This free chloroplast cutaway illustration presents the internal organisation of a plant chloroplast, including stylised grana, thylakoid stacks, connecting lamellae and the surrounding envelope.

Put it to work

Use the illustration as a starting point for a plant biology presentation, a teaching slide or one panel of a graphical abstract. For example, place the chloroplast beside your experimental result, then add separate arrows and text to explain how the two relate.

1. Insert the PNG into PowerPoint, Keynote or your design application.
2. Resize from a corner to keep the original proportions, and leave room around the illustration for annotations.
3. Add labels and arrows as separate editable objects, using terminology that matches your research.

Background and editing

The downloaded PNG has a transparent background and no preview watermark. Check its appearance on your chosen background before exporting the finished figure.

This is a single raster image, so the internal structures are not individually editable. It is 1536 × 1024 pixels: choose a final display or print size that keeps the image sharp, and avoid enlarging it beyond its native resolution.

This asset is a visual communication illustration rather than a quantitatively labelled structural diagram. Add terminology and annotations that match the scientific context of your project.
