How it works

A sketch or a photo in.Concepts to discuss.

The design studio works from an image file. Choose how much should change, from a light touch to a bolder take.

  1. 1

    Upload a sketch or photo

    A hand sketch, a view exported from your CAD or 3D model, or a photo of the site or the space.

  2. 2

    Pick the space and a style

    Interior, exterior or commercial, the room type and one of 27 styles. Then set how much should change.

  3. 3

    Compare and present

    Put each concept next to your source, keep the ones worth discussing, then share a link or download them.

Before you present

Concepts, not drawings.You stay the architect.

  • Upload image files. Export a view from CAD or your 3D model first.
  • Ask for less change to stay close to your source, or more to explore.
  • Every result opens next to the image it came from.
  • Share a link to a render, or download the ones you want to present.

My clients love the visualizations. Being able to show clients multiple design directions before committing has made my job so much easier. The AI understands design principles better than some humans!

Questions

Architects.Straight answers.

Something else? Visit help or talk to us.

Can I start from a sketch?

Yes. Choose sketch to render in the design studio and upload your sketch or a photo of the space. The results are AI-generated concepts, so treat them as a starting point for discussion, not as construction documents.

What files can I upload?

Image files. To work from a CAD drawing or a 3D model, export a view as an image first, then upload that image.

Does it work for exteriors and commercial projects?

Yes. The studio has interior, exterior and commercial settings. Exterior covers facades, balconies, patios, gardens, pool areas and outdoor BBQ areas. Commercial covers spaces such as offices, restaurants, retail stores, hotel lobbies and showrooms.

Will the result keep my design exactly as drawn?

Not always. AI results can change details. Ask for less change to stay closer to your source image, and compare each result with the original before you share it.

Are my renders private?

Subscribers can keep renders private, and new renders start private for them. Renders made on free accounts are public.

How much does it cost?

New accounts get 3 free credits. Most photo edits and redesigns use 1 credit each. After that, plans start at $59 a month for 100 credits.
