ArchiVinci
AI rendering tool that turns sketches, photos, floor plans and 3D model screenshots into architectural renders.
ArchiVinci is an AI rendering platform for architecture and interior design that turns sketches, photos, floor plans and 3D model screenshots into realistic renders. ArchiVinci is used by capturing an image of the design, choosing a module such as interior, exterior or plan, and uploading it with a few settings.
Best for Architects and interior designers who need presentable renders from early sketches or model screenshots without setting up a traditional render scene.

What is ArchiVinci?
ArchiVinci is an AI architectural visualization platform that converts design material into rendered images. Input can be a hand sketch, a photograph, a floor plan, an elevation or a screenshot taken in any CAD or 3D program, and results are delivered as PNG, JPEG or WEBP. Work is organised into modules: exterior and interior rendering, landscape, floor plan and masterplan colouring, room furnishing, relighting, restyling, object placement and a rotate function that produces new camera angles. A video module animates still renders. The same engine is available as a plugin inside SketchUp. Everything runs in the cloud, so no graphics card is required. New accounts receive three renders without a watermark; premium plans give unlimited renders on the in-house engine and include coins for third-party models and video.
Key Features
Exterior and Interior Rendering
Generates building and room renders from sketches, photos, technical drawings or model screenshots while following the original geometry.
Plan and Masterplan Rendering
Turns 2D floor plans, site plans, sections and masterplans into coloured layouts and 3D-style presentation images.
Render Editing
Swaps materials, furniture and styles, relights a scene or cleans it up without redrawing the rest of the image.
Room Furnishing
Stages empty rooms, places specific furniture pieces and furnishes 2D plans.
Rotate and Close-Ups
Creates alternative viewpoints and detail shots from a single existing render.
SketchUp Plugin
Runs ArchiVinci rendering from within SketchUp so a model can be rendered without exporting it first.
How ArchiVinci works
Capture the design
Take a screenshot of the model, photograph a sketch, or photograph the existing building for a restoration job.
Choose a module
Pick the one that matches the input, for instance interior, exterior or plan, and whether materials are already defined.
Upload and generate
Send the image, select the render settings and let the system produce the result.
