Enter the name of a chemical compound — the AI will generate its structural formula as a vector graphic.

How it works

Drawing chemical structures in Microsoft Word has always been painful. You either struggle with Word's primitive shapes, use expensive software like ChemDraw, or insert low-quality images from the web. This tool bypasses all of that: type the name of a compound, and the AI generates its correct structural formula as a clean, transparent PNG — ready to paste directly into your document.

  1. 1

    Type the name of a compound — common name or IUPAC (e.g. "aspirin", "caffeine", "2-hydroxybenzoic acid")

  2. 2

    Click Generate — the AI identifies the correct structure and produces a SMILES representation

  3. 3

    The structure renders as a high-quality molecular diagram with proper bond angles

  4. 4

    Download as PNG or copy the SMILES for use in other cheminformatics tools

The problem with Word

  • Word has no built-in chemical structure drawing tool — only basic shapes
  • Professional tools like ChemDraw cost hundreds of dollars per year
  • Copy-pasting structures from the web often results in poor resolution or wrong orientation

Who uses this tool

  • Chemistry lab reports and research papers
  • Pharmaceutical documentation and patent applications
  • Teaching materials for organic chemistry courses
  • Thesis chapters involving drug design or natural products
  • Presentation slides for scientific conferences

Frequently asked questions

What compounds can it generate?

Most pharmaceutical drugs, natural compounds, amino acids, and common organic molecules. The AI knows millions of chemical structures.

Can I edit the structure after pasting into Word?

The structure is a transparent PNG image. You can resize it but not edit individual bonds or atoms directly in Word.

Is the SMILES notation shown?

Yes — the SMILES string is displayed below the structure and can be copied for use in cheminformatics tools.

What does it cost?

Packs start at $2.99 — one-time payment, no subscription.

Can it generate reaction mechanisms?

Currently the tool generates single molecule structures. For reaction schemes, use our Chemical Reactions cheat sheet.
