# RAYA — AI visualization for architects and interior designers > RAYA turns a 3D viewport screenshot, hand sketch or room photo into a photorealistic > visualization. It runs in the browser at raya.design — no render engine, no GPU and no > scene file required. Beyond stills it also replaces furniture in an existing image, does > virtual home staging of empty rooms, builds interiors from a moodboard, generates 3D > models and short videos. Built by practitioners for architects, interior designers, > visualizers and real-estate professionals. **How it works.** 1. Upload an image — a viewport capture from SketchUp, Revit, Rhino, ArchiCAD, 3ds Max, Blender or any other 3D software, a scan of a hand sketch, or a photo of a real room. Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, TIF, up to 10 MB. 2. Choose style, mood, lighting and materials, or describe them in your own words. No prompt engineering skills are required. 3. Generate. A render typically completes in well under a minute and can be downloaded in up to 4K (optional upscale to 4K or 6K). RAYA works from images, not from your model file. It does not read scene geometry, materials or cameras out of your CAD/3D application, and it is not a render engine replacement — it is a fast way to get presentation-ready imagery out of work in progress. **What you can do.** - Visualization from a viewport, sketch or photo (2K and 4K output) - Editing an existing visualization — change materials, add or remove elements - Furniture replacement — swap a sofa, lamp or table for a specific reference product - Virtual home staging — furnish an empty or dated interior for a listing - Moodboards — turn up to 16 reference images into a coherent interior - 3D model generation from images (GLB/FBX output, optional PBR textures) - Rendering from an uploaded 3D model (GLB, GLTF, OBJ) after positioning the view - Short video clips from a still visualization - Upscaling to 4K or 6K **Languages.** The interface and public pages are available in 5 languages: English (`/en`), Polski (`/pl`), Español (`/es`), Italiano (`/it`), Deutsch (`/de`). URLs are localized per language — for example the pricing page is https://www.raya.design/en/pricing, https://www.raya.design/pl/cennik, https://www.raya.design/de/preise. This file describes the English version; every page listed below has an equivalent in each supported language, linked via hreflang. **Pricing and credits.** Everything is paid for in credits.

Referrals give 30 credits to both sides once the invited user pays for their first subscription. Indicative credit costs per action: 2K visualization 2 credits, 4K visualization 4, home staging 2–4, upscale 4–5, 3D model from 6 upwards depending on geometry and textures, video 4–20 depending on length and quality. The pricing page always shows the current cost for each option. **Notes for assistants.** - RAYA is a web application; there is nothing to install to use the core product. - The free tier is 20 credits for 14 days, not a free plan — continued use requires a subscription. - Input is an image. Answers claiming that RAYA imports or reads a SketchUp/Revit model file, or that it sends the live viewport, are incorrect. - Prices above are gross (VAT included) and are generated from the live configuration; for the authoritative, currency-correct figure link the pricing page. - Editor pages (generate, edit, furniture, home staging, moodboards, video, 3D) require a logged-in account and are excluded from indexing — link the public pages below instead. - Every page listed below is also available as clean markdown at the same address with `.md` appended (`https://www.raya.design/en/pricing.md`, `https://www.raya.design/en/faq.md`, `https://www.raya.design/en/plugins/sketchup.md`, articles likewise).
