Describe a scientific structure, mechanism, or method to create an editable SVG illustration. Refine the labels and layout for your paper, poster, or presentation without starting from a blank canvas.
Turn method text into a publication-ready SVG figure. Preview the PNG, download the assets, then open the editor only when you need to refine it. Generating one SVG scientific illustration typically takes about 5-10 minutes.
Paste the method section, model description, or figure instructions from your paper.
Reference Image
Reference image guidance is a paid feature. Upgrade to use one image for tighter layout and style control.

Describe any academic illustration in plain language and get a professional figure in about 2 minutes
Supports diagram, flowchart, architecture, concept map, schematic, and more figure types
High-resolution output suitable for journal papers, conference posters, and thesis documents
Whether you're a PhD student, postdoc, or professor, Paper Banana helps you create professional scientific figures without any design tools or skills.
Just describe what you need in plain text. No design software, no templates to learn.
Upload a reference figure from any paper to guide the visual style. No preset library needed.
Publication-ready SVG where every element is editable. Infinitely scalable — no pixel limits.
Plans from $19/month. Designed for researchers and students who need professional figures without expensive design tools.
Every figure goes through Generator → Segmenter → Extractor → Assembler → Optimizer — ensuring structured, editable SVG output.

Enter your methodology text or describe the figure you need — system architectures, biological pathways, experimental workflows, or any scientific concept.
Our 5-step pipeline generates a raster draft, segments icon regions with SAM3, extracts and cleans elements, builds an SVG template, and optimizes the final vector figure.
Export an editable SVG for Illustrator, Inkscape, or draw.io, or download a high-resolution PNG ready for journal submission, posters, and slides.
Instead of returning one raw image, Paper Banana runs a multi-step pipeline that generates a draft, detects visual elements, extracts clean icons, builds a structured SVG template, and assembles the final editable vector.
Calls a text-to-image LLM to render a journal-style schematic from your methodology text.
Uses SAM3 to detect and segment distinct icons, text regions, and diagram components.
Crops each detected region and removes backgrounds with RMBG-2.0 for transparent icon assets.
A multimodal LLM generates a structured SVG template with labeled placeholders aligned to the figure.
Validates SVG syntax, optimizes layout alignment, and replaces placeholders with clean icons to produce the final editable SVG.
Built for research papers, conference posters, and presentations where vector output matters.
Create biology figures that explain pathways, cell interactions, protein workflows, and experimental schematics without redrawing everything by hand.
AI-generated biology illustration showing neuroscience pathways and experimental workflow for a research paper
Paper Banana is built for the figure types researchers actually search for, from AI biology illustration to AI engineering diagram workflows.
