Figure Enhancer FAQ
Common questions about upscaling and enhancing scientific figures.
1.
SciFig's AI scientific illustrator comes with a science-aware upscaler — takes your figure from 1K to 8K without blur or artifacts.
- Science-Aware Upscaling: Unlike Topaz or waifu2x (built for photos), Enhancer understands scientific figure structure — thin lines, small labels, axis ticks stay crisp.
- No Artifacts, No Hallucinations: Your 4-point legend text stays a 4-point legend, not a smeared approximation.
- 1K → 2K / 4K / 8K: Match your use case — 2K for slides, 4K for journal print, 8K for posters and conference banners.
2.
Posters, graphical abstracts, journal covers — 2K won't cut it. SciFig figure enhancer upscales to 8K.
- Graphical Abstracts: Rendered at full-page width in journal viewers. Blurry GA = instant reviewer pushback. 4K minimum.
- Conference Posters (A0/A1): A 2K figure blown up to A0 pixelates visibly. Use 4K for single-column areas, 8K for hero images.
- Journal Covers & Large Screens: Cover art submissions, projected keynote slides, exhibition banners — all need 8K to stay crisp at 2+ meter viewing distance.
3.
Classic resolution trap. Easy fix.
- Screen ≠ Print: A 1K PNG looks sharp on your monitor but delivers only ~100 DPI at journal column width. Journals want 300 DPI.
- One-Click Fix: Upscale to 4K and your print output hits 300+ DPI automatically — no re-drawing, no redesign.
- Common Revision Request: "Please improve figure quality/resolution" shows up repeatedly in reviewer comments — Enhancer eliminates this round-trip.
4.
Yes. Any raster scientific figure goes into SciFig figure enhancer.
- Upload Any PNG or JPG: Legacy figures from old papers, screenshots from other tools, images exported too small the first time.
- No Source Software Required: Figure from BioRender, PowerPoint, GraphPad, Inkscape — if it's a raster, Enhancer upscales it.
5.
Figure Enhancer is designed to preserve your source while improving clarity, but every generative model can occasionally drift.
- Integrity monitoring: SciFig compares the result with your source and records structural-drift signals for quality monitoring. These signals do not block a technically valid result or determine billing.
- Delivery and credits: Technically valid results are delivered and the corresponding credits are deducted. Reserved credits are released only when no technically usable result can be delivered. Always verify scientific labels and values before publication.
6.
Yes. From GA to A0 poster, all in one tool.
- Graphical Abstracts: Single-image summary of your paper, rendered at 4K for full-width journal display. One hero, multiple zoom levels.
- Conference Posters (A0/A1): Multi-panel layouts exported at 8K. Crisp at arm's length and from across the conference hall.
- Journal Covers & TOC: Cover art submissions and Table of Contents graphics — at 8K, your cover stays magazine-quality.
7.
Yes. One click and you have a slide ready for your deck.
- One-Click PPTX: Pick PPTX from the export menu and you get a 16:9 PowerPoint slide with the enhanced figure already centered and aspect-fitted.
- No Round-Trip Needed: Skip the export-to-PNG → import-into-PPT shuffle. SciFig builds the slide for you.
- Drop Into Your Deck: Open the .pptx, copy the slide into your existing presentation — no resizing or reformatting required.
8.
1K, 2K, 4K, 8K — SciFig figure enhancer matches every use case.
- 1K/2K for Screen & Slides: Lightweight files for email, web, and presentation decks.
- 4K for Print & A4 Posters: Meets 300 DPI at journal column width and A4 conference posters.
- 8K for Banners & Covers: Zero pixelation at A0 poster size, conference booth displays, journal cover submissions.
9.
Common rasters in, journal- and slide-ready outputs out.
- Input: PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP (up to 20 MB per file, minimum 300×300 px).
- Output: PNG (recommended for journal submission), JPG (smaller files for sharing or email), PPTX (a single PowerPoint slide with the enhanced image embedded — ready to drop into a deck).
- Not Accepted as Input: TIFF, BMP, SVG, PDF, GIF. Rasterize SVG/PDF to PNG in Illustrator, Inkscape, or Preview before uploading.
10.
Yes. At any physical size.
- Print Resolution Map: Pick 4K for A4 / single-column journal print (300+ DPI), or 8K for A0 conference posters and journal cover art (still 300+ DPI at full poster size).
- One-Time Decision: Choose the highest resolution you need up front — the same PNG works for screen, slides, and print without re-enhancing.
- Zero Pixelation at Distance: Even at A0 poster size, axis ticks, labels, and thin strokes stay crisp at typical conference viewing distance.
