What is sci-draw.com?
SciDraw AI is an AI-powered scientific figure and data visualization maker that turns text, sketches, and data files into publication- and teaching-ready figures for researchers, students, educators, and science communicators.
Turn prompts and sketches into scientific figures
SciDraw AI helps you generate scientific illustrations such as graphical abstracts, manuscript figures, diagrams, posters, and labeled teaching materials. You can start from a text prompt or begin with templates, then refine the result using multi-round optimization. If you already have a rough diagram, you can upload a sketch or reference image and iterate in the editor, adjusting labels, colors, and layout until it matches the style you need.
Edit exports for papers, slides, and posters
SciDraw AI focuses on outputs you can revise after generation. Exports include:
- Editable SVG for vector refinement in tools like Illustrator or Inkscape
- Editable PPTX to update labels directly in PowerPoint
- Additional chart downloads such as PNG, PDF, EPS, and TIFF (for data visualizations)
It also includes SVG vector conversion, plus 30-day history retention on the Free plan, with permanent history retention on paid plans.
Create charts from CSV/Excel with journal-style presets
SciDraw AI supports data visualization by letting you upload a CSV or Excel file. AI generates charts using one of 10+ chart types (including box plots, violin plots, scatter plots, heatmaps, and regression-style visualizations). You can then apply one-click journal presets for Nature, Science, Cell, PLOS, or ACS, including colorblind-safe palettes such as Okabe–Ito.
For reproducibility, SciDraw AI provides automatically generated Python code (matplotlib/seaborn) and you can download the chart in multiple formats.
Who SciDraw AI is for
It’s built for multiple workflows:
- Researchers creating figures, graphical abstracts, and TOC-style graphics
- Grad students producing thesis and roadmap visuals
- Educators generating labeled classroom diagrams and posters
- Science communicators making infographic-style explanations
Example figure themes include quantum double-slit visualizations, organic chemistry mechanism diagrams, molecular structures, immune/cancer mechanism schematics, and classroom biology posters.
