Overview
Instant figure requirements for top journals, plus a drag-and-drop compliance check: DPI at column width, format, color, size.
Every journal has its own figure rules — column widths, minimum DPI, accepted formats, color modes, graphical-abstract dimensions. They're scattered across author-guideline pages, and getting one wrong means revision requests or a desk-rejected submission. Journal Figure Checker puts those rules in your toolbar: ✔ AUTO-DETECTS THE JOURNAL — open the popup on a journal page, article, or Editorial Manager / ScholarOne portal and it recognizes the journal from the page's citation metadata, DOI, or domain, then shows the official figure requirements. Or pick a journal from the dropdown. ✔ CHECKS YOUR FIGURE LOCALLY — drop in a figure file and it reads the file's own bytes right in the popup: • Effective resolution at each of the journal's column widths — not just the embedded DPI tag, but whether the pixels are actually enough at print size • Accepted file formats • RGB vs CMYK color mode • File size limits • Graphical abstract / TOC graphic dimensions and aspect ratio ✔ TELLS YOU HOW TO FIX IT — every failed check explains exactly what the journal wants and links to a tool that can fix it. COVERED: Nature, Nature Communications, Scientific Reports, Science, PNAS, JAMA, PLOS ONE, Cell Press journals — plus publisher-wide guidelines for Nature Portfolio, Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, MDPI, Frontiers, ACS, and IEEE. Every number is taken from the publisher's official author guidelines, with a link to the source shown alongside. PRIVATE BY DESIGN: your figures never leave your computer. Files are parsed entirely inside the popup — there is no upload, no server, no account. The extension requests no access to your browsing except the single page you're on, and only when you open the popup. Made by scientificfigure.com. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any journal or publisher; requirements are curated from their public author guidelines and re-verified periodically (the popup shows the verification date)
