AI Image Editor with Prompt for Scientific Figures
Upload a figure and type the changes you want.
Use natural language to revise a scientific figure: add arrows, simplify a pathway, recolor modules, improve contrast, or clean up a diagram layout.

Goal
Edit image with prompt
Designed for upload-first scientific figure workflows
Prompt editing works best when you describe concrete figure changes such as arrows, color, spacing, labels, and what should stay unchanged.
Upload the figure
Start from a research diagram, generated image, slide export, or figure draft you want to revise.
Write precise edit instructions
Use prompts such as add a dashed inhibition arrow, make the mitochondria panel cleaner, or simplify the label areas.
Review the revised image
Generate a new version and continue prompting until the figure communicates the intended scientific story.
Preview the expected before-and-after result
Each workflow starts with your source image and a precise instruction, then produces a revised figure draft you can continue refining in SciDraw AI.
No manual layer editing first
Describe the figure change in words instead of rebuilding shapes one by one.
Works with scientific context
Prompts can include biological, medical, chemistry, materials, and engineering terminology.
Good for fast iteration
Try visual alternatives quickly before committing to final design cleanup.
Scientific workflows this supports
Add arrows or callouts
Ask SciDraw AI to emphasize a mechanism, reaction direction, pathway branch, or highlighted region.
Clean figure layout
Improve alignment, spacing, color consistency, and visual hierarchy in a draft diagram.
Restyle a figure
Convert a rough illustration into a cleaner schematic, flat illustration, or journal-friendly look.
Questions researchers ask before trying it
Can I edit an image by typing a prompt?
Yes. Upload the image in SciDraw AI replicate mode, then type the specific change you want the AI to make.
What prompts work best for scientific figures?
Specific instructions work best: name the component, desired change, visual style, and what should remain unchanged.
Can I add labels with prompts?
You can request label areas or simple labels, but final publication text should still be reviewed carefully.
Can I keep the source figure composition?
Yes. Tell SciDraw AI to preserve the layout, main components, and scientific relationships while changing only the requested parts.
