About PaperFigs
PaperFigs turns a plain-text description of your method, pipeline, or system into
a clean, publication-ready vector figure — in seconds, on your phone, for free.
Paste the paragraph you already wrote. Tap Generate. You get a real diagram you
can edit, animate, and export.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Paste or type your methodology — the same prose that goes in your paper.
2. Pick a figure type, or let PaperFigs choose one for you.
3. Get an editable vector figure, ready to drop into your manuscript.
WHAT YOU CAN MAKE
• Flowcharts — pipelines, training loops, data flows
• Architecture diagrams — systems, modules, grouped components
• Sequence diagrams — protocols, interactions, message passing
• Mind maps — taxonomies, related-work structure, concept hierarchies
• Auto mode — PaperFigs picks the type that best fits your text
BUILT FOR PAPERS, NOT SLIDES
• Publication-ready output — clean type, restrained colour, no clip-art
• Colour or monochrome — monochrome for print, colour for talks and posters
• Vector SVG export — scales to any journal's DPI requirement, never pixelates
• High-resolution PNG — for Word, Google Docs, and camera-ready PDFs
• Animated GIF — build your figure up step by step for a talk or a poster QR
EDIT ANYTHING
The generated diagram is real diagram code, not a flat image. Open the code tab
and change a label, add a node, or reroute an arrow — the preview re-renders
instantly. Nothing is baked in and nothing is locked.
FAST, AND OFFLINE WHERE IT COUNTS
The whole interface is native, and the rendering engine is bundled inside the
app. Once your diagram code comes back, every re-render, edit, animation, and
export happens entirely on your device with no network round trip. Editing stays
instant even with no signal.
NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO TRACKING
• No sign-up and no login — open the app and start
• Free to use
• No ads, no analytics SDKs, no advertising identifiers
• Your text is sent only to generate the diagram and is never stored by us
• The app asks for no runtime permissions at all
WHO IT'S FOR
Researchers, PhD and master's students, lab groups, and engineers who need a method figure for a paper, thesis, poster, grant application, or technical
design doc — and would rather spend the afternoon on the research.
