MADE FOR RESEARCH

Figure drafts for papers, presentations, and teaching

From a methods discussion to your next lab meeting, turn complex relationships into a visual starting point.

Scientific draft showing a single-cell analysis workflow
A clearer starting point for your next discussion.

Journal & methods drafts

Map experimental steps and relationships before you refine the details for your manuscript.

Lab meetings & presentations

Give your audience a visual path through the question, approach and next experiment.

Concepts worth teaching

Break down a mechanism or model into an illustration you can discuss and check together.

Thesis & study plans

Sketch your study design and technical route for a thesis proposal or grant discussion.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Scientific figure maker FAQs

Understand the inputs, outputs and practical limits before you start.

Read the figure-making guide
What types of scientific figures can I create?

Create drafts of experimental workflows, model architectures, and biological mechanisms. Start from a template or describe the elements and relationships you need. Review the scientific details before using your result.

What should I write in my prompt?

Describe the scientific context, key elements, relationships, and layout. Include the exact wording of labels in your description and explain what each arrow represents. Submit only research you are authorized to share with generation providers.

Can I use my own reference images?

Yes. After signing in, attach up to 3 reference images in PNG, JPEG or WebP format, with a maximum of 5 MB each. References guide the generation; they are not editable layers.

What can I download?

Export as PNG or JPEG with your chosen image width and DPI. Available output dimensions depend on the source image. Changing DPI does not add detail or make labels editable.

Can I edit individual labels or objects?

Exports are raster images. Individual labels and shapes are not separate editable objects. Update your description or references and generate another draft when changes are needed. Each new generation uses credits.

Can I use the result in a paper?

Treat the result as a draft. Verify the science and text, check the image at its final print size and follow your publisher’s disclosure and file requirements.

Is it free to try?

The current trial credit allowance and generation cost are shown in the studio when configuration is available. You can view one-time credit packs on the Pricing page.

What happens if generation fails?

A confirmed failed generation returns its credits. An uncertain submission is checked before it is declared failed. A retry is a new generation.

Who can see my research and figures?

Projects and downloads require your account. Your description and any reference images are sent to the generation providers to produce the image. Check the retention information shown in the studio, and keep local copies of results you need.
