Problem solved

Researchers, students, and professionals often use AI image generators to create scientific figures, diagrams, and charts for publications and presentations. However, these outputs are typically bitmap images (e.g., PNG, WebP) with text and shapes baked into pixels, making them impossible to edit directly without specialized tools or manual re-creation. Editable Figure solves this by converting such bitmap figures into scalable vector graphics (SVG) with recognized, editable text and preserved structural elements like lines and arrows. This eliminates the time-consuming process of re-drawing or re-annotating figures, enabling users to quickly adjust labels, resize, and modify diagrams while maintaining high quality and scalability.

Use cases

• Converting AI-generated bar charts, scatter plots, and diagrams into editable SVGs for use in research papers and journal submissions.
• Preparing slide decks by transforming AI illustrations into PowerPoint-compatible vector graphics that can be ungrouped, recolored, and resized without quality loss.
• Cleaning up AI-generated figures by removing or replacing text labels, correcting typos, or adjusting font styles before publication.
• Using the Basic Canvas to add custom annotations, arrows, or callouts to complex AI-generated diagrams without needing advanced design software.
• Creating high-resolution figures for presentations and posters by scaling vector graphics to any size without pixelation, suitable for large-format printing.
• Streamlining the workflow of editing figures from multiple AI models (e.g., Gemini, GPT Image) in a unified, privacy-first web interface without installing software.

Audience

• Researchers
• Data Scientists
• Designers
• Content Creators

Pros

• Preserves structural details like text, lines, and arrows during vectorization, reducing manual cleanup.
• Free tier with essential editing features and no login required for basic use.
• Privacy-focused: claims no storage or misuse of uploaded content.
• Compatible with major vector editing tools (Illustrator, Inkscape, PowerPoint) and AI image generators.
• Simple, intuitive web interface with drag-and-drop or paste-from-clipboard upload.

Cons

• Limited to figures commonly generated by AI; may not handle extremely complex or artistic images perfectly.
• Freemium model likely restricts advanced features or higher-resolution exports to a paid plan.
• Only outputs SVG; no support for other vector formats like EPS or PDF directly.
