Graphical Abstract Compliance Checker
Upload an image, enter the target journal’s current technical requirements, and catch the dimension, format, and file-size problems that can block submission.
Free · no signup · works instantly. Runs entirely in your browser. Your graphical abstract is never uploaded.
Local image inspection
The file never leaves this browser.
Technical values
Selecting a sourced profile fills these values. Editing a value switches back to Custom.
Still designing the artifact? The researcher tools guide separates useful production aids from tools that introduce integrity risk.
Open the author instructions
Find the journal’s current pixel dimensions, allowed formats, and file-size limit.
Check the image locally
The browser reads its actual dimensions, format, aspect ratio, and size.
Resolve failed checks
Fix technical issues, then complete the manual legibility, rights, and accuracy checklist.
What this tool does not do
- • It does not maintain publisher presets because requirements can change without notice.
- • It cannot measure embedded-image DPI reliably when metadata is missing or altered.
- • It cannot judge scientific accuracy, visual hierarchy, accessibility, copyright, or editorial quality.
Frequently asked questions
Which journal presets are included?
The checker deliberately asks you to enter the current requirements from the target journal. Publisher specifications change, and a stale preset is more dangerous than an explicit requirement.
Is my graphical abstract uploaded?
No. The browser reads the image dimensions, format, and file size locally. The image is not sent to a Manusights server.
Can the checker assess scientific quality?
No. It checks technical properties and gives a manual checklist. It cannot determine whether the visual accurately represents the study, is legible at final size, or meets every editorial rule.
Need the whole manuscript checked?
Move from one submission task to a full readiness review.
Manusights reads the manuscript as a connected argument and flags the issues most likely to matter before submission.
