AI Floor Plan Generator from Text, Sketch or Photo

Describe the house you want, or upload a hand sketch, a photo or a scan of a plan you already have. You get a clean, labeled 2D floor plan in about 30 seconds.

Need it in AutoCAD with real dimensions? Use Plan Chat → It drafts a measured plan with room sizes and exports PDF and DXF. Images from the sketch tools below are concept drawings; their DXF (beta) button only traces the image into lines for an underlay.

Paid plans from $19/month (50 generations) + VAT where applicable (EU). One floor plan = one generation.

Floor Planner AI: Generate Your Floor Plan

Describe your plan with real dimensions and get structured geometry back — every wall, room, door, and dimension line as exact coordinates, rendered as a drafting-style plan and exported as layered, editable DXF (real CAD vectors, not a traced image). Fixed dimensions stay fixed: "the master suite is 8 × 8 on the east wall" means exactly that. Then generate three photorealistic visualizations — 3D dollhouse, interior, and exterior — straight from your plan.

Image Studio — Sketch & Photo Workflows

Working from a hand sketch or a photo of an existing plan? Drop it in below to convert it into a clean digital drawing — polish linework, add labels, or restyle without moving a wall. Every generated image gets a DXF (beta) button that auto-traces the drawing into vector linework for AutoCAD, Revit, or SketchUp.

How It Works

From a description. Type the rooms, sizes and what should sit next to what in the Floor Plan Studio, for example "single-storey home, 14 × 10 m, open kitchen and living on the south side, master bedroom 4 × 3.6 m with en-suite, two 3 × 3 m bedrooms". The AI drafts the plan as exact geometry: every wall, room, door and dimension line. You see it as a drafting-style drawing and download a layered DXF. From the plan you can then generate a 3D dollhouse view, an interior and an exterior.

From a sketch, photo or scan. Drop the image into the Image Studio and say what you want, for example "redraw this as a clean, professional 2D floor plan, keep every wall and dimension". The result is a clean CAD-style drawing with room labels. Each result has a DXF (beta) button that traces it into vector linework you can import into your CAD program.

Refine. Change one thing per prompt ("make bedroom 2 wider", "move the entry to the left", "add a walk-in pantry") and generate again. Each generation takes about 30 seconds and counts as one of your plan's generations.

Input Options

Text Description

Best for early-stage concepts when you know the program but haven't drawn anything yet.

3-bedroom single-story home, 1,800 sqft
Open kitchen → dining → living flow
Primary bedroom with en-suite + walk-in
Two secondary bedrooms share a hall bath
Laundry room adjacent to garage entry
Front entry foyer, rear patio access from living

Hand Sketch Upload

Best when you have a rough layout in mind. Take a photo of your napkin sketch or whiteboard drawing.

  • Use dark lines on white paper for best results.
  • Label rooms if possible — the AI reads handwritten text.
  • Include door swings and window positions for higher accuracy.
  • Straight-ish walls produce better output than curved freehand.

Constraints That Improve Results

Dimensional Constraints

  • Total area (e.g., 1,500 sqft / 140 m²) anchors room proportions.
  • Minimum corridor width ≥ 1.1 m (3.6 ft) for circulation.
  • Door widths: 0.8–0.9 m standard, 1.2 m for accessibility.
  • Window-to-floor ratio hints for natural light placement.

Adjacency & Flow

  • Public zone (living, dining, kitchen) near entry.
  • Private zone (bedrooms) separated by hallway or buffer.
  • Wet rooms (kitchen, bathrooms, laundry) clustered for plumbing efficiency.
  • Specify "kitchen ↔ dining" to enforce adjacency.

Who Uses AI Floor Plan Generators

Architects & Designers

Rapid concept iteration during schematic design. Generate 6+ layout options in minutes instead of hours. Export DXF to refine in Revit or AutoCAD.

Real Estate Developers

Test unit mixes and layouts before engaging an architect. Validate that a program fits the site and budget constraints early in feasibility.

Homeowners & DIYers

Plan renovations, additions, or furniture layouts. Communicate ideas clearly to contractors with labeled plans instead of verbal descriptions.

Export Formats

Plans drafted from a description in the Floor Plan Studio download as a layered DXF made of real CAD vectors, so walls, rooms and dimensions arrive as separate, editable lines in AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp or ArchiCAD.

Plans made from a sketch or photo in the Image Studio download as high-resolution PNG or JPG for email, presentations and listings. The DXF (beta) button on each result traces that image into vector linework. It imports as an editable underlay: check the scale against one known dimension after import, then trace or dimension over it.

Tips for Better Floor Plans

  • Be specific about room counts and sizes. "3 bedrooms, primary 14×16, secondaries 11×12" beats "a few bedrooms."
  • Specify entry and circulation. Where is the front door? Where do hallways connect?
  • Cluster wet rooms. Kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry near each other reduces plumbing complexity.
  • Iterate one variable at a time. Change room size OR adjacency per iteration, not both.
  • Use the DXF export as a starting point, not a final document. Trace and dimension in your CAD tool.

Limitations & Responsible Use

  • AI floor plans are illustrative and proportionally accurate, not construction-grade.
  • Dimensions are approximate — verify and refine in CAD/BIM before permitting.
  • Structural elements (load-bearing walls, columns) are not analyzed. Consult a structural engineer.
  • Building code compliance (egress, accessibility, fire separation) requires licensed review.

House Plan AI: 2D House Plans and Building Plans from a Sentence

Beyond single rooms, the same engine works as a full AI house plan generator: describe the entire home in plain language and get a complete, labeled house plan in about 30 seconds. It handles single-story ranches, two-story family homes, ADUs, duplexes, and cabins — with bedrooms, baths, kitchen-living adjacency, garage placement, and circulation laid out automatically.

Example prompt

"Single-story 3-bed 2-bath ranch, ~1,800 sq ft, open kitchen-living-dining, primary suite on the opposite side from secondary bedrooms, walk-in pantry, mudroom off the 2-car garage, covered back porch."

What you get
  • Labeled rooms with approximate dimensions and door swings
  • A new variant every time you generate again or change the brief
  • Layered DXF for AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp; PNG for clients
  • Metric or imperial units; describe multi-storey homes one floor at a time

AI building plan generator for small buildings

The same brief works for buildings that are not single-family homes: an ADU, a duplex, a barndominium, a small office or a shop. List the spaces, sizes and entrances ("1,200 sq ft office: reception, 2 meeting rooms, open desks for 12, kitchenette, 2 restrooms") and you get a labeled 2D building plan. See real outputs for office floor plans, barndominiums and ADUs.

2D house plan, measured or concept

Two kinds of 2D house plan come out of this account. The Floor Plan Studio above draws a plan with real wall coordinates and layered DXF. The sketch and photo tools draw a clean concept image of a plan. If you need a plan whose rooms keep their sizes while you keep editing it, the floor planner AI for that is Plan Chat: you change the plan by chat and it keeps the house.

House plans generated here are concept layouts for programming, lot-fit studies, and client conversations — for permits and construction, refine in CAD and have a licensed professional review. To design a whole new house with room sizes, a 3D model and an exterior render, see AI house design; to visualize a building from a brief, the AI architecture generator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I generate a floor plan from a text description?

Yes. Describe the number of rooms, approximate square footage, adjacency requirements (e.g., kitchen next to dining), and the AI generates a labeled layout with room names, door swings, and approximate dimensions.

What file formats can I export to?

Plans drafted from a description export as layered DXF with real CAD vectors. Plans made from a sketch or photo download as PNG/JPG and have a DXF (beta) button that traces the drawing into vector linework for AutoCAD, Revit or SketchUp.

Are AI floor plans dimensionally accurate?

They are proportionally accurate and great for concept planning, but not construction-grade. For permit-ready drawings, trace the output in CAD/BIM and have it reviewed by a licensed professional.

Can I convert a hand-drawn sketch into a digital floor plan?

Yes. Upload a photo of your hand sketch and the AI will interpret the layout, straighten walls, add labels, and produce a clean digital plan. Works best with clear, high-contrast sketches on white paper.

How is this different from traditional CAD software?

AI floor plan generators produce concept layouts in seconds from text or sketches, while CAD requires manual drawing. Many architects use AI for rapid early-stage concepts, then refine the chosen layout in CAD for construction documents.

Can AI generate a full house plan, not just a single room?

Yes. Describe the whole home — beds, baths, square footage, adjacencies, garage — and the AI house plan generator produces a complete labeled layout, exportable to PDF and DXF. For a multi-storey home, describe one floor at a time.

Is this an AI 2D house plan generator?

Yes. Every output is a 2D plan drawn from above, one floor per plan, with room names and dimension lines. Describe the house and download it as PNG and layered DXF. To keep exact room sizes while you change it, use Plan Chat (PDF, DXF, IFC).

Can it generate building plans, not only houses?

Yes, for small buildings: ADUs, duplexes, cabins, barndominiums, small offices and shops. It is a concept layout; structure, egress and code still need a licensed professional.

Is there a floor planner AI that edits a plan by chat?

Yes, Plan Chat on the same account: ask "make the kitchen 2 feet wider" and it changes that room and keeps the rest of the house. The generator on this page makes a new layout from each prompt.

Is this AI floor plan generator free?

No. Plans start at $19/month for 50 generations ($190/year billed annually), and one floor plan is one generation. There is no free tier. The same account and credits work in Plan Chat, which makes measured plans with PDF and DXF for AutoCAD.

What is the best floor plan AI?

It depends on the output you need. For labeled, measured layouts with DXF from plain text or a hand sketch, a dedicated generator is purpose-built. General image AIs draw pictures of plans (unlabeled, not exportable), and BIM plugins need an existing 3D model. Judge any tool on: text + sketch input, labels and dimensions, multi-story support, and PDF/DXF export.
