What Mind the Graph is
Mind the Graph is a web-based tool for making science figures, graphical abstracts, infographics, posters, and presentations for research and education. Its editor lets users customize illustrations, text, shapes, colors, and other template elements. The service advertises more than 75,000 scientifically accurate illustrations across 80+ fields and more than 300 templates. Creations can be downloaded as PNG, TIFF, or PDF files. The free Starter plan allows unlimited creations but restricts library access and caps users at four scientific illustrations. 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 as $14/month; a Researcher bundle with three AI tools at $12 a month billed yearly; and Teams & Labs at $99 a month, shown for 10 or more simultaneous users. The pricing page states that the service is ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified. Mind the Graph became part of Cactus Communications in 2022 and is offered under CACTUS’s Editage brand.
