Frequently asked questions
What can an AI scientific figure generator create?
Create scientific illustrations of biological systems, mechanisms and visual comparisons from a research description. You can also build flowcharts and data plots in the canvas.
Describe the objects and relationships you need, then review the result against your sources. The tool does not validate experiments or replace scientific review.
Can I try it for free? Do I need an account?
An account is required to generate or edit a figure.
Eligible new accounts receive 20 welcome credits, valid for 30 days after activation and any required email verification. Availability and account eligibility apply.
Starting 24 hours after activation, an eligible signed-in visit can grant 10 credits for the current 24-hour cycle, subject to availability. These credits expire at cycle end; missed cycles are not backfilled.
Can I revise an AI-generated scientific illustration?
Yes. Select a result in the studio and describe what to change. The edit creates a new version so you can keep the original.
Flowcharts and data plots have editable canvas elements. AI-generated images remain raster images; they are not automatically split into editable shapes or text.
Which formats can I download?
Download generated illustrations as PNG. All signed-in users can export canvas flowcharts and data plots as SVG.
Pro, Ultimate and Max also include image layers and editable PPTX export. Canvas shapes and text stay editable; an AI-generated image stays an image inside the file.
How many credits does a generation or edit use?
The cost depends on the model and resolution and is shown before you generate or edit. For example, GPT Image 2 uses 10, 15 or 25 credits at 1K, 2K or 4K.
Each generation or edit counts as one operation, not a guaranteed final figure. Higher resolutions require a subscription or usable Credit Pack balance, subject to the selected model’s access rules.
Should I choose a subscription or a Credit Pack?
Choose a subscription for regular use, with credits that refresh monthly even when billed yearly. Choose a Credit Pack for a one-time purchase: pack credits are valid for 180 days, with five supported models available without a subscription while the balance is usable.
Unused subscription credits expire each month and missed months are not backfilled. You can cancel renewal anytime in Billing. Canvas image layers and editable PPTX require a paid subscription.
Will I be charged if a generation fails?
Failed or timed-out generations release their reserved credits. A completed generation uses credits even if you later decide to revise the result.
Can I create scientific figures for a research paper?
Yes. You can use the studio to prepare figures for a research paper. Review every label, relationship and scientific detail against your sources.
Before submission, check the image dimensions and your target journal’s requirements, including any rules on AI-generated figures.
How do I make a graphical abstract from a research paper?
Describe the study context, intervention, main result and takeaway. Ask for a clear reading order and concise labels; add a reference image if useful.
Review the graphical abstract against your paper before using it, and remove any unsupported claims.
