SciFig

SciFig is the AI scientific illustrator that turns any input into a publication-ready figure — and keeps every label, arrow, and layer editable.
Researchers lose entire days redrawing figures in Illustrator after a single reviewer comment. Template tools like BioRender lock you to a fixed asset library; raw AI tools like Midjourney bake mislabeled proteins into pixels you can't edit. SciFig solves both problems.
Six input modes, one workflow. Type a description ("CRISPR cutting DNA with PAM site"), drop a 40-page PDF, upload a reference image, snap a whiteboard sketch, or paste a lab photo. SciFig drafts a journal-grade figure in one of six publication styles — or lets Auto decide.
Editable at every step. Click any label to retype it. Circle any region to regenerate it. Inpaint regions, upscale to 8K, swap a wrong enzyme — without re-rendering the whole figure. Every shape, label, color, and arrow stays editable in the built-in canvas.
Eleven disciplines covered. Biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, energy, ecology, bioengineering, astronomy, agriculture, materials science. Mechanism diagrams, signaling pathways, experimental workflows, graphical abstracts, journal covers, lab apparatus, microstructures, systems and networks — all natively supported.
Exports everything journals actually need. Editable PPTX (every shape a separate PowerPoint object), layered SVG (open in Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma, Affinity), and 8K PNG/JPG that meets 300 DPI submission requirements out of the box.
Built for the way scientists actually work. Full publication and commercial rights on paid plans. Zero AI training on your uploads. Encrypted in transit and at rest. Tax-compliant invoices for grant reimbursement and institutional billing.
Free to start. 200 free credits, no credit card required. Paid plans from $12/month (annual).
