Frequently Asked Questions
You can draw chemical structures in several ways: 1) Use the drawing tools in the toolbar to manually create structures, 2) Upload an image of a chemical structure and use our recognition feature, 3) Paste an image from your clipboard. The editor supports various drawing tools for atoms, bonds, and common chemical groups.
Our structure editor supports multiple export formats including SMILES, MOL file, InChI, and image formats (PNG). You can select your preferred format from the export options menu. Each format has its specific use cases: SMILES for text representation, MOL for 3D coordinates, InChI for unique identifiers, and images for presentations or publications.
Our structure recognition feature uses advanced AI algorithms to convert chemical structure images into editable molecular structures. While it works well with clear, well-drawn structures, the accuracy may vary depending on image quality, drawing style, and complexity of the structure. We recommend reviewing and adjusting the recognized structure if needed.
Yes, our structure editor supports both 2D and 3D molecular structures. You can import 3D structures, view them in 3D, and make modifications. The editor maintains 3D coordinates when available and allows you to optimize the structure's geometry. For 3D visualization, you can rotate, zoom, and pan the structure to view it from different angles.
You can save your structures in multiple ways: 1) Export to various file formats (SMILES, MOL, InChI, or image), 2) Download the structure file directly to your computer, 3) Copy the structure data to your clipboard. For sharing, you can use the exported files or generate a shareable link. All structures are processed locally in your browser for privacy and security.
Each format serves a specific purpose: SMILES is a compact text representation ideal for database storage and quick structure input. MOL files contain detailed 2D/3D coordinates and are widely used in cheminformatics. InChI provides a unique identifier for chemical structures, useful for structure searching and database indexing. Our editor supports converting between these formats seamlessly.
Our chemical structure editor makes format conversion easy. Simply draw or import your structure, then use the export menu to convert it to your desired format (SMILES, MOL, InChI, or image). The conversion happens instantly, and you can download the result or copy it to your clipboard. This is particularly useful when you need to use the structure in different software or databases.
