- How it works
How AI room redesign works, honestly.
One photo in, a redesigned direction out — but the useful part is knowing what the tool is actually doing at each step, what a good input looks like, and where the line is between "visual direction" and "construction plan." This page covers all of it before you spend a single credit.
What makes a good input photo
The redesign is only as good as the photo it starts from. You do not need a professional camera or a staged room — most usable photos are just a phone snapshot taken while standing in the doorway.
- Natural light works best. Daytime shots with a window in frame give the model the clearest read on the room's actual proportions and materials.
- Any phone photo is fine. JPG, PNG, or WEBP up to 10MB — no editing, cropping, or staging required first.
- Get as much of the room in frame as you can. A photo that only shows one corner gives the tool less to work with than a wider shot from the doorway.
- Avoid very dark, badly blurred, or heavily blocked photos. See "Photos that don't work well" below for specifics and what happens if you upload one anyway.
None of this is enforced by a hard upload gate today — the tool will accept whatever image you give it. Following these guidelines is about getting a result worth looking at, not clearing a checkpoint.
Three steps, in detail
Upload your room
Drop in one photo, any angle. You'll sign in first — every step here runs through your account, though uploading and the free photo analysis never spend a credit. Your 3 free credits are waiting, and the photo is saved to a draft so refreshing the page does not lose it.
Choose a direction
Pick one of the suggested directions, or continue with the default recommendation. The first direction step has no free-text field; after you have a result, use Change one thing to request a focused adjustment.
Compare and decide
Once generation finishes, your original photo and the redesigned direction sit side by side so you can compare them directly. If one direction is close but not quite right, you can try another style or refine a specific area instead of starting the whole project over.
What this can — and can't — tell you
Visual directions, not construction plans. Measure twice before you buy anything. That line applies to every result this tool produces, so here is the specific breakdown.
- Show a style direction — warm minimal, Scandinavian, moody, and more — applied to your actual room.
- Suggest a soft-furnishing palette: wall color, textiles, and material tones that fit that direction.
- Let you compare two or three directions side by side before you commit to one.
- Guarantee a specific piece of furniture will physically fit your space — no measurements are taken.
- Produce construction, floor plan, or renovation drawings a contractor can build from.
- Guarantee a budget or a real-world price for anything shown in a result.
How long it actually takes
Budget about one to two minutes per direction. Preview quality tends to finish toward the faster end of that range; HD takes longer because it is doing more work per image. Actual time varies with server load, so treat the range as realistic rather than exact.
If a generation runs long, you will see a status update rather than a spinner that just sits there, and you are free to leave the page — the job keeps running on our end and you can come back to check on it.
Photos that don't work well
The free photo check declines a very dark, badly blurred, or non-room image before any paid generation. Other problems can still pass that check and weaken the result, so they are worth catching yourself:
- Ultra-wide or fisheye lens curve — the tool warns you, but lets you continue; the model may turn the curve into architecture that is not really there.
- A large part of the room blocked by boxes, furniture piled in front of walls, or people standing in frame — it can pass the basic check and still reduce result quality.
- Borderline lighting or softness — a clearly unusable photo is declined, while a merely weak one may pass and produce a weaker direction.
If a generation does fail outright on a bad input, the credit is refunded automatically — you will not lose credits over a photo the tool genuinely could not use.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes, to start. You get 3 free credits when you sign up — no card required. They cover up to 3 watermarked preview directions at 1 credit each. Clean Standard and HD output unlock after a paid credits pack or subscription; see Pricing for the exact numbers.
Does it keep my photo?
Your uploaded photo and the results generated from it are stored so you can view, compare, and come back to them. See the Limits & Privacy page for how long we keep photos and how to ask us to remove them.
Can it tell me if furniture fits?
No. The tool does not measure your room or the furniture in it, so it cannot confirm whether a specific piece will physically fit. Treat every result as a visual direction, not a fit check — measure your space yourself before you buy anything.
How long does one direction take to generate?
Usually about one to two minutes per direction, depending on server load and the quality tier you pick — preview is the fastest, HD takes longer. If it runs past that, you will see a clear status instead of a stuck spinner, and you can leave the page and come back.
What kind of photo works best?
A phone photo taken in natural light, with the room reasonably visible and not heavily blocked by clutter or people. You do not need to stage the room or use a professional camera.
What happens if a generation fails or the result is unusable?
If a generation fails outright, the credit it would have cost is refunded automatically — you do not need to contact support. If it completes but you do not like the direction, you can try a different style or refine specific areas instead of starting over.
Can I compare more than one style?
Yes. Results are shown next to your original photo so you can compare directions side by side before deciding on one.
Do I need an account?
Yes — you'll sign in before uploading. Every step of the tool, including the free photo analysis, runs through your account, though uploading and analyzing your photo never spend a credit. You get 3 free credits the moment you sign up, and credits are only spent when you generate a direction.
