scientific Figure is a web-based figure generator aimed at researchers who need illustrations, graphical abstracts, diagrams, plots and posters for papers. Input can be a plain-language sentence, a hand sketch, a photo, an abstract, or an uploaded PDF or image file. The system drafts a figure in roughly 30 seconds, and the homepage stresses that labels, colors and shapes remain editable rather than being flattened into a single raster image. In practice the workflow runs through a workspace with a chat-style panel, a canvas for edits and an export step. The assistant first restates what it understood about the request, for example the receptor structure and downstream events of a CAR-T mechanism, and then draws the result. Afterwards a user can correct a gene name, redraw a single panel, strip the background or recolor the whole figure to a journal palette such as Nature, Science, NEJM, The Lancet, JAMA or Okabe-Ito. Nine illustration styles, including 3D render, flat vector and line art, keep every figure in a paper visually consistent. Exports include PNG and JPG at 300 or 600 dpi, layered SVG and an editable PPTX slide. Beyond the general generator, the site offers dedicated tools for common submission needs: a graphical abstract maker, a poster maker, a visual abstract maker, plot makers for bar graphs, box plots and heatmaps, a PRISMA flow diagram generator, phylogenetic tree and cladogram makers, and many ready topic pages such as cell cycle, neuron, synapse and signaling pathway diagrams. Paid plans add a numbered PDF publication license that serves as proof of commercial and journal-publication rights, which an editor can verify online. The tool sits in the same space as manual illustration suites such as BioRender, and the site publishes its own comparison article on alternatives. Its differentiators are generation from source material such as a full paper, plus the scientific focus on journal conventions. The homepage reports use at 77 universities and research institutes across 35 countries, and new users receive 100 free credits without entering a card.
