If you have questions about custom icons, please reach out to us at [email protected] or via the chat bubble in the bottom right corner of the interface.

3. Decide whether you’d like to try a Free trial or Start a plan now.
Note: the publication license and custom icon requests are not included in the free trial, so if you need either feature, we recommend you choose the Start plan now.


4. Select your billing cycle (monthly or annual) and click Continue to payment.

  • Billed Annually: A single payment for BioRender Premium for an entire year from the date of purchase. Subscription will renew each year unless cancelled prior to renewal.

  • Billed Monthly: A payment each month for BioRender Premium from the date of purchase, will renew each month unless cancelled prior to renewal.

5. Enter your billing information and review your payment information. Click Start free trial or pay now (depending on which option you chose).

​​If you enlarge your window size to make it full screen, the right side of the screen should expand and show you the submit option.

6. You’ll see a confirmation screen letting you know you’ve successfully upgraded. You can start using premium features right away!
