From lab photo
to publishable figure.

Snap a photo. SciFig photo to figure gives you a publication-ready illustrated asset.

• From Real Life to Vector: Photograph your lab rig, sample, gel, plant, animal, or microscope view. SciFig converts it into a clean, editable illustrated asset in minutes.
• No Design Skills: You don't need Illustrator's pen tool or a drawing tablet. Point, shoot, upload — SciFig does the illustration.
• Publication-Style, Not a Photo: Output is a consistent, journal-grade vector illustration — not a raw photo with clutter and lighting issues.

Yes. Build your own lab asset library in an afternoon.

• Niche Equipment Covered: Mass spec, bioreactor, custom rig, field sampler, or any lab-specific instrument BioRender doesn't carry. Photograph it once, use it forever.
• Reusable Across Papers: Each generated asset is a reusable vector file. Drop the same illustrated mass spec into every future methods figure.
• Lab-Specific Branding: Build a coherent set of assets unique to your lab — your figures stop looking generic.

Yes. From petri dish to field site, SciFig photo to figure covers it.

• Biological Subjects: Tissues, organoids, plates, bacterial colonies, plants, insects, animals, field sites — all convert into clean illustrated vectors.
• Preserves Distinct Morphology: Unlike generic AI art, Photo-to-Figure keeps species-specific features that matter — streptococci show up as chains, not single cells.
• Ready for Methods Figures: Illustrated samples look consistent across panels — no more mixing iPhone photos with stock illustrations.

Yes. Use WhiteBG to normalize a safely detected, edge-connected background to pure white.

• Content-Preserving: Labels, arrows, instruments, and other figure content remain in place. WhiteBG does not erase text or isolate a subject.
• Fail-Closed: If the background cannot be distinguished safely, the original stays unchanged and no credits are used.
• Need Selective Editing? Use Edit Text or Edit in Canvas for labels, objects, or manual selection.

Raw photos look amateur in a paper. Scientific figure illustrations from SciFig photo to figure don't.

• No Lighting Clashes: Photos have inconsistent exposure, shadows, and clutter. Illustrated assets share one visual language across every panel.
• No Copyright Ambiguity: Stock-photo-looking figures get reviewer scrutiny. Illustrated assets are unambiguously yours.
• Fully Editable on Demand: Photos are locked pixels. Illustrated assets can be fully edited — recolor, resize, relabel without quality loss.

Yes, at every level — shape, color, label, size.

• Separable Parts: Each component of the asset is its own vector object. Edit the microscope eyepiece without touching the base.
• Recolor for Journal Consistency: Match your target journal's preset or your lab's own palette in one click across every asset.
• Zero Quality Loss: Scale from 1" thumbnail to A0 poster — vectors stay sharp at every size.

Every format your photo-to-figure asset needs for paper, deck, or poster.

• Direct Exports: PNG (recommended for journal submission), JPG (smaller files for sharing or email), and PPTX (a 16:9 PowerPoint slide with the asset embedded — drop straight into a deck).
• Vectorize for Layered Editing: Open the result in Vector Canvas and run Vectorize. One pass produces clean SVG (opens in Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma, or Affinity) plus an editable-shape PPTX where every element is a separately selectable PowerPoint object.
• Resolution: PNG/JPG up to 8K — clears 300 DPI at standard journal column widths.

Yes. Your lab photos, samples, and equipment stay confidential.

• Never Training Data: Photographs of your rig, samples, or whiteboards are used only to generate your asset — never fed back into any model.
• Remove Sensitive Content First: Crop or redact faces, identifiers, and sensitive screen text on your device before uploading. WhiteBG changes a detected background to white; it is not a privacy-redaction or subject-isolation tool.
• Yours to Delete: Delete an uploaded photo at any time and the stored file is removed from our storage, not just hidden from your view.
