The basics

What Is AI Exterior Home Design?

AI exterior home design restyles a photo of your own house. Upload a street view, choose a style or describe your own, and the AI redraws the facade: cladding, roofing material, window frames, doors, porch details, lighting and the planting right against the house.

It is instructed to keep the house itself: the footprint, number of stories, roofline, window and door positions, driveway and lot. Treat each result as a concept; AI edits can shift small details, and nothing here checks structure, cost or local codes.

  • Works on your own house photo, not a stock model
  • 8 exterior styles, or your own description
  • Changes materials and details, not just color
  • Designed to keep the footprint, roofline and openings

Why Use This Exterior House Design App?

1. Your house, not a showroom

Every style is judged on your own facade, street and setting, not on a stock house.

2. Shape and openings kept

The AI is instructed to keep the footprint, number of stories, roofline and window and door positions. It restyles the surface, not the structure.

3. Materials, not only color

Cladding, roofing material, window frames, front door, garage door, porch details and lighting can all change in one design.

4. Template or custom style

Pick one of 8 template styles, describe your own, or upload a reference photo of a house you admire.

5. Runs in your browser

A web-based exterior design app: upload from a phone or laptop with nothing to install, and find past results in History.

6. Free credits to start

New accounts receive signup credits. Each design uses 10 credits; your balance is shown in the workspace.

Home Facade Styles You Can Try

Try 8 exterior styles on your own house, from Modern Farmhouse and Contemporary facades to Colonial and Craftsman.

  • Modern Farmhouse

    White board-and-batten, black frames, dark metal roofing.

  • Craftsman

    Earthy siding, shingle gables, stone-based porch columns.

  • Contemporary

    Stucco, warm wood and dark metal panels, black frames.

  • Mediterranean

    Warm stucco walls with clay barrel-tile roofing.

  • Colonial

    Clapboard, crisp white trim, shutters and a classic door.

  • Scandinavian

    Vertical boards in black, white or muted tones.

  • Industrial

    Dark metal cladding, brick or concrete, steel frames.

  • Coastal

    Cedar shingles or white lap siding, soft blue accents.

Styles are applied through materials, colors and details on the shape your house already has; arched openings or a flat roof are not added where none exist.

How to Design Your House Exterior Online for Free

  1. Upload a photo of your house

    Stand across the street in daylight and fit the whole front in frame. Avoid cars in the driveway and deep shadow across the facade.

  2. Pick a style and add notes

    Choose one of 8 exterior styles or describe your own, then name the materials you want, such as board-and-batten siding or a stone base.

  3. Compare, then share the concept

    Run another style on the same photo, compare the results in History or download them, and take your favorite to a contractor or architect.

See a Style on Your Own House

Inspiration photos show someone else’s house. Here the style lands on yours: new cladding, roofing material, window frames and front door, while the AI is instructed to keep the footprint, stories, roofline and window positions. You judge the style against the house you actually live in, not a magazine one.

Preview Siding, Stone and Roofing Together

Materials are usually picked from separate samples: a siding chip here, a roof shingle there. Name the combination in the notes, such as white board-and-batten over a stone base with a dark metal roof, and see the pieces together on one facade before you order samples.

Borrow the Look of a House You Like

Upload a house photo in the Custom tab to guide materials, colors and mood. The AI is instructed to keep your roof shape, openings and porch footprint rather than copy reference architecture. Compare carefully with your original; a reference image does not authorize an extension.

Compare Two Directions, Then Brief a Pro

Each generation applies one style. Run a second style on the same photo, then revisit both in History or download them to compare. Take the favorite to your contractor, architect or HOA as a visual brief. It is a concept image, not a construction drawing.

AI Exterior Design Questions

Yes. It works as a free home exterior visualizer with new accounts' signup credits. Each design costs 10 credits; your balance is shown in the workspace. Sign in to generate; free requests may queue.

Yes, that is the main way to use it. Upload a PNG, JPG or WebP up to 10MB; a daytime front view with the whole facade in frame works best.

No. The AI is instructed to keep the footprint, the number of stories, the roofline and the positions of windows and doors. It changes what covers the house, not its shape.

Yes. Pick a style whose cladding you like, or name the siding in the notes, such as gray lap siding or white board-and-batten. The whole facade is restyled in one run, so trim and roofing may change too.

Use the Exterior Paint Visualizer instead. It recolors siding, trim, shutters and doors and is designed to leave materials, brick and the roof as they are; this tool changes materials too.

Yes. Many styles re-clad the walls, so the brick may be covered in the result. To keep the brick and recolor only trim or doors, use the Exterior Paint Visualizer instead.

Yes. Leave the upload empty and describe the house in the notes; the AI creates a concept house in your chosen style. It will not be your house, so for remodel ideas use a photo.

Yes, one style per generation. Keep the same photo, pick another style and run it again, then compare the results in History or download them. Each run uses 10 credits.
