AI Scientific Illustration GeneratorEditable SVG Figures from Text
Turn your methodology text into editable SVG scientific illustrations. Our 5-step AI pipeline generates, segments, and assembles publication-ready vector figures for research papers, conference posters, and presentations — no design skills required.
🍌 PaperBanana Pipeline
Turn methodology text into publication-ready architecture diagrams, statistical plots, or image edits via Nano Banana Edit. · Diagram mode uses asynchronous task generation (submit task, poll status, then return final image).
More iterations usually improve quality but increase latency.

Generate Editable Scientific Figures
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.
Paste the method section, model description, or figure instructions from your paper.
Reference Image
Optional. Upload one reference image to guide structure or styling.

How to Generate Scientific Illustrations with AI
Describe Your Scientific Figure
Enter your methodology text or describe the figure you need — system architectures, biological pathways, experimental workflows, or any scientific concept.
AI Generates & Assembles with 5-Step Pipeline
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.
Download Editable SVG or High-Res PNG
Export an editable SVG for Illustrator, Inkscape, or draw.io, or download a high-resolution PNG ready for journal submission, posters, and slides.
Each step transforms the figure closer to an editable SVG
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.
