PaperFig started from a simple observation: Teaching diagrams get copied from old slides because making new ones takes too long. It is a research figure maker that runs on AI. The focus is research figures such as mechanisms, workflows and graphical abstracts. It accepts text-to-figure, sketch-to-figure, photo-to-figure and reference-to-figure inputs, plus PDFs. Disciplines in the gallery include biomedical, materials, energy, environmental, bioengineering, CS/AI and geoscience. If you are one of the lecturers and TAs preparing diagrams for lectures and lab handouts, it is a reasonable first stop. It is mostly used for manuscript figures and graphical abstracts, with grant diagrams and lab-meeting slides close behind. You can try it on the free plan: 150 signup credits and 1 free figure a day for your first week, no card required. Results are starting drafts, so check every detail before using one in a paper.
