Web-based AI tool that generates publication-ready scientific figures from text, sketches, photos, or PDFs for researchers across biomedical, materials science
About PaperFig
PaperFig is an AI scientific figure generator designed for researchers who need to create publication-ready scientific illustrations without design training. Users can input a plain-language description, rough sketch, existing image, or reference to generate mechanism diagrams, pathway illustrations, flow charts, experimental setups, and conceptual frameworks across multiple research disciplines.
The platform supports multiple input types including text, sketches, photos, PDFs, and reference images. Generated figures can be edited using a built-in OCR-powered text editor to modify labels and annotations before export. Core figures are downloaded as PNG, with options to upgrade to 4K PNG or export as editable SVG and PPTX files after label fixes.
PaperFig operates on a credit-based pricing system. New users receive 150 free credits upon signup, with each figure generation costing approximately 50 credits. Paid plans start at $120 per year for 2,000 monthly credits, scaling up to $528 per year for 14,500 monthly credits. The tool is designed to support researchers through manuscript revisions, presentations, lab meetings, and teaching workflows.
