How to make figures for scientific papers?

Decide the single message the figure must carry, sketch the layout, then build it at the journal's final size. With Scientific Figure AI you describe that message, review the planned elements and labels, generate, and refine the labels on the canvas before exporting at 300 or 600 dpi.

What is scientific illustration?

Scientific illustration is drawing made to explain science accurately: anatomy, cells, molecules, instruments and processes. Unlike decorative art, it prioritizes correct structure, clear labels and consistent conventions so readers can trust what they see.

Can I edit the labels and arrows after generating?

Yes. In Scientific Figure AI, labels become editable text and arrows become vector objects, so you can change wording, size, color and position without generating again.

What file formats can I export?

Scientific Figure AI exports PNG and JPG at 300 or 600 dpi, transparent PNG, SVG with vector labels, and PPTX that stays editable in PowerPoint.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. A free account gets 100 credits when you sign up and 10 more for each daily check-in; check-in credits are valid for 30 days. Exports from a free account carry a small watermark.

About Scientific Figure AI

Screenshot of the Scientific Figure AI homepage — The Scientific Figure AI homepage

Scientific Figure AI is an AI-powered tool that generates publication-ready scientific illustrations from text descriptions, whiteboard sketches, photos, or research abstracts. Users describe their research mechanism, upload visual references, or paste paper abstracts, then review the planned composition before generation.

Every element remains editable after generation: labels are rebuilt as real text, arrows as vector objects, and users can rename, recolor and reposition without regenerating. The tool checks accuracy by reading back labels and comparing them to the original plan, flagging suspicious terms for reviewer approval.

Exports support journal requirements at 300 or 600 dpi in PNG, JPG, SVG with editable labels, or PowerPoint format. Paid plans include publication license certificates with verification. The tool includes free diagram templates (PRISMA flow diagrams, phylogenetic trees) and supports scientific conventions like colorblind-safe palettes from Nature, Science, Cell and other major journals.
