AcaDraw is an AI-powered science drawing platform that converts natural language descriptions into editable scientific diagrams, illustrations, and charts for academic and professional use.
What is AcaDraw?
AcaDraw is a web-based AI tool that turns plain English (or Chinese) text prompts into fully functional science drawings. It uses GPT-image-2 and Nano Banana AI models to generate vector-style graphics, publication-ready schematics, and technical illustrations. Users describe what they want — e.g., "free-body diagram of a block on an inclined plane" — and receive an editable image they can export as PNG, JPG, SVG, or PDF. The platform is built by an unnamed team and runs entirely in the browser with no programming knowledge required.
Key Features
- Natural language creation — Describe your drawing in words (English or Chinese); the AI interprets prompts and generates the visual.
- Multiple output formats — Export as PNG, JPG, SVG, or PDF; SVG exports are fully editable in Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer, PowerPoint, and similar tools.
- Editable diagram integrations — Generate diagrams that open directly in draw.io or Excalidraw, allowing further editing without leaving the workflow.
- Smart Convert to SVG — Upload an existing image and convert it to an editable SVG (1 credit for text conversion, 3 credits for full conversion).
- Pro model — Higher-quality generation (10 credits/image) with more expressive palettes and precise technical details, alongside the basic model (5 credits/image).
- AI image enhance — One-click image sharpening, available for 1 credit per use.
- Presets and templates — Pre-built nature and science templates accelerate common diagram types.
Who is it for?
- Researchers and academics — Generate publication-ready schematics for papers, grant proposals, and lab reports without hiring an illustrator.
- Educators — Create consistent, editable diagrams for lectures, exams, and lab manuals in seconds.
- Students — Produce figures for theses, presentations, and assignments using plain language prompts.
- Science communicators — Turn complex concepts into clear, visually appealing illustrations for articles and outreach materials.
What can you do with AcaDraw?
- Biology researcher: Generate enzyme kinetics plots (e.g., Michaelis–Menten curves with Lineweaver–Burk insets) with labeled axes and vibrant colors.
- Chemistry instructor: Create curly arrow mechanisms for electrophilic aromatic substitution with intermediate resonance structures and atomic color conventions.
- Physics lab assistant: Produce free-body diagrams for inclined planes with forces, angle labels, and color-coded arrows.
- Ecologist: Turn field data into polished stratigraphy cross-sections or map overlays that integrate with GIS exports.
How does AcaDraw work?
Describe the drawing you want in the text input box (e.g., "Draw a non-inverting op-amp amplifier with gain formula annotated"). Select the model (Basic or Pro) and aspect ratio (4:3 is default). The AI generates the image in seconds. You can then refine via conversation, convert to SVG, or export in your chosen format. The free tier gives 10 credits on registration, renewed monthly.
Pricing
Freemium with three tiers: Free ($0 USD, 10 credits/month, basic features), Plus ($149.90/year or ~$12.49/month, 600 credits/month), and Max ($279/year or ~$23.25/month, 1,800 credits/month). All credits reset monthly. Pro model generation costs 10 credits per image; basic model costs 5 credits.
FAQ
Is AcaDraw free?
Yes — the Free plan offers 10 AI credits on registration, renewed each month, enough for two basic science drawings (5 credits each). Credits also cover diagram generation (3 credits per generation, 1 credit per edit) and SVG conversion.
