LabFig

LabFig is an AI scientific figure generator designed for researchers and graduate students. It accepts text descriptions, sketches, reference figures, research PDFs, and lab photos to produce publication-ready scientific figures. The tool emphasizes editable vector output and workflow integration with manuscript preparation, without requiring design software or Illustrator rounds.

Describe the figure you need or upload a sketch, reference figure, lab photo, or paper PDF, then pick a mode to generate an editable, publication-ready figure. Users refine labels, colors, and arrows on a vector canvas and export in SVG, PDF, or 300 dpi PNG.

LabFig provides a vector-first environment where every label, arrow, and color stays editable after generation. It offers journal-grade visual styles and a sketch-to-figure path to convert whiteboard or notebook drawings into publishable figures. The workflow supports multiple inputs and preserves a consistent visual system across figures.

Pricing, plans, platforms, and limits appear in LabFig’s pricing and docs pages, including style presets, input modes, and export options. The service describes its license terms, academic-use rights, and the option for commercial-use on certain plans, along with typical plan structures and billing cadence.
