WHY SCIFIGURE AI
Made for research figures, not generic AI images
A general image generator invents chart values and hands you flat pixels. SciFigure AI plots your real data, keeps figures editable and costs cents per figure.
Charts drawn from your own data
Upload a CSV or Excel file, or paste your data, and get box plots, volcano plots, heatmaps, Kaplan-Meier curves and more, plotted from your actual values rather than painted by an image model.
Box · Volcano · Heatmap · Kaplan-Meier · ROC
Browse chart generatorsFix labels after generation
Cover any label the model got wrong and type the right one, add arrows and callouts, then export SVG or PowerPoint with those layers still editable in Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape or PowerPoint.

About $0.12 per image on the yearly Standard plan, and a failed generation returns its credits. No design-software licence or outsourced redraws needed.

RESEARCHER NOTES
How researchers use SciFigure AI in real work
Teams use prompts, sketches, and datasets to create cleaner figures for manuscripts, slides, and teaching.
Study Summary
SciFigure AI helped me turn an uneven pathway sketch into a structured graphical summary. I still edited the final labels, but the first layout was already close to submission quality.
Dr. Maya Lin
Postdoctoral scientist - molecular biology lab
Methods Visual
We use SciFigure AI when a manuscript needs a clean mechanism figure quickly. It gives the team a shared visual draft before we spend time on final polishing.
Prof. Aaron Miller
Materials science group lead
Thesis Diagrams
I started with rough signaling notes and got diagrams with compartments, arrows, and readable labels. That made thesis revision much less painful.
Nina Patel
PhD researcher - biomedical sciences
Proposal Figures
For grant drafts, I can describe the experimental logic and get a visual that is clear enough for collaborators to review and comment on.
Dr. Theo Park
Research scientist - translational biology
Research Charts
The chart tools help me move from CSV files to readable box plots, volcano plots, and heatmaps without rebuilding every manuscript figure manually.
Laura Weber
Research data analyst
Poster Layout
For conference posters, SciFigure AI helps me keep pathway diagrams and statistical figures visually consistent across the whole page.
Kevin Moore
Graduate researcher - neuroscience
Lecture Diagrams
I use it for lecture visuals and lab handouts when I need a clean diagram faster than I can redraw one from scratch.
Dr. Helen Brooks
Biology lecturer
Classroom Figures
When I describe a cycle, food web, or lab setup, I can get a clear starting visual and adapt it for worksheets or slides.
Jordan Lee
High school science educator
Before You Start
Scientific drawing questions, answered
Scientific drawing AI turns a description, a sketch or a dataset into a research figure: diagrams, illustrations, graphical abstracts and charts. SciFigure AI drafts the figure in minutes, lets you refine it by asking for changes, and exports PNG, SVG or PPTX.
A text prompt, a hand-drawn sketch or whiteboard photo, a reference image, or your own data, uploaded as a CSV or Excel file or pasted in. Charts are plotted from the values you provide.
Most projects start with a draft in a few minutes. After that, you can request cleaner labels, adjusted colors, tighter layouts, or more scientific detail.
They are made for it: 1K, 2K or 4K output, editable SVG and PPTX for final adjustments, and charts plotted from your data. Check every figure for scientific accuracy, and follow your journal's rules on AI-assisted images, before you submit.
Paid plans permit research and commercial use of outputs you create. You remain responsible for applicable law, third-party rights, model-provider terms, and your institution or publisher requirements.
Use Text to Image for a new concept, Sketch to Image for a rough reference, Image Editing for revisions, and data tools when your figure should follow uploaded measurements.
Credits are spent on generation, transformation, and enhancement tasks. Monthly plans grant credits each billing period; yearly plans grant the annual allowance upfront; one-time packs do not renew. Eligible paid purchases unlock AI image generation in Scientific Drawing.
No. Describe the figure in plain language or start from a template, then refine it by asking for changes. For fine control, export SVG or PPTX and finish it in the software you already use.
Send us your use case and the figure type you need. SciFigure AI is built for research diagrams, scientific illustrations, charts, posters, slides, and teaching visuals.
