Floor Plan to 3D: 10 AI Tools Compared (2026)

Updated 3 October 2026. Each vendor's pricing or product page was read on that date. Foyr Neo and Rendair blocked our request, so their entries describe the product without quoting prices. Archome AI Plan & Render is the tool we make; it sits fifth and follows the same template as the others.

"Floor plan to 3D" means different things to different people: a homeowner wants a PDF plan furnished, an agent wants a 3D plan image for a listing, a renovator wants to move a wall. The tools split the same way: some read an uploaded plan image and turn its walls into editable objects, some ask you to draw or trace, some scan a real room with a phone, and one returns a rendered picture with no model at all. This guide compares ten tools on that axis first, then on editable walls, photorealistic output, platform and pricing model.

Quick answer

With a plan image, Planner 5D, Coohom, RoomSketcher and Archome AI Plan & Render read the upload and let you move what they found. With a DWG, Homestyler imports it directly. If you prefer to draw, Floorplanner and Homestyler have the deepest free editors. If no plan exists yet, magicplan and CubiCasa scan the room with a phone. If you only want a rendered picture, Rendair does that in one step.

How we evaluated

Inputs: vendor pricing and product pages read on 3 October 2026, plus hands-on use of our own tool. We did not run one plan through all ten, so there is no accuracy ranking. We compared:

• Input: draw, upload an image the tool reads, import CAD, or scan on site.
• Editable walls: after import, can you move a wall?
• Render: is there photorealistic output, and what does it cost?
• Platform: browser, desktop or phone app.
• Pricing model: free tier, subscription, credits, per project or per scan.
• Accuracy claim: are dimensions presented as measured or approximate?

What it is: a browser-based design and rendering tool for designers, built around drawing a plan, furnishing from a catalogue and rendering inside a monthly quota.

• Best for: small studios that want one subscription for planning and client renders.
• Pricing model: seat-and-render subscriptions billed monthly or yearly, with a trial. foyr.com returned 403 to every request on 3 October 2026, so we quote no prices, quotas or trial length.
• Editable walls: yes, it is a drawing tool.
• Standout feature: render quality is the pitch.
• Limitation: aimed at designers, not a homeowner converting one PDF.

8. Rendair - a rendered picture of your plan, no model (unverified)

What it is: an AI rendering tool for architects that takes sketches, elevations, model screenshots and floor plan images and returns rendered images.

• Best for: a presentation image of a plan with no need to edit or walk through it.
• Pricing model: a credit subscription with a free starting allowance, per the vendor's own pages as indexed by search. rendair.ai returned 403 on 3 October 2026, so we quote no figures.
• Editable walls: no. The output is an image.
• Standout feature: one step from plan image to rendered view.
• Limitation: a misread wall can only be regenerated, and there is no 3D to walk through.

9. magicplan - scan the room, get the plan

What it is: a field app for contractors, restoration teams and adjusters that captures a plan on site with the camera, laser measurers or LiDAR on iOS Pro devices, and also supports sketching.

• Best for: trades who need a measured plan of an existing room with photos and a PDF report.
• Pricing model: per project. Two free projects; paid plans start at 10 new projects a month; extra projects $40 each. Plan prices did not render on the fetched page.
• Editable walls: yes, on the device.
• Standout feature: LiDAR capture, PDF scopes and an API.
• Limitation: not a rendering tool, and per-project pricing is the wrong shape for one existing plan.

10. CubiCasa - a five-minute scan, a drawn plan next day

What it is: a scanning app: walk the property with the phone for about five minutes, no measuring, and CubiCasa delivers a drawn 2D plan, with 3D plans, video renders and CAD files as add-ons.

• Best for: photographers who sell a floor plan with every shoot.
• Pricing model: per scan. LITE is free for unlimited properties up to 5,000 square feet; PLUS adds furniture and reports and the app listing shows $15 per scan; PLUS 3D adds 2D and 3D plans. cubi.casa returned 403, so these details come from the vendor's App Store listing.
• Editable walls: no. You receive a finished drawing.
• Standout feature: the scan is the input; nothing to upload or draw.
• Limitation: next-business-day delivery, and the 3D output is a floor plan graphic, not a furnished interior.

How AI reads a plan, and where it guesses

Every tool that accepts a plan image finds the walls as dark continuous lines, builds geometry from them, and guesses the third dimension - ceiling height, sill height, door swing - because a 2D plan does not contain it. The first step fails on faint or angled scans; the third is always an assumption. Treat every image-reading tool here, ours included, as a visualisation aid, not a source of measurements; for those, start from a scan or a DWG.

Which tool for which job

• A plan image you want furnished: Planner 5D, Coohom or Archome AI Plan & Render. You can test a plan on Archome AI with the 100 signup credits, enough for one read and one render.
• A DWG from an architect: Homestyler.
• No plan exists yet: CubiCasa if you want it delivered; magicplan if you want it measured on the device.
• A clean 2D plan drawn for you: RoomSketcher's drafting service from USD 20 a floor.
• One rendered picture, nothing to edit: Rendair.
• The highest-resolution render of a plan you will draw: Floorplanner at 8K.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI convert a 2D floor plan into a 3D model? Yes, with limits. Planner 5D, Coohom, RoomSketcher and Archome AI Plan & Render read an uploaded plan into an editable 3D project; Rendair returns a rendered image, not a model. All guess heights and can misread faint scans, so check the result against the original.

Which floor plan to 3D tools are free? Planner 5D, Coohom, Homestyler, RoomSketcher and Floorplanner have free tiers with watermarks or catalogue limits; RoomSketcher includes one free AI conversion; CubiCasa LITE is free up to 5,000 square feet; magicplan gives two free projects; Archome AI gives 100 credits once, enough for one read and one render.

What is the difference between a 3D floor plan, a 3D model and a render? A 3D floor plan is a top-down graphic with wall heights, as CubiCasa delivers. A 3D model is editable geometry you can walk through. A render is one photorealistic image taken from the model or, with Rendair, generated straight from the plan.

Are the dimensions accurate after conversion? Only as accurate as the source and the scale you give. Image-reading tools take scale from one number you enter or from the drawing's labels, so treat their dimensions as approximate. For measured plans use a scan (magicplan, CubiCasa) or a CAD import (Homestyler).

Can I convert a PDF or a hand-drawn plan? Most tools want an image, so screenshot the PDF page first; Archome AI Plan & Render accepts PDF screenshots, JPG and PNG. Hand-drawn plans work when lines are dark and the photo is straight on; faint pencil and perspective shots usually fail.

Can I import or export DWG and CAD files? Homestyler imports multi-floor DWG; Planner 5D exports CAD on Professional; CubiCasa offers CAD files as a scan add-on. Archome AI Plan & Render, Floorplanner and the consumer tiers of the others do not import DWG.

Which tool should a real estate agent use for a listing? With a photographer on site, CubiCasa or magicplan. With only a plan image, RoomSketcher for a clean 2D plus a few 3D photos, or Planner 5D and Archome AI Plan & Render for a furnished 3D view and renders.

Can ChatGPT or another chatbot turn a floor plan into 3D? A chatbot can describe a plan and generate an illustrative image from it, but it does not produce editable geometry or a measured model. For an editable result you need one of the dedicated tools above.
