What is SciFig?

SciFig is a browser-based AI figure maker for research papers, presentations and teaching materials. Its three tools cover scientific illustrations, data charts and flowcharts. Users can describe a figure in text, upload research data, or use existing visual materials as a starting point, depending on their plan.

The illustration tool accepts prompts, sketches, reference images, photos and PDFs. DataChart turns CSV or Excel files into plots such as volcano plots, survival curves and heatmaps. FlowChart creates diagrams including PRISMA screening flows, model architectures, cycles and timelines. Templates and color schemes provide starting points for layouts and styling.

Paid plans support vector conversion, a built-in canvas editor, layered SVG files and editable PowerPoint exports. Generation, AI revisions, upscaling and vector conversion consume credits; canvas editing and exports are free once available. The free plan includes limited daily credits, basic illustration inputs and raster output. All plans include publication and commercial rights, while higher tiers add input modes, resolution and storage.
