Details
FigEditor is an AI-powered scientific figure generator designed to help researchers create publication-ready visuals for papers, presentations, and posters. The platform allows users to begin with a text prompt, a sketch, or a reference image, and then refine every detail—such as labels, arrows, modules, colors, and layout—without starting over. It supports exporting figures as editable SVG or high-resolution PNG files, making it suitable for research workflows across various disciplines including life science, AI, engineering, environmental research, energy, and materials.
The tool offers a suite of specialized creation tools, including an AI Scientific Figure Generator, an AI Flowchart Generator, an Editable SVG Illustration Generator, and a Scientific Poster Maker. It also integrates multiple image models such as Nano Banana, Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana Pro, and GPT Image 2, allowing users to choose the model that best fits their needs. FigEditor is freemium: new users start with free credits, and subscription plans are listed from $9 on its pricing page.
