What can an AI research figure generator create?

MechFig creates mechanism diagrams, pathway figures, cellular schematics, workflows, and graphical-abstract style illustrations from structured text.

Can I use generated figures in a paper?

You can export them for manuscripts and slides, but must verify accuracy, labels, journal requirements, and disclosure policies.

Do I need to write an image-generation prompt?

No. Describe the mechanism in plain language or start from a reusable example.

Is MechFig free to try?

New accounts receive free welcome credits, and the public example library is available without a subscription.

AI research figure generator

AI research figure generator for papers and presentations

Create a clear research figure from a scientific description. Turn pathways, cellular structures, molecular mechanisms, and experimental workflows into labeled diagrams for papers, posters, and presentations.

Start from a reusable research example, adapt the science, and export a PNG after reviewing accuracy.

What you can generate

Mechanism and pathway figures for biomedical and life-science research
Cellular and tissue schematics such as the blood-brain barrier
Experimental and sample-to-data workflow diagrams
Graphical-abstract layouts for manuscripts, posters, and lab decks

How it works

1Describe the input, key components, interactions, and endpoint—or open a related example.
2Choose a mechanism, pathway, cellular, omics, or methods scenario and aspect ratio.
3Generate, review labels and relationships, then export the research figure.

Research figures need structure, not decorative science art

A research figure should reveal the starting point, key relationships, and a defensible endpoint. MechFig emphasizes labeled structure and reusable scientific examples.

Use generated figures as communication drafts and check nomenclature, anatomy, claims, and publication policy before final use.
