Figran is a web studio for making figures for papers, posters and teaching. A researcher describes what the figure should explain, such as a signalling pathway from ligand binding to nuclear transcription, and the tool generates an illustration with compartments, arrows and labels.
It also accepts a rough sketch of an experiment and redraws it as a consistent figure with the sequence and labels intact, builds editable flowcharts with adjustable shapes and connections, and turns a CSV file into a scientific plot. Results are refined with follow-up text instructions, and reference images can guide the style.
The generation screen shows a GPT Image 2 model option and credit costs per run. Paid plans are Pro, Plus and Pro Max, each shown with a discounted rate against a list price and billed annually.
Figran suits graduate students, lab staff and teachers who need clear diagrams for papers, slides and handouts without learning vector-drawing software. Any generated figure that goes into a publication should be checked line by line against the underlying science before use.
