How It Works
Upload
Sketch, photo, screenshot, text prompt, or displacement map. Any starting point works.
Generate
Archly picks the right AI model and applies architecture-specific training automatically.
Iterate
'Add snow.' 'Make it night.' 'Swap to timber.' Each edit builds on the last; no restart needed.
What You Can Do with Archly
Six moves from the daily workflow, each one a real generation.
Pencil Sketch 
AI Visualization Sketch to Photorealistic Render
Upload any hand-drawn sketch, from a napkin doodle to an architectural perspective, and get a presentation-ready visualization instantly.
Concrete Facade 
Timber Cladding Swap Materials Instantly
Change facades and surfaces with a single prompt. Concrete to timber, marble to brick. Archly preserves geometry while transforming materiality.
Hand Sketch 
Rendered Plan Floor Plan to Rendered Plan
Turn rough hand-drawn floor plans into polished, presentation-quality layouts with materials and furniture.
Daytime 
Nighttime Day to Night in One Click
Switch between lighting conditions: golden hour, midday sun, twilight, or nighttime with glowing interiors.
Empty Room 
Styled Living Room Furnish Empty Rooms
Upload a bare interior and describe a style. Archly fills the space with furniture, lighting, textiles, and decor.
Empty Lot 
Villa Design Design on Empty Land
Photograph any empty lot and describe your vision. Archly places a building on the site with proper scale and context.
Design Modes
Workflows we built by analyzing what designers and architects need. Most modes are live in production.
Sketch → Render
Upload any sketch: napkin, iPad, SketchUp screenshot. Archly detects edges and spatial structure, then fills in materials, lighting, and context.
Image Edit
Start from an existing render or photo. Describe what to change; Archly edits the target region while preserving the rest. Stack edits without losing quality.
Text → Design
Type a description of what you want. Archly generates four variations; pick one and refine with text. The design evolves through conversation.
Moodboard
Combine reference images, AI-generated visuals, and material palettes into a shareable design board. Export as PDF or PNG.

Frequently Asked Questions
What file formats does Archly support?
Archly accepts PNG, JPG, TIFF, and PSD files. You can upload sketches, renders, photos, or screenshots from any 3D software. Output is available in PNG and TIFF at up to 4K resolution.
How is Archly different from Midjourney or DALL-E?
Unlike general-purpose AI image generators, Archly is built around architectural workflows. It focuses on building typologies, materials, lighting conditions, and spatial context, producing results that architects can actually use in presentations.
Can I control the output style?
Yes. Archly offers multiple design modes including photorealistic, watercolor, pencil sketch, and diagram styles. You can also fine-tune materials, lighting angle, time of day, and weather conditions.
How many credits do I need per generation?
Credit cost varies by model: lightweight edits start at around 10 credits, while premium models can use 100-300+ credits. Each model shows its cost before you generate. New users get 500 free credits to try everything.
Is my uploaded work private and secure?
Absolutely. All uploads are encrypted in transit and at rest. Your designs are never used for model training. You can delete your data at any time from your account settings.
