SciFig AI Illustration
Turn text, sketches, reference images, PDFs or photos into scientific illustrations. Refine a selected region, correct labels, adjust colors and continue in Vector Canvas.
Open workspaceBuilt for research communication
Make ideas, data and research workflows clear.
SciFig brings SciFig AI Illustration (AI scientific illustration), SciFig DataChart (data-driven charts) and SciFig FlowChart (flowcharts and diagrams) into one platform. Start with your own ideas, references or data, generate an editable figure, then refine every detail and export.
From separate tools to a complete workflow
Researchers need more than a first image. Figures change as a project develops: labels need corrections, data needs checking, and layouts need refinement. SciFig has grown from separate illustration tools into three connected workspaces that support this process.
Three workspaces, one research story
Choose the starting point that fits your material.
SciFig DataChart
Build accurate charts from your own dataset: SciFig DataChart plots every value from your file, and you refine the presentation by request or download the Python code behind the chart.
Open workspace
SciFig FlowChart
Explain a method, study design or process as a native SVG diagram, with every node, connection and label editable.
Open workspaceA figure is a workflow, not a single generation
From your material to an editable, export-ready figure.
- 1
Bring your material
Start with a research idea, reference, dataset or workflow. Check that you have permission to use each input.
- 2
Generate your figure
Pick the workspace and input mode; SciFig generates an editable figure.
- 3
Edit and refine
Refine labels, units, relationships and visual clarity in place. SciFig AI Illustration includes regional edits, text and color changes, white backgrounds, enhancement, upscaling and SciFig Vector Canvas.
- 4
Export for your purpose
Choose an available format for the workspace and export your figure for publication or presentation. You can download a license PDF for free.
Designed to support your judgment
Built around your expertise — every element stays editable.
Charts from your real data
SciFig DataChart plots every value from your file and SciFig FlowChart takes its counts from your description, while every illustration label stays editable for your expertise.
Keep evidence separate from illustration
An explanatory illustration is not an original research image. SciFig DataChart plots the data you provide, so keep your source data alongside the chart.
Explain how you used the tools
Record the tools, inputs and relevant editing steps. You can refer to SciFig’s citation templates for citation and AI disclosure; journal requirements vary.
Independently developed, with named responsibility
SciFig is an independently developed product. Alex Carter is the named founder and editorial contact for our journal guides. We publish practical guidance with sources and limits, rather than claiming that AI can guarantee scientific accuracy or publication.
