    What is paperbanana?
    Paper Banana is a web-based AI application that converts methodology descriptions, system architectures, and research concepts into professional academic illustrations. Users enter a text prompt or upload an image, choose a style (diagram, plot, schematic, etc.), and the platform’s multi-stage pipeline (Retriever → Planner → Stylist → Visualizer → Critic) generates a high-resolution figure ready for download. It also offers image-to-illustration editing, iterative refinement, and export options tailored for journals, conference posters, and presentations. Plans start from $19/month and outputs can reach up to 2048px resolution.
