PaperBanana

PaperBanana is a specialized AI-powered academic illustration generator designed to transform research material into editable scientific visuals. It integrates multiple workflows including AI illustration, image editing, SVG figure creation, poster drafting, and diagram templating into a single research-focused workspace. The platform allows users to describe a methodology, mechanism, or process in text and receive reviewable AI-generated drafts, which can then be refined using tools like Nano Banana Edit for reference-image transformation and an SVG editor for precise vector adjustments. With an emphasis on keeping scientific judgment in the loop, PaperBanana encourages users to verify terminology, relationships, and reading order against source material, ensuring that every visual is both accurate and publication-ready. The platform supports various AI models, semantic presets, and configurable output options, making it a versatile tool for researchers, educators, and science communicators who need high-quality figures, diagrams, and posters without manual drawing. By streamlining the creation and editing process, PaperBanana helps reduce the time spent on visual design while maintaining scientific integrity.
