The AI scientific figure generator

AI scientific figures, made simple.

An AI scientific figure generator for research papers: turn text, manuscripts and data into publication-ready scientific illustrations, diagrams and plots — then edit every label, layer and color on an infinite canvas.

No credit card · illustrations, flowcharts and plots in one place

Three pipelines, one agent

Scientific illustrations, diagrams and plots — one AI figure generator

The agent reads your request and routes it to the right engine — image models for illustrations, editable vectors for diagrams, and code that plots your data exactly.

Turn text or sketches into publication-ready scientific illustrations for biology, medicine, chemistry and beyond.

Prompt planned by the agent: layout, labels and palette

7 image models: Nano Banana, GPT Image, Seedream and Qwen

Convert to editable vectors, split into layers, or polish with AI render

2.3 Study design

Of 420 patients assessed for eligibility, 120 were excluded (86 did not meet the inclusion criteria, 25 declined, 9 for other reasons). The remaining 300 were randomised 1:1 to drug X 10 mg or placebo (150 each) and followed for 12 weeks; 140 and 143 were analysed.

Paper → Figure

Draw straight from your paper

Upload the manuscript and say which section or page to use. The agent finds the passage and builds the figure from your paper's own terms, entities and numbers.

PDF, Word, LaTeX, Markdown and plain text

Finds the passage from your words or a page number

Labels and numbers quote the paper — nothing invented

Tells you which page it used, so you can check

Sketch to Figure

From a notebook sketch to a journal figure

Snap a photo of your whiteboard or notebook. SciChat keeps your layout and redraws it at publication quality. Drag the slider to compare.

Image → Vector

Turn any image into an editable vector figure

Smart vectorization reads every label with OCR, removes it from the image, traces the graphics and puts the text back as real, editable text.

Labels become live text you can retype, restyle or translate

Graphics traced into clean SVG layers

A render-and-compare check scores fidelity to the original

Split complex figures into separate layers

Vector Canvas
Statistical plots

Statistics computed, not guessed

Upload CSV, TSV or Excel and describe the figure. Tests, fits and models run in code on your data, and the figure is sized to your journal's column.

Survival — scientific chart
Nature · single column 89 mm

Every p-value and fitted curve is computed from your data

Single- or double-column width for Nature, Science, Cell and more

Overlapping labels and cramped panels are fixed before you see the figure

Export the Python and R scripts and rerun them on new data

PPTX export

Drop it straight into your slides

Export vector figures as editable PowerPoint: every shape, arrow and text box is a native object you can re-word, recolor and move in PowerPoint, Keynote or WPS — no need to go back to the source file.

Labels are real text boxes you can rewrite or translate

Shapes keep their fills, strokes and arrowheads

Slides are sized to your figure, ready to present

SVG, PNG, JPG and R / Python script exports too

Templates

Scientific figure templates that already work

Biology, medicine, chemistry, AI and more. Every template pairs a reusable visual style with content you can swap — keep the look, change the science.

Agent chat

Ask for changes in plain language — “thicker arrows”, “add a panel for mTOR”, “match Nature style”.

Infinite canvas

Keep every version side by side, drag figures around, compare and iterate.

Vector editor

Select, move, recolor, resize and retype any element. Layers, undo and keyboard shortcuts.

How it works

01 · INPUT

Bring anything

Text, papers (PDF / Word / LaTeX), sketches, lab photos, CSV / Excel or reference figures.

02 · GENERATE

Pick your engine

Let the agent choose, or pick a model, style, palette and aspect ratio.

03 · EDIT

Refine on canvas

Chat for revisions, mark a region to change, drag flowcharts, split layers, turn images into editable vectors.

04 · EXPORT

Ship it

Editable PPTX, SVG, high-resolution PNG / JPG, Python / R scripts behind plots (paid plans), and a certificate.

Pricing

Simple pricing, generous credits

Start free with credits every month. Upgrade when your paper needs more — editing and exporting never cost a thing.
