Your lines are the brief
The rendering follows the shapes, proportions, and spatial relationships in the sketch, so the result is recognisably the thing you drew rather than a loosely related image.
Sketch to Image: Render a Hand Drawing as a Finished Picture
Take the drawing that is already on your pad and turn it into something you can show a client — the lines and proportions you drew, rendered with real materials and light.

Finish the Drawing You Already Made
Upload a sketch and render it with real materials and light.
Example prompt
Timber-framed rear extension, glazed south wall, late afternoon light raking across the brickwork.
Sketch to render(0/1)
JPG, PNG or WEBP up to 10MB — a phone photo or a scan of the drawing both work.
Keep the drawing, change the finish
Concept sketches, elevations, and room studies rendered without redrawing.
A prompt for everything the pencil could not say
Describe materials, palette, time of day, and mood in plain text and the render picks them up — the part of the idea that never survives a graphite line.
Photographic or illustrative
Push the output towards a photorealistic render for a client presentation, or keep it looser and more illustrative when the design is still moving.
Works on more than architecture
Elevations, interior studies, furniture concepts, and landscape sketches all go through the same route, so one workflow covers most of what ends up on a concept board.
A different job from plan conversion
This produces a rendered picture. If what you actually need is a clean floor plan drawing, use sketch to floor plan instead — the two tools take the same input to very different places.
How sketch to image works
Upload the sketch
A photo or scan of the drawing, as JPG, PNG, or WEBP up to 10MB.
Write the prompt
Say what the materials, lighting, and overall style should be. Keep it concrete rather than poetic.
Render and iterate
Generate the image, adjust the prompt, and run it again until it matches the idea in your head.
Take it further
Open the result at full size to keep it. If the drawing is a floor plan, sketch to floor plan redraws it as a clean labelled plan instead.
Sketch to Image FAQ
Still have a question?
Browse the Help Center or open a support ticket from your account.
Visit the Help CenterDrawings with clear, continuous lines and readable proportions. Heavy shading, overlapping construction lines, and very faint pencil all make the underlying shape harder to follow.
This renders your drawing as a finished image. Sketch to floor plan redraws it as a clean floor plan with walls and labelled rooms instead.
Yes, through the prompt, the finish preset and the drawing style. Naming materials, a palette, and a time of day gives you far more control than adjectives like "nice" or "modern".
JPG, PNG, and WEBP images up to 10MB.
Yes. Interior studies, furniture concepts, elevations, and landscape sketches all go through the same workflow.
Each generation spends credits, and the Generate button shows the exact cost first. New accounts get 10 free credits for text-to-image on Z-Image only, so upload tools need credits from a plan or one-time pack on the pricing page.
