Text to Illustration

Your prompt should include the topic, visual style, background, labels, and scientific objects that must appear.

For a publication-style result, write something like:

Create a clean academic illustration showing the internal structure of a mitochondrion.
Include labels for inner membrane, outer membrane, cristae, and matrix.
Use a white background, consistent line weight, and publication-ready style.

Image to Illustration

Upload a clear source image and describe the desired transformation. The source image should show the composition you want, while the prompt explains the scientific meaning and final style.

Common uses:

  • Turn hand-drawn sketches into clean illustrations.
  • Convert screenshots into academic visuals.
  • Refine rough concept art into publication-ready figures.

Illustration Editor

Use short, specific instructions:

Change the blue background to white.
Add labels: mitochondrion, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum.
Make the arrows thinner and more consistent.
Keep the composition unchanged and make the figure more suitable for journal publication.
