ManualFig is an AI instruction and technical illustration generator for technical writers, manufacturers, medical-device teams, and ecommerce brands. It turns product photos, CAD screenshots, step descriptions, and existing images into clean line drawings, assembly diagrams, instructional panels, callouts, arrows, and warnings. Unlike general image generators, ManualFig is purpose-built for repeatable documentation workflows and supports editable stroke-based SVG, PNG, and project exports, helping teams create consistent manuals and instructions for use without redrawing every step by hand.
ManualFig is an AI-powered illustration generator designed to produce technical figures, assembly instructions, and IFU panels from uploaded photos, CAD screenshots, or written steps.
The tool replaces manual line tracing by automatically generating step-by-step illustrations with callouts, arrows, and warnings, offering export options in PNG and stroke-based SVG.

How to Use ManualFig
The documented workflow, where available
1
Upload Reference or Procedure
Start by uploading a product photo, CAD screenshot, supplier image, sketch, existing manual page, or plain-text step list.
2
Generate Figures and Annotations
The system creates line art panels complete with numbered steps, directional arrows, callouts, and hazard or comparison indicators.
3
Refine and Export
Modify figures using text instructions, review side-by-side versions on the project canvas, and export the final output as PNG or SVG.
Instruction-Focused Illustration Generation and Export
ManualFig centers its generation process on technical documentation needs rather than decorative imagery. By accepting product photos, CAD captures, sketches, or plain-text instructions, it strips away visual distractions such as lighting reflections and background clutter while preserving core product contours and proportions.
The platform supports multi-panel technical workflows by adding standardized instructional elements like numbered sequences, directional motion arrows, zoom insets, and safety symbols. Results remain organized within a unified project workspace, allowing side-by-side version comparison and direct export to PNG or stroke-based SVG for layout integration.
Preserves physical shapes and proportions from uploaded source assets
Automates creation of callouts, direction arrows, and comparison panels
Retains editable stroke weights when exported as vector SVG
Maintains unified version tracking and side-by-side figure alignment across project revisions
