ExplainViz
AI scientific figure and graphical abstract maker for researchers
About ExplainViz
ExplainViz is an AI scientific figure maker built for researchers who need publication-ready diagrams without spending hours in vector software. You describe a finding, a theory, or a set of variables, and the tool drafts a structured, accurately labeled figure that you refine and export as editable SVG or high-resolution raster. It targets the specific figure types that journals and conferences expect - graphical abstracts, conceptual frameworks, theoretical frameworks, scientific illustrations and posters - rather than producing generic AI imagery that cannot survive peer review. For a researcher facing a submission deadline, that difference matters: a figure has to be correct, legible, and reusable, not merely attractive.
The tool is positioned around a researcher-first workflow. Output is journal-spec sized, watermark-free, and openable in Illustrator or any SVG editor, so the generated draft is a starting point you own rather than a locked image. Credits never expire, which fits the irregular rhythm of academic work where a project may sit idle for months between revisions. Every pack unlocks the full toolset, including the stronger CV-2 models and 4K export, so there is no feature gating hidden behind a higher tier.
Pick the figure type you need from the dedicated tools - conceptual framework, graphical abstract, scientific illustration, theoretical framework or poster. Describe your study, variables, hypotheses, or the relationships you want to show in plain language. ExplainViz drafts a structured diagram with reviewable labels rather than a flat picture. You then edit the result directly, adjust labels and layout, and export the finished figure as editable SVG for Illustrator or as a high-resolution image at journal-specification sizes. Generation costs credits (one for a standard 2K figure, more for 4K or the CV-2 Max model), with SVG export and image editing each adding a credit, and an optional auto-refill keeps a balance topped up during a deadline.
- •Figure-type generators - Separate tools for graphical abstracts, conceptual frameworks, theoretical frameworks, scientific illustrations and conference posters, each tuned to the conventions of that output rather than a one-size prompt box.
- •Editable SVG output - Every figure exports as vector SVG that opens in Illustrator or Inkscape, so labels, colors and layout stay fully adjustable after generation.
- •Accurate, reviewable labels - The diagrams are drafted with structured, checkable labels aimed at peer review, not decorative text that a reviewer would flag.
- •Journal-spec sizing and 4K - Output is produced at journal-specification sizes and up to 4K resolution, watermark-free, suitable for direct submission.
- •Credits that never expire - A one-time credit pack lasts the life of a project, with no subscription and no monthly commitment, and every pack unlocks all models and features.
- •Optional auto-refill - When a balance drops below ten credits, auto-refill can top it up with a bonus, with a monthly limit and a receipt each time, so a figure never stalls mid-deadline.
Perfect for graduate students assembling the figures for a thesis or first paper, principal investigators preparing a graphical abstract for journal submission, and research groups producing conference posters on a deadline. Academics in the life sciences, social sciences and clinical fields appreciate output that respects journal sizing and survives peer review, while labs value credits that can be shared across a project without a recurring bill. Anyone who has rebuilt a conceptual framework by hand in a drawing tool will recognize the time this removes.
