Do not spend drafter money too early
Solo inventors can validate whether a rough concept deserves filing prep before paying for a full drawing package.
Sketch-to-patent figures
FigDraft
Turn a rough invention sketch into a clean patent-style figure.
Built for inventors and patent drawing freelancers who need a credible first figure: clean linework, editable reference numbers, and export-ready drafts.
Free preview first. Pay only if the cleaned draft is worth exporting.

Instant proof
Slide from rough sketch to patent-style figure.
Show users the value before asking for payment: the messy sketch stays visible, the cleaned figure appears beside it, and the export decision comes later.
Drafting workspace
Clean the figure, then control every reference.
Inventors get a figure they can understand. Freelancers get linework, part names, and reference numbers they can correct before exporting.
Why this matters
A clean first figure can unlock the next decision.
Turn messy inputs into a usable first pass
Freelancers and patent helpers can start from cleaner linework instead of rebuilding every sketch from scratch.
Keep control of what will matter later
Reference numbers, leader lines, editable paths, and export formats matter more than a pretty picture.
Controlled output
Patent-style figures need more than a nice image.
The promise is not legal perfection. It is a faster, editable first draft that keeps geometry, labels, and exports under human control.
- AI assists the cleanup, but editable vector geometry stays inspectable.
- SVG linework can be corrected instead of accepting a flattened image.
- Reference numbers and leader lines remain under user control.
- Checks are explicit, so users know what still needs review.

For unpublished inventions
Your sketch should not become public before your patent strategy is ready.
FigDraft is being designed around private projects, controlled processing, and clear deletion. During beta, use non-confidential sketches until the secure uploader and final privacy terms are live.
Private by default
Projects and uploaded sketches should stay private to the account that owns them.
No training on your invention
User sketches should never be used to train public models or shared as examples without permission.
Delete when done
Inventors should be able to remove source sketches, generated figures, and project files when they choose.
Simple pricing
Free to preview. Pay only when the draft is worth exporting.
The pricing should match the risk: try the transformation first, then pay only for files you actually want to keep.
Market reference
Traditional patent drawing services often land around $50-$150+ per figure, depending on complexity and revision needs.
FigDraft entry point
The first export pack starts at $29 for a small sketch-to-figure validation set.
