Scientific Illustration AI for Research Teams
Your AI scientific illustrator for figures, diagrams, and journal-ready visuals
Use SciDraw AI to create scientific illustration for papers, posters, and grants. If you are comparing tools or learning what scientific illustration is, this workflow gives you faster drafts, editable exports, and publication-ready structure.
Built for Scientific Illustration Workflows
Generate accurate drafts, then refine them for submission-ready use
Start with Scientific Context
Describe the mechanism, method, anatomy, or concept you need. SciDraw AI turns research intent into a structured scientific illustration draft.
Refine Like a Scientific Illustrator
Adjust labels, emphasis, composition, and iconography so the figure reads clearly for reviewers, readers, and collaborators.
Export Editable Assets
Download SVG, PNG, or PDF outputs so your scientific illustration stays editable for Illustrator, PowerPoint, and journal production.

Real examples generated by researchers using our platform
A scientific conceptual diagram of the AOS-gut axis rendered as a publication-ready flat schematic for a high-impact journal.
Physics visualization focused on hyperfine structure, g-tensor behavior, ultracold molecules, and relativistic spectroscopy effects.
Concrete admixtures infographic covering types, effects, replacements, and durability tradeoffs in a technical-educational engineering style.
Every Discipline, One Platform
From molecular biology and organic chemistry to astrophysics and geology, SciDraw generates accurate illustrations across all scientific fields.
Our AI understands domain-specific conventions — proper bond angles in chemical structures, correct organelle placement in cell diagrams, and standard notation in physics figures.
Try It FreeFits Your Research Workflow
Describe what you need in plain language, iterate with AI refinements, and export publication-ready files in seconds — no design skills required.
Start from a text prompt or upload a rough sketch. Adjust style, labels, and layout interactively, then export as SVG, PNG, or TIFF at any resolution.

Scientific Illustration FAQ
What is scientific illustration?
Scientific illustration is the practice of turning research concepts, methods, structures, and results into visuals that communicate clearly and accurately. It includes journal figures, mechanism diagrams, pathway graphics, and presentation-ready explanatory art.
Can AI help instead of hiring a scientific illustrator?
AI can accelerate the first draft and reduce production time, especially for repetitive layouts and common research visuals. You still control the scientific accuracy, labels, and final presentation, which makes it a practical workflow for teams that need faster iteration.
Can I edit the exported figure after generation?
Yes. SciDraw AI supports editable exports so you can refine labels, layout, and colors in downstream tools such as Illustrator, Inkscape, PowerPoint, or your journal submission workflow.
What file formats does SciDraw support?
SciDraw exports in SVG, PNG, TIFF, and PDF. SVG is ideal for vector editing in Illustrator or Inkscape, while TIFF and PNG at 300+ DPI meet most journal submission requirements.
Is SciDraw suitable for all scientific disciplines?
Yes. SciDraw generates illustrations for biology, chemistry, physics, medicine, environmental science, engineering, and more. The AI understands domain-specific conventions like bond angles, organelle placement, and standard notation.
How much does SciDraw cost?
SciDraw offers a free tier with 50 credits per month (10 illustrations). Pro plans start at $9.90/month for 1000 credits. PhD students and educators can apply for our Academic Support Program for additional credits.
