Beautiful plasmid maps,
right in your browser

Design, annotate, and export publication-ready circular and linear plasmid maps. No signup, no install, no data leaves your machine.

Everything you need

A full-featured plasmid editor that runs entirely in your browser

Circular & Linear Views

Toggle between circular and linear map layouts. Both views are interactive and exportable.

Multi-Track Rings

Organize features across inner and outer rings with independent styling for each track.

GenBank, FASTA & SnapGene

Import from GenBank, FASTA, or SnapGene .dna files. Fetch directly from NCBI or AddGene by accession.

SVG, PNG & PDF Export

Export publication-quality maps in vector or raster formats at any resolution.

GC Content Track

Visualize GC content as a sliding-window plot inside the backbone ring.

Inline Editing

Click any feature to edit its name, color, position, label style, and border in place.

Share via URL

Generate a compressed shareable link that encodes your entire plasmid map.

Restriction Enzyme Analysis

Find cut sites from a built-in enzyme database. Visualize overhangs and filter by cut count.

Works Offline

Install as a PWA and use without an internet connection. All data stays in your browser.

How it works

Three steps from sequence to publication-ready figure

1

Import or create

Paste a sequence, import a GenBank/SnapGene file, fetch from NCBI/AddGene, or start from scratch.

2

Annotate & style

Add features, markers, and labels. Customize colors, rings, tick marks, and themes.

3

Export & share

Download as SVG, PNG, or PDF. Share via URL or export as GenBank for other tools.
