ScienceFigs: AI-Generated Scientific Figures for Researchers
ScienceFigs turns a plain-text description into a publication-ready scientific figure in seconds, styled to match the visual conventions of journals like Nature, Cell, and eLife. Instead of spending an evening in Illustrator or wrestling with clip-art libraries, you describe the mechanism, pathway, or study design you need and iterate until the figure says exactly what your paper does. It is the research-and-academia studio in the FigsHub family, built for the figures that reviewers actually see.
ScienceFigs is built for researchers, PhD students, postdocs, and lab groups who need journal-quality figures for manuscripts, grant applications, conference posters, and talks.

Journal-style presets
Choose Nature, Cell, or eLife styling so your figure matches the typography, color restraint, and layout conventions editors expect.
Draft in seconds, not evenings
Type a description of your pathway, mechanism, or workflow and get a first draft immediately, then refine it through follow-up prompts.
Iterate with your co-authors
Regenerate variants, adjust labels, and swap aspect ratios quickly enough to respond to reviewer comments without re-hiring an illustrator.
Built for print and screen
Export figures suitable for manuscript submission, posters, and slide decks at the aspect ratios journals and conferences require.

Frequently asked questions
How does ScienceFigs generate scientific figures?
You describe the figure you need in plain language — for example, 'CRISPR-Cas9 editing workflow in a Nature style' — and ScienceFigs uses AI image generation tuned for scientific illustration to produce a draft. You then refine it by prompting for changes to layout, labels, or emphasis.
Can I use ScienceFigs figures in a journal manuscript?
Yes. Figures are generated at publication quality and styled after major journal conventions such as Nature, Cell, and eLife. As with any figure, check your target journal's policies on AI-assisted illustration and disclose its use where required.
How is ScienceFigs different from tools like BioRender?
BioRender is a drag-and-drop library of pre-made icons; ScienceFigs generates the whole figure from your text description, so you are not limited to existing assets. That makes it faster for first drafts and for concepts no icon library covers, and you can iterate by rewriting the prompt instead of rearranging elements by hand.
