AI Scientific Figure Generator | Figran

What

Figran is an AI scientific figure generator that turns research descriptions, sketches, and data into scientific illustrations, flowcharts, and plots. It targets biomedical researchers, laboratory researchers, students, and educators who need clearer research visuals for papers, presentations, or teaching. Its positioning is a credit-based studio for drafting and refining scientific figures, with final scientific review still required from the user.

Features

• Text-to-scientific figure: Converts a described mechanism, such as a signaling pathway, into a labeled illustration with compartments, arrows, and labels.
• Sketch-to-scientific figure: Turns a rough experiment sketch into a consistent illustration while preserving sequence and labels.
• Text-guided refinement: Lets users select a result and describe changes, creating a new version while keeping the original.
• Flowcharts and data plots: Provides editable canvas elements for flowcharts and plots, including CSV-to-plot creation, with editable shapes, labels, and connections.
• Export and model options: Supports PNG exports, SVG exports for canvas flowcharts and plots, and editable PPTX or image layers on paid plans; multiple image models are available by tier.

Helpful Tips

• Treat generated figures as drafts: The page states the tool does not validate experiments or replace scientific review, so check labels, relationships, and details against sources.
• Confirm editability expectations: AI-generated images remain raster and are not automatically split into editable shapes or text; canvas flowcharts and plots have editable elements.
• Budget by operation, not final figure: Credit cost depends on model and resolution and is shown before generation or edit; failed generations release reserved credits.
• Choose subscription versus Credit Pack by usage: Subscriptions refresh monthly credits; Credit Packs last 180 days and offer a one-time purchase option with five supported models while balance is usable.
