Scientific Diagram Maker

Generate paper-ready scientific mechanism diagrams, workflows, and pathway figures from natural language

Scientific Diagram Maker is the core tool for structured academic diagrams, including mechanism figures, workflows, pathways, experimental schematics, and paper illustrations.

Best uses

Use this tool when you need a figure that explains a scientific process rather than a decorative image. It is designed for labeled, structured academic visuals used in papers, preprints, slides, posters, grant applications, and related work.

Common uses:

  • Cell signaling pathways
  • Experimental workflows
  • Disease mechanism diagrams
  • Nanoparticle delivery schematics
  • Omics analysis pipelines
  • Graphical Abstract

Generate a diagram

  1. Open Scientific Diagram Maker from the homepage or navigation.
  2. Describe what you want to draw, including structure, labels, and style.
  3. Optionally change the model or resolution.
  4. Check the credit cost shown on the button.
  5. Click Generate Diagram and wait about 30 to 60 seconds.

Prompt writing

Describe the figure structure specifically instead of only asking for a broad topic.

Weak example:

Draw a cancer immunotherapy figure.

Better example:

Create a three-panel mechanism diagram of CAR-T cell therapy:
Panel 1: T cell extraction from patient blood.
Panel 2: CAR gene insertion and cell expansion.
Panel 3: Reinfusion and tumor targeting.
Connect panels with arrows and label key components: T cell, CAR receptor, tumor cell.
Style: clean vector diagram, white background, publication-ready quality.

A strong prompt usually includes:

  • Scientific topic and scope
  • Number of panels or layout structure
  • Required labels
  • Arrow directions and workflow
  • Visual style, such as minimal, schematic, or publication-ready
  • Exclusions, such as no 3D effects or no cartoon style

Credit cost

The button shows the actual cost before submission. The default model starts from 8 credits; higher resolution or advanced models may cost more.

Credits may be reserved when you submit a task. If a task fails in a recoverable way, the system will try to release the reserved credits.

Edit a diagram

After generation, click Open in Workspace to refine the result:

  • Fix typos or rename labels.
  • Move elements to improve layout.
  • Change colors to match a paper style.
  • Use AI edit for larger changes at 5 credits per edit.

Recommended workflow: generate first, then refine. This is more reliable than trying to get a perfect result from one prompt.
