Frequently asked questions
What can I make here?
Pathway and mechanism figures, experimental workflows, graphical abstracts, model architectures and teaching diagrams.
Can I start from a sketch or a reference image?
Yes. Add an image with the picture button; FigEditor keeps its structure and redraws it with your content.
Can I publish the result directly?
Treat it as an editable draft. Check scientific accuracy, labels and your journal’s rules on AI-assisted figures before submitting.
Can I keep editing after generation?
Yes. Open the project to edit regions or text, regenerate, or convert the figure to SVG in the SVG converter.
How much does it cost?
Each new figure uses 2 credits; failed generations are refunded. New accounts get 10 free credits.
