Mind the Graph
Mind the Graph is a web tool for creating scientific figures, graphical abstracts, infographics, posters and presentations for research and education. Its editor lets users customize illustrations, text, shapes, colors and template elements. The site advertises more than 75,000 scientifically accurate illustrations spanning over 80 fields, along with more than 300 templates. Creations can be downloaded as PNG, TIFF or PDF files. The free Starter plan allows unlimited creations but limits users to four scientific illustrations and restricts library access. Free users must keep the Mind the Graph watermark and cite the platform in formal communications, publications, lectures and presentations. Paid options include Researcher at $9 a month billed yearly, with a monthly option shown at $14/month; Researcher with three AI tools at $12 a month billed yearly; and Teams & Labs at $99 a month for 10 or more simultaneous users. Mind the Graph became part of Cactus Communications in 2022 and is offered under CACTUS’s Editage brand.
