Overview
- Skip upload rejections by building figures at your journal's exact dimensions from the first render with Elsevier and MDPI ratio presets and journal-standard layouts
- Get a full graphical abstract layout in about a minute by pasting your existing abstract into the Graphical Abstract Maker with editable text labels
- Meet PRISMA 2020 and CONSORT 2010 submission requirements using the official wording and structure instead of an approximation
- Produce publication-dimension statistical plots — volcano, forest, funnel, box, Kaplan-Meier with number-at-risk table and log-rank test, heatmaps, and phylogenetic trees — without resizing after export
- Keep every figure editable for reviewer revisions with vector SVG export alongside PNG, ready for Illustrator or Inkscape
- Start immediately with no install, no template file to track between manuscript versions, and no account for most tools
- Submit clean files with no watermark or attribution mark, so you only cite the PRISMA 2020 statement itself

wrote:Yes. Paste the abstract you already wrote and the Graphical Abstract Maker drafts a full layout in about a minute, with editable labels and Elsevier or MDPI presets. Treat it as a starting layout, not a finished submission file.

wrote:Those are general canvases — they draw anything, but none of them knows what your journal requires. Figwise starts from the requirement: pick a preset and the layout is built at those dimensions from the first render. Less freedom, no wrong-size rejection at upload.

wrote:Usually not — Elsevier wants a self-contained panel with no legend baked in, Microchimica Acta forbids legends entirely, ACS allows text only for compound labels. It has to work with no caption, because that is how it appears in a table of contents.

wrote:Cite the PRISMA 2020 statement itself — Page MJ, et al. BMJ 2021;372:n71 — as the guideline you followed. You do not need to credit Figwise, and the export carries no watermark or attribution mark.
