What SciFig is
SciFig is a free AI scientific figure generator built for researchers. It accepts many kinds of input, including text, sketches, references, PDFs and photos, and converts them into charts intended to meet publication standards. The important detail is that the output is not a flat image: labels and layouts remain editable, so you can change text, font size and position after generation, or regenerate a specific area. Several models are offered for different jobs, with GPT Image 2 as the default for journal papers, Nano Banana Pro for slides and posters, and Nano Banana 2 for daily chart work. Export comes as editable PPTX or layered SVG. New users receive 400 free credits on the first day and 200 free credits without a credit card.
What you can do with it
- Turn a sketch, PDF or photo into a chart
- Generate figures from a text description
- Edit labels, fonts and layout after generation
- Export as PPTX or layered SVG
- Switch styles between scientific, line, 3D, editorial, sketch and watercolor
Who it is for
- Researchers preparing figures for papers
- Graduate students building slides and posters
- Labs that redraw the same figures too often
- Anyone who finds manual figure software slow
What to watch out for
Free credits are limited, so a heavy submission cycle will need a paid plan. Figures usually still require manual refinement before they satisfy a journal, since automated layout rarely matches venue guidelines exactly, and requirements differ between publications. Picking the right model takes a little learning, so run a few tests before a deadline. Treat the generated chart as a strong first draft and check every label for accuracy, because an error in a figure undermines the whole paper.
