AI Generation Modes
Three powerful modes for all your scientific illustration needs
Text to Image
Describe your scientific concept in words, and AI generates professional academic illustrations automatically. Perfect for molecular structures, experimental workflows, and concept diagrams.
Sketch to Image
Upload your hand-drawn sketch, and AI transforms it into high-quality professional illustrations while preserving your original composition and creative intent.
Edit Image
Upload reference images to replicate styles, or engage in multi-round conversations to continuously refine and optimize your illustrations until perfect.

Real feedback from researchers
Dr. Sarah Chen
Postdoctoral Researcher - Stanford University, BiochemistrySciDraw transformed my publication workflow. Created all figures for my Nature paper in 2 days instead of 2 weeks. The AI perfectly understands molecular biology concepts and generates journal-ready illustrations.
Prof. James Mitchell
Associate Professor - MIT, Materials ScienceOur entire lab of 15 researchers now uses SciDraw exclusively. Consistent visual style across all publications, and the multi-round refinement is incredibly intuitive. Worth every penny.
Emily Rodriguez
PhD Candidate - Harvard Medical SchoolZero design experience needed! The sketch refinement feature turned my rough hand-drawn pathways into publication-quality diagrams. My thesis advisor was amazed at the professional results.
Dr. Michael Park
Research Scientist - Max Planck InstituteCompleted all grant proposal illustrations in just 3 days. Reviewers specifically praised the 'exceptionally clear and professional figures'. Funding approved on first submission!
Anna Schmidt
Chief Scientific Officer - BioTech InnovationsReduced our illustration costs from $200-400 per figure to nearly zero. The ROI is incredible - we've saved over $80K this year while improving visual quality across all our publications.
David Kim
Graduate Student - UC Berkeley, NeurosciencePerfect for students! The free trial was enough for my entire master's thesis. The interface is so intuitive that I created professional signaling pathway diagrams on my first try.
