PaperFig

PaperFig is an AI scientific figure generator built for researchers, turning a plain-language description, a rough sketch, an existing image or a PDF into a clear, editable scientific illustration for manuscripts, presentations and lab meetings.

Overview

PaperFig removes the manual work of arranging icons and labels in a research figure. Describe the mechanism, workflow, graphical abstract or journal figure you need, or start from a sketch or reference, and the tool produces a draft you can refine. An OCR-assisted text editor lets you click and correct labels and annotations directly on the figure, and finished figures can be downloaded as PNG, with a faithful 4K upgrade and editable SVG or PPTX exports after label fixes. The workflow is discipline-aware, covering biomedical, chemistry, materials, engineering, environmental and computer science topics.

Key Features

• Figure generation from text, sketch, photo or PDF input for mechanisms, pathways, flow charts and graphical abstracts.
• Editable labels and annotations through an OCR-powered text editor, so you stay the final scientific reviewer.
• PNG download with a 4K upgrade, plus editable SVG and PPTX exports for further refinement.
• Discipline-aware palettes and prompts suited to different research fields.
• Private projects, with support for invoices and reimbursement documentation for labs and grants.

PaperFig starts with 150 free credits and no card required; further generation, label fixes, 4K upgrades and editable exports consume credits, and paid credit plans are available, so it is freemium.
