NotyFigure: Create Scientific Figures

Build scientific diagrams with images, labels, arrows and reusable science icons, then save the editable project and export PNG or supported SVG artwork

Features

Features & Customization

Scientific object library

Build diagrams with reusable laboratory, materials and characterization artwork plus images, text and panels.

Editable connectors and layout

Use multiple arrow styles, alignment, grouping, layers and object-linked anchors to explain processes clearly.

Project and figure export

Keep an editable .notyfigure source and export the rendered composition as PNG or supported SVG content.

Build scientific diagrams without redrawing every element

NotyFigure is a scientific figure and diagram maker for composing image panels, text, arrows and reusable scientific artwork on one canvas. It is designed for schematics, methods diagrams and explanatory figures where the relationship between elements matters as much as the individual image.

Compose with scientific objects, not only generic shapes

Add image boxes, text, arrows, panels, magnifiers and scientific icons to the canvas. The built-in artwork library covers common laboratory equipment, synthesis concepts, nanomaterials, crystal structures, thin films, characterization and related scientific processes, so many diagrams can start from reusable elements instead of manual drawing.

Connect and arrange a process clearly

Arrows can be straight, curved, dotted or orthogonal, with object-linked anchors and branching when a process needs more than a simple left-to-right line. Alignment, arrangement, grouping, visibility, locking and layer order help keep complex figures editable while you refine the composition.

Keep labels and figure objects editable

Text supports styled spans, and canvas objects can be repositioned, resized, flipped or reordered without rebuilding the figure. Use grouping for related objects and layers for larger compositions so later wording or layout changes do not require starting again.

A short workflow

  1. Choose a canvas size or start from the figure structure you need.
  2. Add scientific icons, images, text and panels, then connect the steps with arrows or connectors.
  3. Align related elements, group them and review line weight and text size at the intended final size.
  4. Save the editable .notyfigure project, then export the required image or vector output.

Output you can keep

Save a .notyfigure project for future editing. Export PNG for the complete rendered composition. SVG export is also available for supported vector elements; when a figure mixes raster images or complex elements, verify the exported SVG before treating it as a fully equivalent vector master.

Figure quality checks

  • Use consistent typography, arrow styles and spacing instead of adding visual decoration that does not carry information.
  • Raster source images remain limited by their original resolution even when the overall figure is exported at a larger size.
  • Check all labels at final display or publication size.
  • Keep the editable project with the source images so figure revisions remain traceable.

Who NotyFigure is for

  • Researchers creating experimental schematics, graphical methods and explanatory figures
  • Students building thesis or presentation diagrams from reusable scientific elements
  • Teams that need an editable figure source rather than a flattened slide or screenshot
