Sketch to render: your architectural sketch as a photoreal image

Upload a hand sketch of a house or building. The AI keeps your massing and proportions and adds real materials, light and surroundings — a presentation-ready render in about 30 seconds.

Example from our gallery

Hand sketch of a modern two-storey house with terrace steps and a reflecting pool
Before: perspective sketch
Photoreal render of the same modern house at dusk
After: photoreal render, same massing and camera

Step by step

  1. 1. Photograph or scan the sketch

    Straight-on, in good light, with the whole building in frame. Pencil, marker, napkin or tablet sketches all work; firm outlines give the most faithful result.

  2. 2. Upload it in the tool above

    The prompt is pre-filled with the request customers use most: keep the massing, proportions and openings, add realistic materials and light.

  3. 3. Name materials and mood

    Add what the sketch cannot show: “white render, larch cladding, black window frames, dusk with interior lights on”.

  4. 4. Refine, don't restart

    Fix details with short follow-ups — “make the roof flat”, “add a pool in front”, “view from the garden side”.
