Visual abstract and graphical abstract overlap, but they are not guaranteed to be the same deliverable. Follow the exact journal definition.
Use illustrative Abfig drafts and official journal examples to study layout, hierarchy, labels, and visual flow.
Plan, generate, refine, and export a graphical abstract while checking the current instructions for your target journal.
See a real sketch-to-image workflow, including full-image refinement and brush-mask local redraws.
Compare three useful layout structures—flow, central figure, and comparison—and choose one that matches the scientific story.
Nature Portfolio has no single graphical-abstract rule. Compare Nature Communications and Nature Chemical Biology, then check the exact title.
