NotyGrid: Build Multi-Panel Figures

Arrange microscopy images, plots, text and tables into multi-panel figures with labels, calibrated scale bars, spacing and controlled export size

Features

Features & Customization

Preset and flexible layouts

Use standard image grids or advanced rows that can mix images, charts, text and tables.

Panel labels and calibrated scale bars

Standardize labels while keeping physical scale-bar information tied to the correct microscopy image.

Controlled figure export

Set dimensions, DPI, gaps, padding and supported raster output options before final export.

Build one consistent figure from multiple scientific panels

NotyGrid is a multi-panel scientific figure maker for arranging related microscopy images, charts and supporting content into one controlled layout. Instead of resizing and labeling each panel separately, you can manage crops, spacing, panel labels, scale bars and final output dimensions from the same figure workspace.

Start with a preset grid or build a flexible layout

Use common arrangements such as 1×2, 2×2, 2×3, 3×3 and other fixed grids for fast image panels. Advanced layouts can use rows with different column counts or ratios and can mix image, chart, text, table and empty cells when the final scientific figure needs more than a uniform image matrix.

Adjust each image without losing the panel structure

Reposition and crop images inside their cells rather than editing separate exported copies. This makes it easier to keep related panels aligned while still choosing the field of view that matters in each source image.

Use labels and scale bars with the correct image context

Configure letter, number, Roman or custom panel labels and place them consistently inside or outside the panel. For microscopy images, scale-bar length depends on that image’s calibration; NotyGrid keeps calibration and scale-bar information with the relevant image cell so one physical scale is not incorrectly assumed for every panel.

Control final size before export

Set output width, height, DPI, padding, gaps and background, then inspect the figure as a whole. Supported export choices include common raster formats such as PNG, JPEG and WebP, with additional formats or advanced options depending on plan access.

A short workflow

  1. Import the source images or supported chart content and choose the layout that matches the scientific story.
  2. Reorder panels and adjust each crop or position without changing the source calibration.
  3. Set panel labels, scale bars, gaps, padding and any text or table cells required by the figure.
  4. Choose the final output size, inspect all labels and scale bars at that size, then export the figure.

Output you can keep

Export a consistently arranged scientific figure at the selected pixel dimensions and presentation settings. Keep the source images, calibrations and any saved grid/session data with the final figure so future revisions do not depend on reverse-engineering a flattened export.

Figure checks before submission

  • Verify every microscopy panel uses its own correct calibration before displaying a physical scale bar.
  • Cropping can remove important context, so compare each panel with its original source.
  • Increasing export dimensions cannot restore detail that is missing from a low-resolution input.
  • Some advanced cell types, layouts and export formats depend on plan access.
