Frequently asked questions
Yes, BioRender's institutional license (the Institution plan) covers researchers, students, and staff across an entire university, department, or research institute. It includes sitewide logins or SSO, centralized management across multiple labs and teams, usage reporting, dedicated design and account support, onboarding seminars, and more. Talk to us about an institutional license →
Many institutional licenses start with researchers asking their library, research office, or department to bring BioRender in. Tell us who to talk to and we'll handle the rest, including building the funding and publication-impact case your institution needs to approve it. Talk to us about an institutional license →
Yes, BioRender institutional licenses include shared team libraries, collaborative editing, and the ability to share templates across lab members and departments. Every scientist on your account gets access to your shared content.
Institutional licenses are custom-priced based on the number of seats and the scope of your agreement. Contact us for an institutional quote →
Institutional licenses are designed for groups of 20 or more users. Smaller groups are usually better served by an Academic Lab plan, which covers a single PI and their team. If you're not sure which fits, we'll help you figure it out. Talk to us about an institutional license →
BioRender maintains a completed HECVAT, a VPAT for accessibility conformance, and SOC 2 compliance. Documentation is available in our Trust Center for your IT, procurement, and accessibility teams.
Yes, institutional licenses include usage data and metrics, so universities, research offices, and libraries can track adoption across departments and demonstrate value at renewal.
Yes. Any figure created in BioRender can include a publication license covering publication rights for journals, articles, promotional materials, textbooks, and more. You must be on a paid BioRender Premium plan (not the free trial) to receive a publication license with your exported figure.
Yes. BioRender figures include a commercial license covering grant submissions to NIH, NSF, DOE, and other funding bodies. Figures created in BioRender may also be used in patents and regulatory submissions.
BioRender is built for scientific communication. Unlike PowerPoint and Adobe Illustrator, BioRender includes 50,000+ peer-reviewed life science icons and templates, for everything from pathways and receptors, to cell types and drug mechanisms. Figures can be exported in publication-ready formats with easy access to publication licenses.
BioRender includes a graphing tool that lets you import CSV or Excel data and create publication-quality bar charts, scatter plots, and line graphs. Graphs and illustrations can be combined in a single figure export or slide.
All BioRender icons are reviewed by certified scientific illustrators with scientific backgrounds and fact-checked against peer-reviewed literature. BioRender's scientific advisory board includes researchers from leading institutions. If you find an inaccuracy, BioRender has a correction request process.
