Researchers, graduate students, and academic teams that need to create publication-ready scientific figures, diagrams, and data visualizations quickly without design or coding expertise
About FigCanvas
FigCanvas is an AI scientific figure generator for researchers, built to create scientific illustrations, flowcharts, and data visualizations in one place. Users can describe a figure in plain language, paste methodology text, or upload a dataset, then get a first draft in under two minutes. It supports workflows for scientific illustration, data visualization, and flowchart creation, helping researchers generate pathway diagrams, cell biology figures, molecular mechanism figures, lab schematics, bar charts, scatter plots, heatmaps, volcano plots, and other research visuals without design skills or coding knowledge. FigCanvas is built specifically for scientific communication, using research-specific visual training informed by real scientific figures so outputs better match the structure, composition, and style expected in academic work.

Illustrae
Illustrae is an AI-powered scientific illustration platform designed to help researchers, educators, and professionals create accurate, publication-ready visuals quickly and easily. Its core feature is the intelligent canvas, an infinite, intuitive workspace equipped with tools like frames, arrows, textboxes, and live embed links. This environment allows users to build complex, multi-panel figures or diagrams without the steep learning curve of traditional design software. Illustrae's standout capability is its custom element generation: users can describe a scientific concept, such as "a neuron firing" or "the cell cycle", and Illustrae's AI will produce a tailored illustration in about a minute. Users can also start from sketches or photos. Editing is streamlined through a prompt bar, enabling modifications via plain language commands.
