SciDrawAI

SciDraw AI is an AI-powered platform for creating publication- and classroom-ready scientific figures without design skills. Describe your experiment, mechanism, pathway, or concept in plain language—or upload a sketch or reference image—and the tool generates journal-quality illustrations, TOC-style graphics, workflow diagrams, and more.

You can refine outputs through multi-round editing, then export your final figure for real-world use. SciDraw AI includes editable SVG and PPTX exports, letting you fine-tune labels and layout directly in tools like Illustrator or PowerPoint. It also supports PNG, plus data-chart exports like PDF, EPS, and TIFF, helping you move from draft to submission-ready assets.

Beyond illustrations, SciDraw AI provides data visualization to create scientific charts from CSV or Excel. Upload data, let the AI choose from chart types (including box, violin, scatter, heatmap, and regression), and apply one-click journal style presets with colorblind-safe palettes. You can review mapping and calculations before exporting, and download both the chart outputs and the Python code that reproduces them.

Who it’s for: researchers, grad students, educators, and science communicators who need figures for papers, theses, posters, presentations, and teaching materials.

Pricing/credits: New users get 10 free credits on signup plus 5 daily free credits. Plans use a credit-based system with Free ($0, 10 credits and 5 daily credits) and paid options starting at Standard ($10/month billed yearly) for 300 credits/month, with higher tiers for more credits.
