An existing rendering as source image
Upload the rendering and describe what's missing – daylight, vegetation, people, a believable sky. Geometry and perspective remain the basis; with Masking you change only the surface that looks fake.
Photo to visualization with AI.
Upload a photo of the existing building, the construction site or the plot and show what it should become: a new facade, a different material, a furnished room, a building on the parcel. Perspective and neighbors remain your photo – what changes is what you describe or mark.

One photo. A proposal within it.
Facades and a kitchen as photos and as visualizations – perspective, neighbors and light from the photo, the proposal from you. Click an example to switch from photo to image.
01
Kitchen before and after renovation
The existing U-shaped kitchen with tiled backsplash and parquet, and the visualization of the renovation – new fronts, backsplash and light; room, window and perspective from the photo.
02
City facade next to a Gründerzeit building
The two-tone facade in sage green and in two sand tones – the Gründerzeit building next door, the tree and the street stay as they are.
03
Village house on the street
The village house with gable roof in beige-gray float-finish plaster and in light sage – for the meeting with the owners or the municipality.
04
Color and plaster texture
The scraped-plaster facade with white window surrounds in sage green, in sand beige and as a fine float finish – three proposals from one image, for comparison in Boards.
05
Gabled house with annex
The gabled house with two-tone smooth plaster, with a sage-green annex and with float-finish plaster on the gable – decided surface by surface.
06
Plaster texture in detail
Coarse spray plaster next to red-brown metal, and the same detail as fine scraped plaster – showing how a material looks in the light of the site before a sample is made.
Made with Vizera. Photo and image.
Facades as photos and as proposals, plus white models and the images made from them. Click an image to see the versions.
Make renderings more realistic.
A photo isn't the only possible input: an existing rendering, a white model or a screenshot from your modeling software becomes an image with light, materials and surroundings the same way.
White model or CAD massing
A screenshot of the white model is enough as input: materials, light and surroundings come from your description or from reference images. The gallery shows what white models have become.
Screenshot from Enscape, Lumion or SketchUp
Views from your modeling software are images like any other. Export, upload, describe – and pass on the result as PNG without rebuilding the scene.
Three steps. From photo to image.
A photo becomes comparable proposals. You decide what changes and which image goes into the meeting.
Upload a photo
Photograph the existing building, construction site or plot in daylight, as frontally as possible or at a slight angle, as JPG or PNG up to 5 MB. A phone photo is enough; converging lines can be straightened beforehand.
Describe or mark
Describe the facade, materials, surroundings or furnishings in plain language, or provide up to six reference images. If only one surface should change, mark it with Masking.
Compare variants
Create several proposals, place them next to the photo in Boards and download the chosen image as PNG.
Edit precisely. Organize variants.
Mark an area, show material or style with a reference image, and collect the variants in Boards. Here's how it looks in the app.
01
Targeted changes with masking
Mark the surface that should change – the facade, the roof, the floor – and the rest of the photo stays as it is. The marked area is recalculated; outside the mask the image may lose a little sharpness.
02
Show material and style with references
Show material or style with a reference image. The result interprets the sample.
03
Collect photo and proposals in Boards
Place the photo and the proposals side by side – for the meeting with owners, customers or the municipality where the decision is made.
From photo to image in everyday work.
How firms, businesses and owners use a photo to show what the existing building should become.
Architects
Show conversions, added stories and facade variants on a photo of the existing building – for clients, neighbors and design review.
Real estate
Market the existing property with a proposal: the building after renovation, the shell as a finished house, the parcel with the planned building.
Painters
Compare colors and plaster textures on the customer's photo – in the light of the site, before a sample is made.
Homeowners
See how your own house, kitchen or bathroom will look after the renovation – before contracts are awarded.

We test what matters for your design.
A convincing image also has to hold up in everyday design work. In Vizera Labs, we test AI models and editing methods on architecture and interior images – with documented comparisons, measurable criteria and human evaluation.
Photo fidelity
Are the photo's perspective, openings and neighbors preserved? We compare proposals with the source photo and check what is kept and what is added.
Masked image editing
A new facade color shouldn't quietly change the house next door. We measure what happens inside and outside the marked area during local edits.
Materials and references
How close does the result come to your material sample? We compare reference image and visualization and assess how color, surface and material character carry over.
Quality after multiple edits
First the facade, then the light, then the furnishings: we examine how image structure, sharpness and colors change across several editing steps.
Upscaling and image detail
More pixels don't automatically mean better detail. We compare upscaled images in close-up and check for convincing structures, smoothing and unwanted textures.
AI models compared
Which model suits which task? We compare models on shared test tasks and evaluate image quality, processing time and cost as the basis for our product choices.
Internal Vizera tests. Results apply to the documented tasks, models and settings. You'll find the test scope and limitations with each study.
What works today. And what doesn't yet.
The photo becomes an image for the decision. For dimensions, construction and permits, your plans remain authoritative.
A proposal, not proof
The image shows how a proposal looks in the photo. Check color, material and scale against the sample and the plan; for building permit applications and heritage protection, it remains an illustration.
Slightly softer outside the mask
With Masking, the image is recalculated; outside the marked area it may lose some sharpness. For print and presentations, upscale the result.
Poor photos, uncertain images
Backlighting, strong distortion or obscured facades leave a lot of room. Take photos in daylight, as frontally as possible, and show the whole surface that should change.

Questions about photo to visualization.
Answers on suitable photos, perspective, existing renderings, interiors, targeted changes and rights.
Daylight photos with a clear perspective, frontal or at a slight angle, showing the whole surface that should change – as JPG or PNG up to 5 MB. A phone photo is enough; backlighting, rain and trees in the way make the result less certain.
