How it works
How to create a scientific figure with FigEditor
- 1 · Choose
Pick how to start: type a prompt, upload a sketch, or add a reference image to guide the AI. FigEditor supports text-to-figure, sketch-to-figure and image-to-figure workflows.
- 2 · Describe
Add the research topic, pathway, mechanism, workflow, labels, visual style and where the figure will be used. The clearer the brief, the better the figure fits papers, posters, talks and teaching.
- 3 · Generate
FigEditor turns your brief into a scientific illustration, pathway figure, mechanism diagram or academic visual in about a minute, and saves it to your projects.
- 4 · Export
Review the result, refine layout, labels and style, then export it into your research workflow. Treat AI figures as a starting point and always check labels and scientific accuracy before publishing.
AI scientific figure generator FAQ
Can I start from text, a sketch or a reference image?
Yes. FigEditor supports prompts, sketches and reference images, so you can start from material you already have.
Can I publish the generated figure directly?
Use it as an editable draft. Before submitting, check scientific accuracy, labels, layout and your journal’s requirements.
Can I keep editing after generation?
Yes. You can refine the prompt, regenerate, edit regions and text, export images, and convert the figure to SVG.
Is my research data safe?
Prompts, uploads and generated figures stay in your workspace unless you share them. For confidential or regulated data, follow your institution’s data policy first.
