Welcome to Plot Serializer’s documentation!

Plot Serializer is a tool for converting your scientific diagrams into (FAIR) data. It increases the transparency of scientific publications by helping you share data from your diagrams - with the option of providing custom metadata that can be as fancy as you want them to be. It’s simple and hassle-free!
