Refine a diagram for a conference poster.
Generate multiple layout options quickly.
Produce high-resolution figures for publication.
FAQ
Paper Banana is an AI-powered generator specifically designed to create research figures, scientific diagrams, and method visuals from paper text and descriptions, streamlining academic communication.
Users input paper text or figure captions. The AI analyzes the content to plan a figure structure, generates multiple candidate diagrams, and allows for iterative refinement using reference images before export.
Paper Banana offers a free trial with limited credits. Sustained usage requires a paid subscription plan (Hobby, Basic, Pro) based on credit consumption.
It can generate method figures, scientific explanatory diagrams, system flowcharts, training pipelines, and other visuals common in research papers and posters.
It is specialized for academic workflows, offering reference-guided planning, iterative refinement for drafts, and output optimization for publication, unlike generic image generators.
Plans include Hobby ($13.5/month), Basic ($22.5/month), and Pro ($45/month), billed yearly. They offer varying credit amounts and features like resolution options and priority support.
Yes, the Basic and Pro plans allow users to upload reference images and even entire papers for automatic style retrieval to guide the generation process.
Outputs can be downloaded in common image formats. Resolutions include 1K (Hobby), 1K/2K (Basic), and 1K/2K/4K (Pro), with credit costs scaling accordingly.
Yes, the workflow is supported by public materials, including code on GitHub and a research paper on arXiv, providing transparency about its technical foundation.
It is designed for graduate students, academic researchers, professors, scientific illustrators, and R&D engineers who regularly need to create figures for publications and presentations.
