Best AI Floor Plan Generators

Also known as: AI floor plan design

"AI floor plan generator" covers three different jobs. Some tools convert an existing plan (a photo, PDF or sketch) into an editable digital plan. Some scan a room with your phone camera or LiDAR sensor and draw the plan with measurements. A few generate new layouts from a brief, such as "three bedrooms, open kitchen, 1,800 sq ft". The best tool depends on which job you have.

We ranked 8 tools on measurement accuracy, how much the AI actually does for you, exports (2D, 3D, PDF, CAD), price, and features for real estate and trade professionals. Prices are in US dollars as of 26 September 2026. One warning up front: none of these tools replaces an architect, engineer or designer for permit drawings. For furnishing the rooms, see our best AI interior design tools; for listing work, see best AI for real estate.

Quick answer

RoomSketcher is the best AI floor plan generator for most people in September 2026. AI Convert turns an existing plan into an editable project, and Pro ($144/year on its current offer) adds measurements, total area and print-to-scale. For measuring a real home with your phone, magicplan is the most accurate choice, CubiCasa gives free listing floor plans from a 5-minute scan, and Maket is the pick for generating new layouts. Treat every result as a draft: permits need drawings checked by a qualified professional.

#1 · Homeowners, agents and designers who need clean, measured 2D and 3D plans

RoomSketcher

by RoomSketcher · Freemium · $144/year (Pro, current offer) or $24 monthly
8.6/10

RoomSketcher is the most complete floor plan tool for everyday users. Its AI Convert feature takes an existing computer-drawn plan as a JPG, PNG or PDF and maps the walls, doors and windows into an editable project in seconds; RoomSketcher says the model was trained on more than 50,000 real floor plans. You can also draw from scratch or trace a blueprint.

Once the plan is in, you add measurements, room names, furniture and materials, then export a clean 2D plan, a 3D floor plan, 3D photos or a 360 view. Pro adds print to scale and total area, which matter for contractors and listings. If you have no time, the Redraw Service has human illustrators redraw a sketch or blueprint by the next business day for $38 per floor, and the result stays editable.

The free plan is only a taster (2 credits and 1 AI conversion). Pro is $144 a year on the current half-price offer, or $24 a month.

Pick it if you want accurate, good-looking plans with little effort. Skip it if you need to measure an empty house from scratch; a scanning app such as magicplan is faster.

#2 · Measuring real rooms on site with a phone, for remodelers and claims work

magicplan

by Technologies magicplan Inc. · Freemium · $12.99/month or $129.99/year (Sketch Plan)
8.5/10

magicplan is the tool trades people reach for when they need to measure a real building quickly. You walk the rooms with your phone and the plan builds in real time. For better accuracy you can use laser-assisted measuring, and on iPhone and iPad Pro models it can use the LiDAR depth sensor. Photos, 360 images and notes attach to each room, so the plan doubles as a site record.

It is built for remodelers, restoration firms and insurance claims. Exports include ESX files for Xactimate, FML and PDF reports, and higher plans add estimates and price lists.

That focus shows in the pricing. Homeowners can use the App Store's Sketch plan at $12.99 a month or $129.99 a year, which is enough to measure a home before a renovation. Professional plans on magicplan's site are sold per project, starting at $400 a month for 10 projects on a month-to-month plan.

It does not generate new layouts or glossy 3D renders.

Pick it if you need to measure an existing home accurately with a phone. Skip it if you want to design a new layout from scratch; try Maket or Planner 5D.

#3 · Real estate agents and photographers who need listing floor plans

CubiCasa

by CubiCasa Oy · Freemium · Free (LITE); PLUS $15 per plan
8.4/10

CubiCasa is built for property listings. You scan the home by walking through it with your phone for about five minutes, with no sketching or tapping corners, and CubiCasa sends back the floor plan. The free LITE plan gives a black-and-white plan with room dimensions for homes up to 5,000 square feet, which is remarkable value for an agent.

Paid options add polish. PLUS ($15) includes fixtures, total area, custom branding and SVG files within 24 hours, and PLUS 3D ($65) adds a furnished 3D plan. The GLA report add-on ($15) calculates gross living area in line with the ANSI Z765 square-footage standard, according to CubiCasa, and CAD files cost $35 extra.

The trade-off is control. You do not draw or edit much yourself; you scan and wait, and output is aimed at marketing rather than design or construction. The app has far fewer App Store ratings than magicplan or Polycam.

Pick it if you list homes and want cheap, consistent floor plans. Skip it if you are planning a renovation and need to edit the layout.

#4 · Architects, contractors and designers who need as-builts and CAD files

Polycam

by Polycam Inc. · Freemium · $400/year per user (Business, needed for floor plans)
8.3/10

Polycam is a 3D scanning app that has grown into a serious floor plan tool. Scan a room or a whole floor with your phone (LiDAR helps but is not required) and Polycam produces a 3D model, measurements and, on the Business plan, 2D and 3D floor plans. It also handles photogrammetry, Gaussian splats and drone captures of roofs and exteriors.

Its strength is getting data into professional software. Polycam says scans export to formats ready for AutoCAD, SketchUp and Revit, including DXF, OBJ, FBX and ESX, which makes it useful for as-built drawings before a renovation.

The catch is the price for floor plans. The Basic plan ($150 a year) gives unlimited scans but no floor plans; you need Business at $400 per user per year. The App Store lists different subscription names and prices (such as Pro at $199.99 a year), so check what your plan includes before paying.

Pick it if you need scans that feed straight into CAD or BIM. Skip it if you just want a simple plan of your flat; RoomSketcher or magicplan cost less.

#5 · Homeowners planning a renovation or a new layout on a budget

Planner 5D

by Planner5D, UAB · Freemium · $59.99/year (Premium)
8.2/10

Planner 5D is a popular home design app with a free floor plan creator and several AI helpers. You can draw walls and rooms to real dimensions, switch between 2D and 3D, and furnish the result from a large catalogue. Premium adds AI floor plan recognition: upload a picture of a plan and Planner 5D converts it into an editable 3D project, emailing you when it is ready. The mobile app also has a camera mode that builds a 3D copy of your rooms from photos.

Its AI Studio can generate or clean up floor-plan visuals and render concepts, which helps when you are comparing layouts for a renovation.

Value is the big draw. The free plan allows unlimited projects, and Premium is $59.99 a year. CAD export needs the Professional plan ($399.99 a year).

It is less precise than a dedicated measuring app, so check key dimensions with a tape measure before ordering a kitchen or flooring.

Pick it if you want to plan and visualise a layout cheaply. Skip it if you need survey-grade measurements or listing reports.

#6 · Free browser-based plans and one-off paid upgrades per property

Floorplanner

by Floorplanner · Usage-based · Free; credits from $8.15 for 5
7.7/10

Floorplanner has offered a free browser-based floor planner since 2007, and it remains one of the best free options. You draw rooms and walls, move them around, and see the result in real-time 3D, with a library of more than 260,000 3D models, including real products from retailers.

The AI and automation are modest. Floorplanner says it can convert 2D drawings into editable 3D plans and import Matterport tours, and its free Floorscanner iPhone app uses the LiDAR sensor to scan a room or a whole floor in minutes. Most of the work is still manual drawing.

Pricing is pay-per-project, which suits people who need one good plan rather than a subscription. Free projects export small, watermarked images (960 x 540 pixels). Credits unlock HD, 4K or 8K renders and more floors: 5 credits cost $8.15.

#7 · Exploring new home layouts from a brief before hiring a designer

Maket

by Maket · Freemium · $20/month (Homeowner)
7.4/10

Maket is the closest thing here to a true AI floor plan generator. You describe what you want, and it generates new layouts that you can refine by describing changes in plain words, then visualise in 3D and in different styles. It suits someone planning a new build, an addition or a major reconfiguration who wants to test ideas before paying an architect.

The credit maths is clear: a generated or uploaded floor costs 20 credits, a render 10. The free plan gives 50 one-time credits and single-floor plans, but no downloads. Homeowner ($20 a month) covers about 15 generated floors a month with PDF and DXF exports.

Maket is honest about limits. Its own FAQ says a design is not ready to build and that a qualified professional should review it against your site, structure and local rules before construction or permits. Uploaded plans on Homeowner are AI-assisted and not guaranteed accurate; only Pro ($100 a month) includes human-validated uploads.

Pick it if you want to explore layouts for a new home. Skip it if you need to measure an existing one.

#8 · Turning a flat 2D plan into a furnished 3D visual for marketing

HomeDesignsAI

by HomeDesignsAI · Freemium · $22/month (Standard)
6.6/10

HomeDesignsAI is mainly an AI redesign app for rooms, exteriors and gardens, but every plan includes a 2D to 3D floor plan tool. Drop in a flat floor plan and it produces a furnished 3D view, which the company pitches to developers who want to market homes before they are built.

That is the right way to think about it: a visual for marketing, not a plan to build from. It does not measure rooms, calculate areas or export CAD files, and AI-generated 3D views can simplify or change details of the original drawing. Always show buyers the real plan alongside it.

The pricing favours Pro: $29 a month buys 1,000 credits, against 100 on the $22 Standard plan, and paid plans include a commercial licence with no watermark. The same subscription also covers room redesigns and virtual staging, so an agent may get more from it than from the floor plan tool alone.

Pick it if you want quick 3D marketing visuals from existing plans. Skip it if you need accurate, measured plans; use RoomSketcher, magicplan or CubiCasa.

General chatbots such as ChatGPT or Gemini can describe a layout or draw a picture that looks like a floor plan, but the result is not to scale and walls, doors and dimensions rarely add up. Use them to brainstorm a room list, not to draw the plan.

How accurate are phone scans and AI conversions?

Accuracy depends on how the plan is made.

  • LiDAR scanning (magicplan, Polycam, Floorscanner) uses the depth sensor on iPhone and iPad Pro models to measure distances directly. It is the most reliable phone method, and magicplan also supports laser-assisted measurements.
  • Camera-only scanning works on more phones but relies on the software estimating depth, so it can struggle more with dark rooms, mirrors and glass.
  • AI conversion of an existing plan is only as good as the source. A clean, computer-drawn PDF converts well; a hand sketch or a photo taken at an angle needs checking. Maket, for example, says its AI-assisted uploads are a starting point and not guaranteed accurate.
  • Generated layouts are concepts. They follow your brief, not your site's slope, structure or local rules.

Whatever you use, check a few key dimensions with a tape or laser measure, especially before ordering kitchens, flooring or built-in furniture.

Floor plans for permits: why AI does not replace an architect

A building permit usually needs drawings that show structure, fire safety, stairs, ventilation, energy and code compliance, not just room shapes. Depending on where you live and the size of the job, those drawings may have to be prepared or stamped by a licensed architect or engineer. None of the tools on this page produces permit-ready construction documents on its own, and Maket says so directly: a qualified professional should review a design against the site, structure and local building requirements before construction or permitting.

AI is arriving on the other side of the counter too. Archistar's AI PreCheck is used by more than 30 cities and local governments to check submitted plans against zoning and building codes, according to the company. That speeds up review, but it checks professional drawings; it does not create them.

The smart use of these tools is earlier in the process: measure what you have, test layouts, and walk into your first meeting with an architect or builder with clear ideas and accurate existing-conditions plans. That can save design hours.

Floor plans for real estate listings

For listings, speed, consistency and correct square footage matter most.

  • CubiCasa gives a free LITE plan with room dimensions from a 5-minute scan, and sells a $15 GLA report aligned with the ANSI Z765 standard for measuring finished square footage.
  • RoomSketcher adds branding and total area on Pro, and its redraw service turns an old blueprint into a clean plan by the next business day.
  • magicplan and Polycam suit agents who also do renovation or insurance work.

Label AI-generated 3D views and virtual staging clearly, and show the real measured plan next to them. For more listing tools, see our best AI for real estate ranking.

Expert tips
  1. Measure one long wall with a tape or laser before you trust any scan. If it is off, rescan that room slowly, with lights on and doors open.
  2. Scan empty or tidy rooms. Furniture against walls hides corners and makes both LiDAR and camera scans guess.
  3. When converting an old plan, upload the cleanest version you have (a PDF from the builder beats a phone photo of a printed brochure), then check every door and window position.
  4. For a renovation, make an accurate plan of what exists first, then copy it to try new layouts. Keeping the original saves you re-measuring later.
  5. Bring your plan to the first meeting with an architect or builder as a PDF plus the editable file. It can cut the time they spend measuring existing conditions.

Jargon explained

LiDAR
A depth sensor on some iPhones and iPads that measures distance with invisible light, making room scans much more accurate.
To scale
A drawing where every length is in exact proportion to the real building, so you can measure from it.
CAD / DXF
Computer-aided design software used by architects and builders. DXF is a common file format that CAD programs can open.
GLA
Gross living area: the finished, heated floor area of a home, used in listings and appraisals.
ANSI Z765
A US standard for measuring and calculating the square footage of single-family homes.
As-built drawing
A plan of a building exactly as it exists today, often made before a renovation.

Yes, with limits. CubiCasa's LITE plan is free for homes up to 5,000 sq ft, Planner 5D and Floorplanner have free planners, RoomSketcher includes one free AI conversion, and Maket gives 50 one-time credits (about two generated floors) with no downloads.

Can I make a floor plan by scanning a room with my phone?

Yes. magicplan, Polycam, CubiCasa and Floorplanner's Floorscanner all scan rooms with your phone. iPhones and iPads with a LiDAR sensor give the most reliable results. Check a few measurements with a tape before relying on them.

Can AI floor plans be used for building permits?

Not on their own. Permits usually need construction drawings that show structure and code compliance, and many jobs need an architect or engineer. Use AI plans to measure and test ideas, then have a professional prepare the permit set.

Can I convert a PDF or photo of a floor plan into an editable plan?

Yes. RoomSketcher's AI Convert accepts JPG, PNG and PDF plans, Planner 5D Premium recognises plan images into 3D projects, and Maket accepts uploads. Clean, computer-drawn plans convert best; hand sketches need more checking.

Can ChatGPT make a floor plan?

It can suggest a room list and describe a layout, and its image model can draw something that looks like a plan. But the drawing is not to scale and dimensions rarely add up, so use a dedicated tool for the actual plan.

Which floor plan app is best for real estate agents?

CubiCasa for fast, cheap listing plans and ANSI Z765 GLA reports, and RoomSketcher for branded 2D and 3D plans and a next-day redraw service.
