Overview
SciFig is an AI-powered tool designed to facilitate researchers in generating publication-ready scientific figures. The tool creates figures by transforming various types of input, such as text, sketches, references, PDFs, or photos.
Utilising special models like GPT Image 2 for journal submissions, Nano Banana Pro for slides and posters, and Nano Banana 2 for routine tasks, SciFig accurately serves different types of figure work.
This tool maintains quality balances concerning speed and accuracy for everyday routine figures preparation. SciFig also has an auto mode to accommodate the style overlay based on your prompt, creating figures in six publication styles, including Scientific, line, 3D, editorial, sketch, or watercolor.
SciFig provides an enhance feature that allows users to refine details without starting over. All generated figures remain editable after generation, and users can change any text's content, font, size or position.
Users can generate figures more efficiently by selecting a region and regenerating it with a natural-language prompt, or feeding a PDF for smarter edits.
With SciFig, you can export figures as editable PPTX or layered SVG. Furthermore, it has a built-in canvas where researchers can fine tune every shape, color, and label of the figures with full undo/redo options available.
This makes it a comprehensive tool for creating scientific figures.
