Description
SciDraw AI is an AI-powered scientific illustration and figure-generation platform for researchers, graduate students, educators, and science communicators. It creates publication- and classroom-ready diagrams, graphical abstracts, and data visualizations from text, so users can produce professional figures for papers, theses, posters, and teaching in minutes rather than hours.
The tool offers three generation modes: text-to-image for creating from scratch, sketch refinement for turning hand-drawn ideas into polished visuals, and style replication for consistent output based on existing images. Multi-round conversational editing lets you refine labels, colors, positions, and layout. For data, you can upload CSV or Excel files and generate publication-ready charts such as box plots, violin plots, scatter plots, and heatmaps, with automatic matplotlib and seaborn code.
SciDraw AI includes journal-style presets for Nature, Science, Cell, PLOS, and ACS standards, colorblind-friendly palettes, and 6+ visual styles from flat to photorealistic. Figures export as editable SVG and PPTX for post-editing, plus PNG, PDF, EPS, and TIFF for any journal requirement, and prompts are supported in 11 languages.
The platform uses a credit-based, pay-as-you-go system with free daily credits, monthly subscription tiers, and a REST API where API and web calls share the same credit balance. You own the images you generate, with commercial and journal use available on paid plans.
