PaperFig started from a simple observation: Learning a full design suite just to make three figures a year is not a good use of research time. It is an AI tool for drafting scientific figures. It starts from whatever you already have: a text brief, a rough sketch, a lab photo, a reference image, or a PDF. The free plan needs no card and includes 150 credits at signup, plus a free figure each day for the first week. You download PNGs (watermarked on the free plan), while TIFF/PDF export and a Faithful 4K PNG upgrade are paid options. If you are one of the researchers with no design training trying to get a figure done without learning a design suite, it is a reasonable first stop. Common uses include manuscript figures, graphical abstracts, mechanism and workflow diagrams for papers and grants, and figures for presentations and lab meetings.
