FigRay Quick Start for Scientific Figures

Before You Start

FigRay separates scientific figure creation into two stages. First, establish the scientific content and composition in the image workspace. Then vectorize the result when you need precise element editing or additional export formats.

Prepare the following when possible:

one sentence describing the scientific message;
required terms, molecules, cells, steps, or groups;
the intended use, such as a paper, review, slide, grant, or poster;
optional sketches, drafts, or JPEG, PNG, and WebP reference images.

Start Free

New accounts receive 40 credits that expire after 30 days, so you can try figure generation and basic editing before choosing a plan.

Create Your First Figure

Sign in, open the Workspace, and create a project.
Select a figure type, aspect ratio, and generation model.
Describe the subject, layout, required labels, style, and intended use.
Add reference images when helpful; one request supports up to 3 references.
Submit the request and wait for the first version to be saved.
Review scientific relationships, arrows, labels, spelling, and readability.
Use follow-up prompts, text editing, or region redraw for focused changes.
Upscale to 2K, 4K, or 8K when a higher-resolution raster is required.
Vectorize the figure when you need element-level editing in the SVG editor.
Export PNG, JPEG, SVG, or PPTX for the next stage of your workflow.

First prompt example

Create a graphical abstract about CAR-T cell therapy.
Use a three-stage left-to-right layout: engineered T cell infusion,
tumor recognition, and tumor cell killing.
Include clear labels, directional arrows, a white background,
and a flat biomedical illustration style suitable for a review article.

Choose the Right Tool

Goal	Feature	Guide
Create from an idea, sketch, or reference	Image generation	Generate scientific figures
Correct labels in an image	Text editing	Text editing and region redraw
Change one small area	Region redraw	Text editing and region redraw
Improve clarity or create a white background	Image enhancement	Upscaling and white background
Move and edit individual elements	Vectorization and SVG editor	Vectorize an image
Deliver to a paper or PowerPoint	Export	Export formats and resolution

Recommended Order

1. Verify the science

Review entities, relationships, directions, steps, and labels. A polished appearance does not guarantee scientific accuracy.

2. Make focused revisions

Fix one class of issue at a time, such as labels first and local structures second, to make results easier to review.

3. Vectorize and export last

Wait until the content is close to final before vectorizing to avoid repeated conversions and unnecessary credit use.

For generation failures, credit errors, OCR limits, or cloud save problems, see Troubleshooting.
