Generate figures from reference images in FigPad

FigPad can use reference images to help you match a preferred visual style, composition language, or level of polish.

This is especially useful when you want a consistent figure series across a paper, poster, or presentation deck.

Best use cases

  • Matching the style of an earlier figure
  • Keeping a consistent visual language across multiple panels
  • Borrowing composition cues from a published example
  • Aligning color and illustration tone within a project

How to get better results

  1. Choose references that are stylistically consistent.
  2. Be explicit about what you want to preserve, such as layout, palette, labels, or rendering style.
  3. Avoid mixing too many unrelated references in one request.
  4. Use SVG export if you need final manual cleanup after generation.

Practical tip

Reference-driven generation works best when you treat the example as a style guide, not as content to copy literally.
