Questions

Is this a replacement for ChemDraw?

Not for exact chemical structure drawing. It is great for schematics, reaction overviews, apparatus and graphical abstracts. SciFigures is independent and not affiliated with ChemDraw.

Is it free?

Yes, you get free figures every month without a card. Paid plans give more figures, no watermark, and PNG + TIFF + PDF + editable SVG + the Python code.

Can I use the figures in a journal paper or thesis?

Yes. You own the figures you make. Figures are made with AI assistance, so check them carefully and follow your journal's policy on disclosing AI-assisted figure preparation.

Do you store my images or data?

No. Uploads and figures are deleted from our server within an hour. Download what you need.
