Edit every shape, label, and color in your browser

SciFig vector canvas is Illustrator-lite in your browser — purpose-built as a scientific figure editor.

• Zero Install, Zero License: No Illustrator subscription, no Inkscape install, no "export → re-import" round-trips. Just a browser tab.
• Every Element Editable: Every figure SciFig generates — from any mode — opens in the canvas with full editing capability. Click any object, tweak any property.
• Built for Science, Not Illustration: Scientific typography, journal-grade palettes, multi-panel grids, axis-tick precision — all out of the box.

Everything. SciFig vector canvas is Illustrator-lite, in your browser.

• Shape-Level Control: Text, arrows, molecules, cells, legends — click any object and edit directly. No layers panel to navigate.
• Design Controls: Colors, fonts, line weights, alignment, spacing, grouping — everything a designer would need, nothing they don't.

If you've used PowerPoint, you're already fluent.

• PowerPoint-Familiar UI: Drag, click, type, align — no Pen tool, no Bezier handles, no boolean operations to master.
• Zero Install: Browser-based. Nothing to download, nothing to set up on a new computer.
• Ready in Minutes: First-time users report producing their first journal-grade figure in the time it takes to brew coffee.

Yes. Full scientific typography built in.

• Add Anywhere: Click → type. Labels, captions, legend blocks, panel letters — drop text anywhere on the canvas.
• Scientific Characters Supported: Sub/superscripts (H₂O, CO²⁻), Greek letters (αβγμδΣ), chemical formulas, math symbols — all render correctly.

Yes. Build once in SciFig vector canvas, reuse across every paper.

• Save as Template: Any finished figure becomes a template. Save its layout, palette, typography, and panel structure for future papers.
• Lab-Wide Consistency: Share templates across your group so everyone's figures match your lab's visual brand.
• Personal Library: Organize templates by project, journal, or figure type (methods / results / graphical abstract) — find and reuse instantly.

Click the element. Edit it. Done in seconds.

• Every Object is Independent: Mislabeled protein, wrong enzyme, arrow pointing the wrong way — click once, type the fix.
• Undo-Safe: Unlimited undo/redo. Explore corrections without fear of breaking the figure.

Yes. Every shape stays independent, every label stays live text.

• Every Shape Independent: Arrows, labels, boxes, molecules — each a separate vector object you can select, move, recolor without touching the rest.
• Editable Text, Not Outlined Paths: Type stays as live text — fix a typo by clicking and typing, no redrawing characters one-by-one.
• Organized Named Layers: Layers are grouped semantically (Labels / Shapes / Arrows), not dumped as one flat layer of anonymous paths.

Yes. Often cleaner than the original.

• Re-draw, Not Trace: Illustrator's Image Trace duplicates blur. SciFig vector canvas reconstructs the semantic shape — your output can be sharper than a 1998 JPEG.
• Legacy Paper Friendly: Dig up a 72-DPI scan from a 1990s paper — SciFig gives you a crisp modern vector version.
• No Resolution Cap: Input can be tiny. Output is infinitely scalable vector — no more "figure blurry on enlargement."

Every format, straight from SciFig vector canvas — no middle step.

• Editable Vector: SVG — exports keep every element layered, ready for further editing in Illustrator, Figma, or Inkscape.
• Editable Slides: Native PPTX — every shape lands as an editable PowerPoint object, ready for lab meetings and conference talks.
• Journal-Ready Raster: PNG and JPG up to 8K, meeting 300 DPI at standard journal column widths. For heavier upscaling to posters or covers, pipe through Enhancer first.
