Overview
How it works: Paste your abstract or upload your PDF — the AI analyzes the content, identifies key entities, steps, and relationships, and generates a structured graphical abstract in seconds. Review the result, edit text, labels, layout, and styling as needed, then export in publication-ready formats (PNG, TIFF) at 300 DPI.
Key features:
AI Understanding — Automatically extracts the core message, methods, and results from your paper to build a clear scientific schematic
Seconds to First Draft — Go from a blank canvas to a solid visual in seconds, then iterate instead of redesigning from scratch
Fully Editable — Adjust text, labels, icons, layout, and colors anytime to keep the science accurate and the visuals on brand
Journal-Ready Specs — Built-in presets for Nature, Science, Cell, JACS, ACS Nano, Advanced Materials, and more — output matches exact DPI and dimension requirements
Consistent Lab Style — Reuse colors, typography, and icon styles across papers so every graphical abstract from your team looks cohesive
Multiple Export Formats — Download as PNG, JPG, or TIFF at 300 DPI, ready for journal submission, slide decks, or social media
Who it's for:
PhD candidates and postdocs creating graphical abstracts for journal submissions
Lab managers standardizing visual output across multiple papers and collaborators
Science communicators sharing research findings on social media
Conference presenters building visual summaries for posters and talks
Pricing: Free to start with 5 credits. Paid plans available for more credits, higher quality generation, and team workflows. Daily check-in earns free credits.
Supported languages: English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), German, Korean, Portuguese, Russian.
