Live now — AI Sketch to Render

Turn a Hand Sketch into a Photorealistic Architectural Render

ArchLab is the accuracy-first AI for architects. The live product turns rough sketches and concept images into photorealistic renders in seconds — the first step toward one precise pipeline from concept to construction.

How It Works

From Sketch to Render in Three Steps

A hand-drawn architectural sketch uploaded to ArchLab
Step 1 — Upload

Upload Your Sketch or Concept

A hand-drawn sketch, a napkin concept, or a model screenshot from SketchUp, Revit or Rhino — ArchLab takes it from here.

Step 2 — Style

Choose a Style and Render

Pick a material palette, lighting and mood. ArchLab generates a photorealistic render that respects your proportions — in seconds.

Step 3 — Iterate & Export

Refine and Download

Adjust by prompt, generate variations, and download high-resolution renders ready for client presentations and pitches.

Measured, Not Imagined

Renders That Respect Real Dimensions

Most AI image tools invent a pretty picture. ArchLab is built so your proportions stay true — a render you can actually design and present from.

ArchLab's analysis step detecting elements and flagging unclear details in a sketch before rendering
When something is ambiguous, ArchLab flags it and asks — instead of inventing a measurement or a detail.

Generic AI image tools

  • Invent dimensions and proportions
  • Doors and windows that defy the plan
  • Beautiful, but not buildable
  • No path to CAD, 3D or BIM

ArchLab

  • Renders that hold your real proportions
  • Built accuracy-first, for architects
  • Faithful to your sketch and intent
  • The first step toward CAD, 3D and BIM

The Vision

One Precise Pipeline, From Sketch to Building

ArchLab is built iteratively, guided by the architects who use it. Our goal: take a hand-drawn sketch all the way to renders, technical blueprints, 3D, Revit and BIM files — every output an architect needs to move a project toward construction. The earlier you join, the more you shape what we build.

  1. Live now

    Sketch to Render

    Photorealistic renders from sketches and concept images, in seconds.

  2. Next

    Photo to Dimensions

    Extract real, technical dimensions from site photos — accuracy, not guesswork.

  3. Then

    Editable CAD & Blueprints

    Clean, layer-separated DXF/DWG you can open in AutoCAD or ArchiCAD.

  4. Then

    3D, Revit & BIM

    Structured 3D and BIM/IFC outputs that drop into your existing workflow.

  5. Later

    Interior Design & Decoration

    Extending the same precise pipeline into interiors and decoration.

What Our Partners Say

“We used ArchLab on a commercial retrofit in Chicago and cut our as-built drafting time from two days to under an hour.”

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

ArchLab is an accuracy-first AI platform for architects. The live product turns hand-drawn sketches and concept images into photorealistic architectural renders in seconds. Extracting real dimensions from site photos, plus CAD and BIM export, are on the roadmap.

Yes. The sketch-to-render product is live — you can sign up and start rendering right away. New capabilities are released iteratively, so joining the waitlist gets you early access to upcoming features and a say in what ships next.

Generative image tools predict what a space should look like and often invent dimensions, proportions and details. ArchLab is built accuracy-first: renders are generated to respect your real proportions, and our upcoming extraction tools derive measurements from geometry rather than guessing. Generic AI imagines spaces; ArchLab measures them.

Hand-drawn sketches, concept images, and model screenshots from tools like SketchUp, Revit or Rhino. ArchLab accepts common formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC (iPhone photos) and PDF.

Current plans are on our pricing page, and waitlist members receive founding-member pricing on upcoming features. For firms, we offer an evaluation on one of your real projects.

Sketch-to-render is live today. Next is photo-to-dimension extraction, followed by editable CAD export (DXF/DWG), 3D, Revit and BIM/IFC outputs, and later interior design and decoration. ArchLab is developed iteratively with close input from early users.

ArchLab is built by ArchLab AI S.R.L., based in Arad, Romania, working with architecture partners internationally.
