Traditional illustration tools are powerful, but they are often too slow for scientific workflows.
Figpad focuses on the needs of academic creators:
- Prompt to figure: generate scientific illustrations from natural language with the AI Figure Generator
- Image to vector: turn bitmap screenshots and rough sketches into scalable SVG with the SVG Converter
- Edit in browser: adjust paths, layers, colors, labels, and layout in the Online SVG Editor
- Export for publication: prepare assets for papers, slides, posters, and journal submission
- Academic-first design: optimized for research diagrams rather than generic marketing graphics
We maintain free resources for the scientific visualization community.
A curated collection of production-ready prompts and workflows for scientific illustration.
Includes prompts for:
