Scientific figure tools
Free tools covering the figure workflow: AI generators for schematics and abstracts, charts rendered from your real data, and a browser-based resolution checker.
Graphical Abstract Maker
Turn a research abstract or key finding into a single-panel graphical abstract draft. Start with the scientific story, then review every label, relationship and exported file before submission.
AI generatorPRISMA Flow Diagram Generator

Describe the molecules, cells and relationships. LitFigure drafts one mechanism figure, then you check every arrow before it goes into a paper.
AI generatorPathway Diagram Generator
List the pathway steps and which ones activate or inhibit the next. LitFigure drafts the figure; you confirm the biology.
AI generatorExperimental Workflow Diagram
Write the methods in order. LitFigure drafts a workflow figure with labeled steps instead of a paragraph of arrows you have to invent.

Start from a description, a rough sketch, or a figure you already have. LitFigure drafts a biomedical figure you can revise, then you check it before submission.
