SciFigureAI

SciFigureAI is a web-based tool for creating scientific figure drafts from natural language prompts, such as a research idea, paper abstract, or mechanism description. The page lists Text to Figure, Sketch to Figure, and Edit Image capabilities, with follow-up prompts and uploaded references used to revise a selected image within a project workspace. Outputs can be previewed for free and exported as PPTX or SVG files using credits. The site showcases example prompts for graphical abstracts, mechanism diagrams, protocol workflows, structure figures, reaction mechanisms, concept figures, and data workflows across fields such as biology, chemistry, physics, neuroscience, and ecology. Pricing uses credits, with free credits for early drafts, monthly plans, and PAYG credit packs, and the page states that paid plans and PAYG credits include commercial use subject to terms and third-party rights. The page also includes an FAQ covering journal disclosure, export formats, and resolution questions, though the answers are not included in the supplied text.

• Edit Image: revise a generated or uploaded image with follow-up instructions
• PPTX / SVG Export: download previews for free, or use credits to export files for slides and later editing
• Project workspace that keeps generated results in context for iterative refinement
• Example prompt library covering graphical abstracts, mechanism diagrams, protocol workflows, and data workflows

Best suited for

• Researchers drafting figures for research papers
• Creating graphical abstracts
• Preparing poster figures, grant proposals, and lab presentations
• Illustrating mechanism diagrams and protocol workflows
• Researchers without design experience who need first-draft scientific visuals
