LabFig

LabFig is an AI-powered scientific figure generator built for researchers and grad students who need publication-quality figures but dread spending a whole day wrestling with Illustrator or Figma. It turns the messy middle of figure-making into a quick, guided workflow.

Start from anything you already have — a text description, a hand-drawn sketch, a reference figure, a research PDF, or even a photo of your whiteboard. LabFig understands all of these inputs and converges on one clean, journal-grade figure, with the right panels, labels, and arrows already in place, generated in seconds.

Multi-input modes cover every starting point: Text-to-Figure, Sketch-to-Figure, Reference-to-Figure, PDF-to-Figure, and Photo-to-Figure. Whichever you choose, the result follows the same goal — a polished figure ready for your paper.

Unlike one-shot AI tools that lock you into their first draft, LabFig's output stays fully editable. Every text, arrow, shape, and color can be changed after generation. Relabel, recolor, or select a region and regenerate just that part with a single prompt — no tedious roundtrip back to Illustrator or Figma.

Publication styles let you match the visual standard of Nature, Cell, or IEEE in one click. Choose from Scientific, Line, 3D, Editorial, Sketch, or Watercolor — or let Auto follow your prompt and keep every figure in your paper visually consistent.

With sketch-to-figure, snap a photo of your notebook or whiteboard and LabFig redraws it as a journal-grade figure — fixing geometry, replacing handwriting with clean typography, and aligning every block, arrow, and label.

A vector canvas lets you fine-tune labels and arrows with precision, then export to SVG or PDF that drops straight into your submission template. Pick a mode, describe the figure, and get a publication-ready draft in seconds — built for researchers, no design skills needed.
