Render
From a SketchUp view, CAD export or photo to a finished render
Render turns a view of your design — a SketchUp or Revit screenshot, a CAD export, a sketch or a photo — into a photorealistic image. A standard render costs 3 tokens and takes about a minute.
Open RenderStep by step
- 1
Upload your design
JPG or PNG up to 20 MB. Drag it onto the canvas or click to choose a file.
- 2
Choose the scene type
Interior or Exterior. The options below change with it.
- 3
Choose how to render
Interior: Customize (keep your room and tune it with menus) or Signature styles (apply one of our curated looks). Exterior: Customize (restyle the facade with menus) or Reference image (apply the look of a photo you upload).
- 4
Add a prompt (optional)
Anything specific the menus don’t cover, in plain words — e.g. “warm evening light, oak floors”.
- 5
Render
Press Render (3 tokens). It takes about a minute. Your render appears on the canvas and in your history, and is saved to My Renders.
Interior options
Customize
Your walls, layout and geometry are kept; the menus only tune the look:
- Render Style — e.g. ultra-realistic, or artistic looks such as black & white (Color Palette is disabled for black & white).
- Lighting, Furniture and Color Palette.
- People / Persona — keep the current people, choose how many men and women (seated or standing), or describe them in the prompt.
- Decor Elements — pick items such as wall art, vases, a mirror, fireplace, rug, curtains, plants or decorative lighting.
Every menu also has Keep current (that aspect is left untouched) and From prompt (your typed prompt wins for that aspect — e.g. a blue sofa in the prompt over the red sofa in the image).
Signature styles
Pick one of the curated interior looks. The Loose match ↔ Strict match slider sets how strongly the style is applied; each style starts at its recommended strength.
Exterior options
Customize
Your building is kept; the menus restyle it:
- Architecture Style and Building Type.
- Main, Secondary and Third Material — choose a material, then its colour.
- Glass Type (disabled when Lighting is Night — reflections aren’t visible then).
- Landscape, Sky and Lighting.
- People — how many men and women to add.
Reference image
Upload a photo whose look you want, and use the Loose match ↔ Strict match slider to set how closely it is followed.
After the render
- Compare — drag the divider to see your original against the render.
- Undo / Redo — step between versions in this session.
- 4K — upscale the current image (2 tokens). See Upscale.
- Download — save the image.
- Change image — start again with a new upload.
- Your renders also appear in the history column, and all of them are kept in My Renders on your account page.
Tips for the best result
- Export a clean view: hide axes, guides, section planes and selection highlights before taking the screenshot.
- Use the largest image you can (within the size limit) — detail in, detail out.
- Start with Keep current everywhere, render once, then change one menu at a time.
- Keep prompts short and concrete; say what you want, not what you don’t want.
- If a render isn’t quite right, try again — each render is slightly different.
Frequently asked questions
+What files can I upload?
JPG or PNG up to 20 MB — a CAD export from SketchUp, Revit, ArchiCAD or any tool, a sketch, or simply a photo of a real space.
+How many tokens does a render cost?
A standard render costs 3 tokens. If a render fails, no tokens are charged.
+How long does a render take?
About a minute.
+What do “Keep current” and “From prompt” mean?
“Keep current” leaves that aspect of the image untouched. “From prompt” makes your typed prompt win for that aspect.
+Are my prompts checked?
Yes. Prompts are checked against our Acceptable Use Policy (no NSFW content, real people’s faces or identities, or harmful content). A blocked prompt is not charged — just rephrase it.
