Draw your room to scale, right in the browser

PlanPencil is a new free floor plan and room planner. You draw walls, doors and windows, place furniture at its real size, and read the area and measurements straight off the plan. No sign-up is planned for drawing, saving on your device or downloading your plan.

This is the kind of drawing the planner makes: a bedroom 4.20 m wide and 3.60 m deep, measured between the inside faces of the walls. Its floor area is 4.20 × 3.60 = 15.12 m², which is 162.8 sq ft (1 m² is about 10.764 sq ft). A 140 × 200 cm double bed, a wardrobe and a desk cover 4.12 m², which leaves 11.00 m² of open floor and a 1.60 m walkway at the foot of the bed.

We drew this example room ourselves to show the output; it is not anyone's home. Every number on it is worked out from the sizes listed in the plan sheet.

What we are building first

01Floor plan maker

Draw walls by length, add doors and windows, and see each room's size and area as you go.

02Room planner

Place beds, sofas, tables and cabinets at their real sizes and check the space left around them.

03Floor plan generator

Start from room sizes you type in, then adjust the drawing by hand.

04Bathroom planner

Bath, shower, basin and WC at standard sizes, for a small room where every centimetre counts.

05On your phone

An editor made for touch, so you can sketch a room while you stand in it.

06Measuring guide

How to measure a room, its doors and windows before you draw it.

Downloads planned for the first release: PNG and SVG images, and a PDF printed to scale, free and without a watermark. Metric and imperial units. German pages (Raumplaner) follow the English ones.

Who it is for

People moving house or rearranging a room, anyone checking whether a sofa or a bed will fit, renters planning a new place, and anyone who wants a clear drawing to show a builder, landlord or partner.

Your plans

The editor is being built to run in your browser, so a plan you draw stays on your device and is not sent to us. If a later feature ever needs to send a plan somewhere, the page will say so before you use it.

What it is not

PlanPencil is for planning and sketching. A plan is only as exact as the measurements you put in, and it is not a building drawing for permits or construction.
