Step-by-step guides and tutorials for using ChemIllusion's AI-powered chemical art tools.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these detailed walkthroughs to learn how to use ChemIllusion's features. Each tutorial provides step-by-step guidance with clear explanations.
Help Hub on the generator
The floating Help Hub on /generator tracks drawing lessons, reopens tool tips, and adapts the lesson list to your selected skill level. Brand new drawers will see core drawing lessons first, while more experienced users will see ChemIllusion features higher in the hub.
You can change that lesson mix anytime from Guidance & Learning on your account page.
Edit molecules on the generator with natural-language requests—structure changes, previews, Ketcher loading, and visual highlighting.
Learn how to wrap a molecule structure onto another object using the Wrap tool. No prompts or SMILES needed—everything runs through molecule tools and the Wrap modal.
Create a transparent surface area plot of a protein, add its ligand molecule, customize colors, and export as a Word document.
Create a scene using existing and custom clipart objects, then convert the composition into a photorealistic image using Nano Banana.
Create a comprehensive worksheet with text boxes, graphs, arrows, and ACS 1996 style molecules for teaching nucleophilic substitution reactions.
Learn how to navigate projects, manage your gallery, remix an existing molecule image (adrenaline) with style changes, use image analysis to repair structural errors, and share to social media.
Create an OpenRouter account, generate an API key, and configure it in ChemIllusion to use free tier LLMs for lab report analysis.
