A 2D/3D home and interior design platform from Planner5D UAB of Lithuania. Since its 2011 release, it has been used as a tool that covers everything from floor plan creation to furniture placement and 4K rendering, all within a browser or app. Its defining trait is that you can get a three-dimensional preview of a finished space simply by drawing the room outline and dragging in furniture, with no CAD expertise required. In recent years its AI capabilities have expanded, adding floor plan recognition that converts a photographed paper plan into an editable 3D model, and “AI Studio,” which supports the workflow from concept creation through render polishing.
Key Features
- AI floor plan recognition turns paper plans into 3D: Upload an image of an existing floor plan and the walls and room divisions are read automatically and converted into an editable project, sparing you from redrawing walls from scratch
- Design support through AI Studio: Concept work with mood boards and color palettes, layout option generation, automatic furnishing of empty floor plans, restyling of existing interiors, render quality enhancement, and export to presentation videos and 360° panoramas ─ all handled in a single workspace
- A catalog of more than 10,000 furniture and interior items: Place models close to real-world furniture and building materials to check concretely how the finished space will look. The free plan gives access to a portion of the catalog
- 4K rendering and 360° walkthroughs: Higher tiers let you produce high-resolution render images and 360° views that let viewers move through the room, which works well for proposal materials aimed at clients
- Multi-platform support: Available on the web, Windows, iOS, and Android, with viewing support on Apple Vision Pro. You can check designs on a phone while out and make fine adjustments on a PC
- Offerings for businesses and educational institutions: An Enterprise plan covers a white-label room planner, a 3D catalog of your own products, a product configurator, and API integration

Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Go from floor plan to a finished 3D impression in one flow, with no CAD learning curve
- Paper or PDF floor plans can be imported directly, so renovation planning gets moving quickly
- The free plan places no limit on the number of projects, making it easy to try out
- The same project can be handled on web, PC, phone, and tablet, easing the back-and-forth between on-site checks and work at home
- The furniture catalog is extensive, which suits verifying size and color schemes before buying
⚠️ Cons
- The free plan gives access to only part of the catalog, and high-quality rendering and AI features assume a paid plan
- AI Studio runs on a credit system, so repeated generation will hit the limit
- It is not intended for producing precise construction drawings for building permit applications
- The Professional plan’s annual price works out higher than the monthly rate on a per-month basis, so choose the billing period carefully
- Japanese-language information, official documentation included, is limited, so some work happens in English

Who Is It For
- Anyone who wants to check furniture layout and room atmosphere in three dimensions before moving or renovating
- People who want to use a paper floor plan they already have as material for 3D exploration
- Interior professionals who need render images and 360° views prepared quickly for client proposals
- Those without time to learn CAD who still want to share design ideas through intuitive operation
- Home and furniture businesses that want to embed a room simulator into their own site (Enterprise plan)
Summary
Planner 5D is a design tool that has long been used for creating floor plans and 3D interiors without specialist knowledge, and the addition of AI floor plan recognition and AI Studio has substantially shortened the work of firming up an idea. Since the free plan lets you try the feel of the tool and part of the catalog, a good approach is to build your own home’s floor plan first and consider Premium or above once render quality or AI features become necessary. It is not suited to formal architectural drawings, but as a tool for sharing an image of a living space it is an approachable option.
