Seven scientific workflows · one place to start
Choose the right tool for what you already have
Start from a sentence, rough sketch, reference image, PDF, photo, or existing figure. LabFig routes each input to a focused workflow, so you spend less time translating your research into design instructions.
- Task-based recommendations
- Real input-to-output workflows
- Scientific review stays with you

Seven ways to move a scientific idea forward
Each tool begins with a different kind of evidence and leads to a different next step. Pick the workflow that matches the material you trust most.
Sketch to Figure
Use a rough drawing as the layout signal while converting it into a cleaner scientific figure direction.
- Input
- Hand sketch or wireframe
- Output
- Cleaned figure draft
- Best for
- Preserving a layout you already planned
Reference to Figure
Use a reference to guide visual language while keeping your own scientific content and review process central.
- Input
- Content and/or style reference
- Output
- Reference-guided figure
- Best for
- Consistent visual direction across a paper
PDF to Figure
Move from a source document toward a concise figure draft, with the original paper available for verification.
- Input
- Paper, report, or PDF page
- Output
- Document-grounded visual draft
- Best for
- Summarizing methods and dense source material
Photo to Figure
Translate a real-world setup or object into a cleaner schematic direction after removing sensitive details.
- Input
- Apparatus, specimen, or setup photo
- Output
- Schematic-style figure draft
- Best for
- Experimental setups and physical systems
Figure Enhancer
Improve the legibility and presentation of an existing figure without treating enhancement as recovered source data.
- Input
- Low-resolution or unclear figure
- Output
- Cleaner presentation-ready image
- Best for
- Readability, scale, and visual cleanup
Vector Canvas
Finish a figure in an editing workspace when labels, layout, color, or composition need hands-on control.
- Input
- Generated result or existing draft
- Output
- Refined figure composition
- Best for
- The final manual editing pass
Side-by-side
Which scientific figure tool should I use?
Choose by input first, then by the kind of control you need. The best tool is the one that preserves the strongest information you already have.

Start with the evidence you trust most
Use the recommendation above to open a focused workbench. Keep your scientific source material nearby and review every label, relationship, and claim before publication.
AI output is a draft. Scientific accuracy and publication compliance require human review.
