The five steps

  1. 01

    Open Floor Plan Render

    In Pixly, go to Photo AI and pick Floor Plan Render under Floor plans.

  2. 02

    Add the floor plan

    Upload it, drag it onto the page, paste it, or choose one from your library. Photograph a paper plan from straight above, with the whole plan in the frame.

  3. 03

    Pick 3D view

    Under Look, choose 3D view. The other option, Furnished plan, gives a top-down plan with furniture and room names — same layout.

  4. 04

    Click Floor Plan Render

    The button shows the price: 1 credit. It takes about a minute.

  5. 05

    Compare and save

    The 3D view opens next to your plan. Switch between them, then save it.

Plans that work best

  • Any plan you can read: a napkin sketch, a pencil drawing, a brochure page or a scan.
  • Shot from straight above, flat, with the whole plan in the frame.
  • Clear walls and door gaps — that's what the 3D view is built from.
  • Need it bigger for print? Run HD Upscale on the result.

What to avoid

  • Expecting exact measurements: written dimensions are left off the render.
  • Photos of a plan at a steep angle or half out of frame.
  • Using the render as a construction drawing — it's a picture for the listing.
