Features

Explore and illustrate the molecular world

Intuitive

Modern chemical sketcher

Designed for touch devices and high pixel density screens, and with plenty of keyboard shortcuts for power users. Our sketcher blends ease, modern design and productivity.

Integrated

Live 3D model synchronization

The 3D viewer synchronizes with the sketching canvas automatically. Watch the molecular geometry change as you draw more atoms, and put multiple molecules next to each other.

Smart

Search names and identifiers

The search box allows you to search for names in different languages, and recognizes molecular formulas and chemical identifiers.

Beautiful

Customize styling

We picked some beautiful fonts and optimized them for MolView. Customize the font and other styles to render in the style you want.

Professional

Pixel perfect graphics

Our rendering algorithms are designed from scratch to generate beautiful vector outlines that are optimized for any display size.
