An AI feature built into RoomSketcher, the floor plan service from Norway’s RoomSketcher AS. Upload a photo of a paper floor plan taken with your phone, or a PDF, JPG, or PNG downloaded from a property listing, and the AI automatically recognizes walls, doors, and windows and converts them into a digital floor plan you can edit on the spot. Because there is no need to trace anything by hand, it dramatically reduces the work of recreating existing drawings in real estate and interior design. After conversion, you can place furniture using RoomSketcher’s own tools and export 2D/3D plans and 3D renderings.
Key Features
- Automatic detection of walls, doors, and windows from images and PDFs: Supports JPG, PNG, and PDF. It even works from a smartphone photo of a paper floor plan. According to the official site, the model is trained on more than 50,000 real floor plans and conversion completes in a matter of seconds
- Editable right after conversion: The output is not an image but an editable floor plan. You can adjust wall positions and add room names, measurements, and labels, so any small errors in the AI’s recognition can be corrected yourself
- Furniture placement and 3D output: After conversion, you can place furniture from RoomSketcher’s library and swap flooring and wall materials. From the same layout you can export 2D floor plans, 3D floor plans, 3D photos, and 360-degree views
- Furniture is not detected: AI Convert recognizes only structural elements ─ walls, doors, and windows. Furniture drawn in the original plan is not converted and must be placed afterward
- Preview before you commit: You see the conversion result before spending credits, so a drawing the AI struggles with does not go to waste
- Consistent workflow through client sharing: Finished plans can be exported with your branding (logo and colors) and used directly as property materials or proposals
Pricing
AI Convert is not a standalone subscription; it consumes “credits” included in a RoomSketcher plan. The first conversion is free, and each conversion after that costs 5 credits. The free Pay As You Go plan includes no monthly credits, so in that case conversion is billed at $20 per floor on a pay-per-use basis.

Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Removes the need to redraw existing floor plans from scratch, greatly speeding up the start of a project
- The output is editable data, so mistakes in the AI’s recognition can be fixed by hand afterward
- Conversion, furniture placement, 3D export, and sharing are all handled within a single service
- The first conversion is free, and afterward you can preview the result before deciding to spend credits
- You can start from a phone photo of a paper drawing
⚠️ Cons
- Furniture is not recognized, so reproducing the original furniture layout is manual work
- Recognition accuracy drops when the source drawing is blurry or hand-drawn with rough lines
- The free plan grants no monthly credits, so continued use assumes a paid plan or pay-per-use
- The service and its help center are primarily in English, and Japanese-language information is limited
- How well it handles notations specific to Japanese residential drawings (tatami-mat counts, Japanese-room symbols, and so on) needs to be verified against your own plans
Comparison with Similar Services
| Criteria | RoomSketcher (AI Convert) | CubiCasa | magicplan | Planner 5D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main input | Existing floor plan images and PDFs | On-site scanning with a phone | Phone scanning and measurement | Manual drawing, image import |
| How conversion happens | Automatic AI processing in seconds | Plan delivered after the scan is submitted | Generated instantly in the app | Mostly drawn by the user |
| Main use case | Digitizing and re-editing existing drawings | Measured plans for property listings | Site surveys and estimates | Visualizing layouts and interiors |
| 3D output | 3D floor plans, 3D photos, 360-degree views | 3D plans (higher tiers) | 3D view | 3D rendering |
| Billing model | Subscription plus credit usage | Per plan | Credits per project | Subscription / one-time purchase |
The starting point differs from tools built around scanning a space on site (CubiCasa, magicplan). AI Convert begins from the state of “a drawing already exists,” which suits digitizing existing property materials or older plans.
Who Is It For
- Real estate agents who want to rebuild listing floor plans into clean, presentable drawings
- Interior designers who want to base furniture and finish proposals on drawings received from clients
- Anyone who wants to digitize old paper drawings so they can be reused internally
- Individuals exploring a renovation or rearrangement who want a 3D view of their own home’s layout
- People who need good-looking drawings but have no time to learn CAD software from the ground up
Summary
RoomSketcher’s AI Convert exists to solve the situation of “we have the floor plan, but we cannot edit it.” Its strength is automatically detecting walls, doors, and windows, turning them into an editable plan, and connecting that directly to RoomSketcher’s furniture placement and 3D output. Keep in mind that furniture is not detected and that results depend on the quality of the source drawing. Since the first conversion is free, the practical approach is to upload one of your own plans, check the recognition accuracy, and then decide which plan to choose.
