Photo to Scientific Figure
Upload a photo of an experiment, device, sample, or setup. PaperFig helps you turn the visible structure into a clearer scientific figure draft before you refine it for your paper or presentation.
Upload a lab or experiment photo
Use a clear JPG, PNG, or WebP image. A short description helps PaperFig understand the scientific story behind the photo.
The file is saved locally in this browser and passed to the workspace through a temporary draft. Sign in is required before generation.
These examples show the kinds of scientific stories a photo can help you explain. Always check the draft against your real setup and data.
01
Choose a clear image that shows the device, sample, setup, or physical relationship you want to explain.
02
Mention the mechanism, components, direction of flow, or intended audience so the draft follows your research context.
03
Continue to /create, confirm the uploaded source, and refine the generated draft before using it in a paper or presentation.
Start with a real-world image when the physical setup or sample is central to the scientific story.
Turn a device or experiment photo into a compact overview that gives viewers a clear starting point.
Explain visible components, material layers, or experimental relationships alongside the written methods.
Use a draft to discuss what a setup shows, which parts need labels, and what the team should verify.
Organize equipment, sample handling, and process flow when a photograph contains the key physical context.
The photo remains the visual anchor while your prompt supplies the scientific meaning and reading order.
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP image of a lab setup, device, sample, or prototype.
Point out the components, layers, connections, or physical relationships that the draft should make clearer.
Add the mechanism, flow direction, or audience so the image is interpreted within your research context.
Use the first figure as a discussion and editing starting point, then check every claim against your records.
Use one main subject, avoid heavy glare, and describe what the viewer should learn from the image. If the photo contains several experiments, explain which parts belong in the final figure and what order readers should follow.
PaperFig can organize visible structures and your description, but it cannot verify measurements, infer missing experimental evidence, or replace a researcher’s interpretation. Check labels, direction arrows, scale, and claims against the original work.
Clear photos of lab setups, devices, samples, prototypes, and experimental components work best. A short prompt explaining the mechanism makes the result more useful.
No. The draft is a visual starting point. Verify small labels, measurements, hidden structures, and any scientific claim against your original records.
You can prepare the source on this public page. PaperFig saves it as a temporary browser draft and asks you to sign in before generation continues in the workspace.
Treat the first result as a draft. Review scientific accuracy, labels, permissions, and journal requirements before using or exporting it for publication.
Upload it to create an AI scientific figure draft, then review the structure and labels in the PaperFig workspace.
