A quick-reference table for graphical abstract dimensions, resolution, color space, and file format, with links to journal-specific checks.

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.

The three layout structures behind most graphical abstracts — flow for a sequence, central-figure for a hierarchy, comparison for categories — and how to choose the one that fits your paper.
