Explore some of our features
With Envision you can calculate and compare properties of molecules, explore reaction pathways, measure bonds and angles, edit geometries, and export images and videos
Envision is free for academic use
Our goal is to empower the chemical intuition of students and academic researchers worldwide. Envision is built by educators, for educators, and is free for academic use with support from Schmidt Futures.

Envision is powered by our unique Sierra platform, which enables interactive computation of electronic structure properties.
Share your molecules
Envision is built with collaboration in mind. Any molecule can be shared publicly with a link, or embedded on websites and teaching materials — it even works for properties. Try playing around with the molecule here, it's interactive! Or click the link below to view a public molecule.

Educators love Envision
The interface on Envision is much easier for the students to navigate than what we were using before. I am working on the lab handout and I am deleting literal PAGES of instructions about how to calculate and view MO’s in other software and replacing them with one sentence that says “Click on the orbitals tab from the lefthand menu”.
I used it in my class as part of the Course Innovation Project last semester and it is probably one of the best computational chemistry tools I have used.
