Vectorization Module

Convert generated figures into editable assets for cleanup, slides, design handoff, and export.

What This Module Does

Vectorization is for the final stretch of a figure workflow. Use it when the image already communicates the right scientific idea, but you need more control over labels, alignment, objects, or export formats.

Editable figure

Convert pixels into SVG paths, shapes, and recognizable text for more precise editing.

Text and label cleanup

Edit recognized labels, add missing text, and improve readability.

Layout refinement

Move elements, align objects, adjust spacing, and clean up composition.

Research-ready export

Export to formats commonly used for manuscripts, slides, posters, and design collaboration.

When to Use It

SituationUse Vectorization?
The figure concept is correct, but labels need cleanupYes
Objects need small movement or alignmentYes
You need SVG or editable slide assetsYes
The entire figure story is wrongNo, revise in Image Generation first
The visual style needs major regenerationNo, revise in Image Generation first

Basic Workflow

  1. Start from a generated image that is close to final.
  2. Convert it into an editable version.
  3. Clean labels, element positions, spacing, and alignment.
  4. Add simple text, lines, or shapes when needed.
  5. Save the edited version in the project.
  6. Export the format that fits your next step.

Export Choices

FormatBest for
PNGManuscripts, websites, posters, and general image use.
JPEGSmaller previews or situations where transparency is not needed.
SVGScalable figures, design handoff, and continued vector editing.
PPTXSlide workflows where editable objects are useful.

Editability is not absolute

Automatic vectorization does not understand every biological object. Complex textures, shadows, masks, and icons may become many paths. PPTX export only converts supported geometry and recognized text into editable objects where possible.

Practical Use

Use Image Generation to create the draft, then vectorize when the layout is close. Clean labels, align panels, export PNG for submission, and keep SVG as an editable source.

Vectorize when you need to move labels, simplify objects, or fit the figure into a slide layout. Export PPTX when you want to keep editing in slides.

Export SVG when a designer or illustrator needs a clean, editable version for final layout, branding, or publication preparation.

Best timing

Vectorize after the figure is mostly right. It is best for final cleanup and delivery, not for changing the whole scientific story.

Continue with the SVG Editor and Export Formats and Resolution. Each vectorization costs 30 credits and is refunded when processing fails.
