Manual editing can improve layout, but every visible change remains the author’s responsibility. Use only controls and export formats available in the current workspace.

Four things you do on the Vector Canvas scientific figure editor that a one-shot image generator simply cannot. Click through to see each in place.
On the left, a raw AI draft mid-edit — crooked labels, off colors, a misread region. On the right, the same scientific figure after a few minutes on the Vector Canvas. Same starting generation, very different result.

AI draftCommon questions about editing scientific figures on the LabFig Vector Canvas scientific figure editor.
Start with non-sensitive source material and keep the original evidence nearby for comparison. Generation time and available editing or export controls depend on the current workspace and service status.
Where every creation path lands · No design skills required
Use Figure Finishing Guide to prepare a scientific visual draft from material you provide. Verify every label, relationship, value, permission, and target-journal requirement before publication.
AI output is a draft. Scientific accuracy requires human review.
Every LabFig creation path — Text to Figure, Sketch to Figure, Reference, PDF, Photo, and the Enhancer — converges on the Vector Canvas. This is where a fast draft becomes the scientific figure you actually wanted.
Work like a real scientific figure editor: select any object, reorder layers, snap panels to a grid, and align labels evenly on the Vector Canvas. Direct manipulation with undo and redo — no menus you need a design degree to find.
When a single panel is off, you do not start over. Select that region, prompt it, and the Vector Canvas redraws only that area — keeping the rest of your hard-won layout untouched.
