Create stunning photorealistic images and videos from any CAD system, real life photo, or even a quick napkin sketch.
60 SECONDS. ZERO CONFIGURATION. STUNNING RESULTS.
Urban planners often need to explain abstract zoning, density, mobility, and public realm choices to residents, review boards, and elected officials who are not reading CAD, GIS, or policy diagrams every day. RENDERCAD helps teams turn plan exports, massing views, streetscape studies, and public space concepts into clear render sets that show the same proposal from pedestrian, corridor, and neighborhood viewpoints. Use consistent backgrounds to keep alternatives anchored in the same local context, then batch render option sets for a rezoning packet, comprehensive plan workshop, corridor study, or open house display. The result is practical planning imagery that supports comparison and discussion without overstating certainty about designs that are still evolving.
RENDERCAD helps Urban Planners teams generate client-ready visuals fast, so design reviews and approvals move forward without long rendering queues or scene rebuilds.
Screenshot your elevation, section, or perspective view. RENDERCAD transforms it into a client-ready architectural visualization - exterior façades, interior atmospheres, or site context renders - in under 60 seconds.
Modeled by CADSharp in Onshape. Rendered with RENDERCAD.

RENDERCAD's AI engine understands architectural context - building massing, natural light behavior, material weathering, and landscape integration. It transforms your Revit sections, SketchUp perspectives, and Rhino views into presentation-quality visualizations that read like professional arch-viz renders.

Architects need speed, resolution, and environment variety. Compare RENDERCAD's output capabilities against the traditional Lumion/Enscape/V-Ray pipeline you're used to.
Skip the setup tax. Pick the condition, material, and background with just a click while RENDERCAD handles the heavy lifting. No lighting rigs, no environment setup, no 45-minute wait; get photorealistic results in seconds.
Forget about complex prompts, RENDERCAD lets you pick materials visually from our library with over 2600+ materials to choose from. Need more? Upload your own custom material references or even MATCH complex material reference images.
Architectural IP is valuable - building designs, structural details, client-specific layouts. RENDERCAD never touches your Revit models, SketchUp files, or Rhino geometry. We work from a viewport screenshot only. Your BIM data, construction documents, and design intelligence stay in your secure environment.
Stop rolling the prompt dice trying to get the right background. RENDERCAD lets you visually select from over 1300+ environments in a single click. Supports 2D, 360 HDR, and even 3D Scenes.
Elevations. Sections. Perspectives. Interior views. Exterior contexts. Queue every presentation view from your project and render them simultaneously. RENDERCAD's bulk processing handles entire project deliverables in parallel - the full set of client presentation images, done while you refine the next design iteration. Need automation? Our API plugs into your workflow for scripted batch rendering.

RENDERCAD™
RENDERCAD floats on top of your architecture software. Capture elevations, sections, and perspectives directly from your design environment with our overlay tool. No plugin conflicts, no version incompatibilities. Desktop app & browser extension are being redesigned and will be back soon.

Three styles: Exact preserves your original geometry closely, Creative gives the AI more artistic freedom, and Freeform allows maximum creative interpretation for concept exploration.
Choose from 2,600+ materials (brushed aluminum, walnut veneer, polished concrete) and 1300+ backgrounds. Add 40+ environmental conditions like golden hour, overcast, or snow. The AI applies everything automatically.
Yes. In Realistic mode, upload up to three reference images per render - material photos, mood boards, or environment shots. The AI matches the look you show it. Add optional masks to target specific regions.
Yes. The Seamless Loop option ensures the last frame matches the first for perfect looping - ready for website backgrounds, social media, and presentations.
Download individual renders directly from the Render Studio or use the History page to access all previous renders. Batch download is also available.
Yes. Use Image to Video to generate orbit, zoom, or pan camera moves from any rendered still image. Videos take 1-2 minutes to generate from a single image.
Yes. All subscription plans include commercial usage rights for rendered images and videos you generate from inputs you are authorized to use. You cannot upload someone else's logo, brand assets, or copyrighted material and claim exclusive ownership of the output.
Plans start at $20/month for Starter (25 credits) and $60/month for Professional (120 credits). Paid plans start at $9/month.
RENDERCAD is an AI-powered rendering service that transforms CAD screenshots, real photos, and hand drawings into photorealistic images or videos in seconds. Upload your image, choose your settings, and receive a rendered result - no plugins, exports, or rendering software required.
Paid plans start at /month, so teams can choose a subscription tier before rendering.
No. RENDERCAD works from 2D images only - CAD screenshots, real photos, hand drawings, or exported views. Your actual model files never leave your machine.
Your source files stay on your machine - RENDERCAD only needs the 2D image you choose to upload. RENDERCAD does not use your input images or rendered outputs to train AI models or sell your content. To generate renders, your image is processed by third-party AI compute providers, whose retention and use are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
