The five steps

Open Floor Plan Creator
Go to pixly.app/tools/floor-plan-creator and click Start from scratch. It runs in the browser — nothing to install.

Add the first room
Click Quick rectangle, choose the Room type (for example Living room), type the width and depth in metres or feet, and click Add room.
- 03
Add the next rooms
Do the same for each room. A new room is placed against the last one, so the walls meet — drag it into place if your layout differs.

Add doors and windows
Pick Door or Window and click the wall where it goes. Drag it along the wall to move it.

Tips for an accurate plan
- Measure each room wall to wall before you start — a tape or a laser measure is enough.
- Start with the largest room, then add the rooms around it.
- Have an iPhone? Scan with iPhone in the Pixly app measures the rooms for you.
- Already have a sketch? From a photo of a plan turns a photo of it into an editable plan.
What to avoid
- Guessing sizes — a plan with wrong areas misleads buyers.
- Forgetting wall thickness: rooms are measured inside the walls.
- Using it as a building drawing — it's a plan for listings and planning.
