A handful of our most-loved, publication-ready figures across disciplines. Click any one to load its prompt into the workbench above — then tweak it and generate your own.
Trusted by 100K+ researchers from leading institutions
Type a prompt, sketch by hand, drop a reference, upload a PDF, snap a lab photo, or refine on canvas — LabFig turns every path into a publication-quality scientific figure.
Whatever you start from — and whatever you need to ship — LabFig adapts to your real manuscript workflow.
Text descriptions, hand-drawn sketches, reference figures, research PDFs, lab photos — LabFig understands them all and converges on one clean, publication-ready scientific figure with the right panels, labels, and arrows in place.
Unlike one-shot AI tools, LabFig keeps every text, arrow, shape, and color fully editable after generation. Adjust a label, recolor a panel, or select a region and regenerate it with a single prompt — no Illustrator or Figma roundtrip required.
Match the visual standard of Nature, Cell, or IEEE in one click — Scientific, Line, 3D, Editorial, Sketch, or Watercolor. Or skip the style overlay entirely and let Auto follow your prompt, then keep the same style consistent across every scientific figure in your paper.
Snap a photo of your whiteboard or notebook sketch and LabFig redraws it as a journal-grade scientific figure in seconds — preserving your intent, fixing the geometry, replacing handwriting with clean typography, and aligning every block, arrow, and label to a consistent visual system.
Vector-first, editable down to every label, and tuned for journal standards — what actually sets the LabFig scientific figure generator apart from generic AI image tools.
Every label, arrow, and color stays editable after generation — relabel, recolor, or regenerate a single region without leaving the canvas.
Whatever you start from, LabFig converges on the same clean, submission-ready scientific figure.
Match the look of Nature, Cell, or IEEE in a single click — or let Auto follow the tone of your prompt.
Feedback from PhD students, postdocs, and journal authors using LabFig in their daily work.
I used to spend a full day in vector software just to redraw a single experimental schematic. With LabFig I get a clean scientific figure draft in minutes and only fine-tune the labels.
The Sketch to Figure mode fits how I actually think. I draw the idea on paper, snap a photo, and LabFig turns it into a scientific figure I can put straight into a manuscript.
Figure Enhancer noticeably cleaned up the color and line weights on a reused figure. Reviewers stopped flagging readability issues in our last revision.
Reference to Figure helps my lab keep a consistent scientific figure style across papers without making every student a designer.
PDF to Figure saved me when I needed to adapt an old schematic for a review article. The redrawn version was editable and clearly cited.
Vector Canvas is the part I keep coming back to. I can adjust labels and arrows precisely, then export an SVG that drops straight into our submission template.
