Raya is AI software for interior visualization for design studios and for freelancers who design professionally. You upload a view from your model, a photo of the room or a freehand sketch, and AI returns a photorealistic visualization in under a minute, with no materials, lights or cameras to set up in a render engine.
That way you develop the concept while you work, not after hours. You test several layout variants of the same interior, compare them side by side and show them to the client in the meeting, instead of booking another round of revisions.
The starting point is what you already have on your drive. Raya accepts a screenshot of a view from a 3D model, a photo of an existing room and a freehand concept sketch. The model needs no materials applied and no lighting set up - a readable shape and a perspective are enough. If you work on a finished model, you can also upload the file itself and create a visualization from a 3D model.
AI visualization generation starts from the uploaded view: AI reads geometry, proportions and framing from it, and fills in the finish based on your description and the style you pick. That is why this room visualization software shows your interior and not a similar room from the internet: the layout of walls, windows and furniture stays the same, while material, light and mood change.
You download the finished image in 2K or 4K. When you need material for print or for a large board, you enlarge the visualization with the upscale tool to 4K or 6K for 4 credits, without generating it again.
The biggest change in everyday work is not that one visualization is ready faster. It is that you can afford ten. The same kitchen in oak and in white lacquer, a living room in a warm and in a cool palette, a bedroom in morning and in evening light - each variant is a separate generation for 2 credits, not a separate evening of work.
When a client wants to see a different sofa or a different wall colour, you do not go back to your 3D software. In AI visualization editing you select a part of the image, describe the change and regenerate only that part - the rest of the frame stays untouched. Interior design and visualization stop being the stage that closes a project and become a tool for the conversation.
That changes how meetings go too. Instead of defending one version, you show three and ask which is closer to what they had in mind. The decision is made on the spot, and you do not do work the client will reject anyway.
From a finished visualization Raya generates a video 4 to 10 seconds long. There is nothing to edit and no camera to set up in 3D software: you pick an image, a ready-made shot or your own description of the motion, and you get a clip for a presentation, a post or a reel. Videos cost from 5 credits.
A ready-made shot is a camera move or an effect you choose with one click, with no motion description to write. Hover over a tile or tap it to see a preview.
All ready-made shots, lengths and prices are described on the page of the AI video generator.
A visualization is rarely the only material you hand to a client. On the same account and the same pool of credits you also make a few seconds of video, a 3D model of a piece of furniture from a photo, furnishings for an empty interior and an inspiration board to start a project.
The visualization you already have turns into a shot a few seconds long: light, curtains and details come alive and the interior stops being a flat picture. Material from 5 credits, just right for a post, a presentation for an investor or for a client who cannot read a floor plan.
A photo of an armchair from a showroom, or of a piece the client wants to keep, comes back as a 3D model in FBX or GLB, from 6 credits. You place it in the scene in your own software and keep designing with a real shape instead of an approximation.
A photo of an empty flat gets furniture, textiles and accessories - for 2 credits in 2K. It is useful right at the start, before a model exists: the client sees what can be done with the space and you model nothing on spec.
The generator composes your references into one board: colours, materials, furniture and the mood of the interior, from 2 credits. Material for the first meeting, where you agree on the direction before you start drawing.
Raya does not change how you design. It changes what showing the design costs - in time, in hardware and in rounds of revisions. The same arithmetic works out in a design studio and for a freelancer, with the difference that a freelancer has nobody to hand the render to.
| Classic rendering | Rendering with Raya | |
|---|---|---|
| Preparing the scene | Materials, lights and cameras set up by hand in a render engine | You upload a view from the model and pick a style from a list |
| Time to the first image | From a dozen minutes to several hours of computing | Under a minute |
| A second colour version | Swapping materials in the scene and rendering again | Another generation for 2 credits |
| A revision after the client's comment | Back to the 3D software, change the scene, compute the whole frame again | You select a part of the image and describe the change |
| Hardware needed | A workstation, so a render does not take the night | A browser - the image is computed on our side |
The table is about the presentation stage. Documentation, dimensions and the layout stay in your design software - Raya does not replace that.
Software for interior architects rarely has rendering that keeps up with the pace of client approvals. Raya does not replace your design software - it adds to it. Plugins start the generation from inside the window you run the project in: they capture the current view from the model and send the finished visualization back to the plugin, with no exporting and no uploading of files to a browser.
There are 7 plugins for CAD and 3D software:
If you work on a Mac or in software outside that list, the same interior visualization app is there in your browser. As online interior visualization software, Raya requires no installation: you make room visualizations online from a screenshot of a view, on the same account and the same credits.
General purpose image generators require learning how to prompt and return a different interior every time. Raya is software for interior designers, not a universal picture generator, so it works the other way round: an AI assistant for interior designers sticks to your framing and your perspective, while style, materials and lighting are picked from ready lists instead of being described in a sentence and left to luck.

I've been using Raya to enhance my architectural and interior 3D renders for a few months now and I'm genuinely so impressed with both the software and the team behind it. As someone who creates detailed 3D visualisations professionally, one of the biggest challenges I've found with other AI platforms is their tendency to change elements of the original design. Raya does an incredible job of enhancing the realism of my renders while maintaining the architectural details, layouts and materials I've worked so carefully to create in the digital model. The platform is incredibly easy to use, and the results have been fantastic. What really sets Raya apart, though, is the people behind it. The team is genuinely lovely, approachable and always happy to answer questions or offer assistance. It's refreshing to find a company that not only creates great software but also provides such wonderful customer service and support. I'm really enjoying using Raya in my workflow and love being part of the journey as they continue to develop and improve the platform. Highly recommend!
Raya has become an important part of my everyday design work. It lets me quickly create realistic interior visualizations, test different material, colour and lighting options, and present ideas to clients smoothly at an early stage of the project. The tool significantly speeds up the design process, makes decisions easier and helps me picture the final result better, which translates into smoother communication with clients and greater efficiency.
Raya has changed the way we work on interior visualizations. Thanks to it, we were able to give up V-Ray and time-consuming rendering. Now, based on raw views from SketchUp, we create realistic visualizations in a short time. A process that used to take several days, we now shorten to a few hours, getting consistent shots of the interiors of an entire house. I especially appreciate the way Raya interprets light, giving the arrangements a natural and realistic character. Often, already when using 4 credits, it is possible to get a satisfying final result. Of course, like every AI tool, Raya sometimes tends to add something "of its own", but by following the creators' guidelines, you can effectively limit hallucinations. The biggest advantage is being able to focus on the design itself, instead of wasting time on technical visualization settings. It is a huge time saving and a real improvement to the daily work of an interior designer.
We bill in credits. A 2K visualization costs 2 credits, a 4K one 4, enlarging a finished image 4, and a few seconds of video from a visualization starts at 5. You get credits in a monthly subscription or buy a pack, with no commitment - plans and packs are compared in the visualization pricing.
To start you have 20 free credits valid for 14 days, that is 10 visualizations in 2K. No card is needed, so you can use the free trial to check the quality on your own project before you decide anything.
No, and it does not intend to. Floor plans, dimensions, the layout and documentation still happen in your own software. Raya replaces the rendering stage: instead of setting up materials, lights and cameras, you upload a view from a finished model and get a photorealistic image out of it.
Proportions and layout, yes - AI reads them from the uploaded view, so walls, windows and the spacing of furniture stay where you designed them. Raya is not a measuring tool, though: it will not read a dimension off a drawing and will not reproduce a catalogue piece to the centimetre. Dimensions and documentation stay in your software, while the visualization shows what the interior looks like. The second thing worth knowing up front: a classic render engine computes the same image from the same scene every time, while AI interprets the uploaded view anew each time - there is no guarantee of hitting it on the first attempt. With a readable interior one generation is usually enough; with a harder scene - many planes, mirrors or unusual geometry - it can take several before the result is satisfying. The better the material you upload, the better the chance of a good result first time: a readable frame, a visible shape and a proper export rather than a screen grab make the biggest difference here.
Yes. You select a part of the finished image and describe what should change - a different wall colour, a different sofa, fewer accessories. You can also upload a photo of a specific piece of furniture as a reference. The rest of the frame stays as it is, so a revision does not mean generating the whole visualization again.
As many as the credits allow - each variant is a separate generation for 2 credits in 2K. In practice designers show three or four colour and material versions in one meeting, because at that cost there is no need to decide in advance which one is worth preparing.
Yes. Uploaded images, descriptions and generated visualizations are not used to train AI models - neither ours nor our providers'. We use paid production plans whose licence terms explicitly exclude using customer data for training.
