AI scientific figure generator

Turn a scientific idea into a clear figure draft

Describe the subject, relationships, visual hierarchy, and intended audience. SciFig creates a visual starting point for expert review and refinement.

Describe the figure, not only the topic

Choose an example, then replace its entities, relationships, labels, and layout with details from your own research.

Scientific figure structures to explore

These AI-generated examples show possible composition and hierarchy, not verified scientific records.

Workflow

Make the visual logic explicit

AI-generated anatomical cross-section figure

Choose one communication goal

Decide whether the figure explains a mechanism, workflow, structure, comparison, or system. One primary goal gives the model a clearer hierarchy and gives readers a predictable route through the image.

Name the intended reader and scientific level
List only the entities needed for the central point
State the reading direction and grouping
Separate measured results from explanatory context

AI-generated physics concept diagram with labeled vectors

Use generation for drafting and alternatives

Compare several compositions before polishing one. Keep the useful hierarchy, then correct labels, symbols, proportions, arrows, and terminology with tools suited to precise scientific editing.

Check every label and scientific term
Verify arrows, structures, and causal relationships
Compare the draft with the source data or manuscript

AI-generated materials or chemistry structure figure

Review against data and publication rules

Check the final visual against source data, manuscript claims, accessibility needs, and the target venue rules for dimensions, disclosure, permissions, and AI-assisted imagery.

Confirm dimensions, file format, and resolution
Review the target venue's AI-use policy
Complete a final expert review before use
