Draw the plan. Then walk through it.

A floor planner that runs in your browser. Draw a home to exact measurements, furnish it, walk around it in 3D, and check the escape routes and ventilation before anything gets built. Free, with no account needed to start.

Four ways to start

You can begin from a blank grid, but one of these gets you further, faster.

Rooms, doors and furniture already in place.

House starters and their footprints
Terrace6.8 × 12.5 m
Semi-detached8.6 × 13 m
Detached11 × 14 m
Flat / apartment9.5 × 8.5 m

Trace what you have

Put a photo of an estate agent’s plan or a scanned drawing under the grid and draw over it. CAD users can import a DXF instead.

Scan the room

Open the scanner on your phone and walk the room with its camera, or its LiDAR sensor if it has one. The walls arrive in the plan on your computer.

Describe it to Caddy

Say how many bedrooms and what you need. Caddy drafts three layouts — balanced, open-plan and executive — and checks room sizes against the Nationally Described Space Standard.

Type it the way you measured it

Enter a wall length in metres, centimetres or feet and inches. Show dimensions in metric, imperial or both, measured along the centreline, the clear inside face or the outside of the walls.

  • 4.5m
  • 450cm
  • 14'9"

Walls snap to 45° and 90° with the ortho lock on. Rooms and their areas are found from the walls as you draw, and the measure and dimension tools handle everything else.

See it in 3D

One click builds the model, with doors and windows cut into the walls. Stack every floor at once, cut the walls down to look inside, and switch between day and night.

Walk through the rooms

Drop to eye level and walk around as if you were standing there. Walls stop you just as real ones would, so you get an honest sense of how much room there is.

  • W A S D or arrow keys
  • Shift to move faster
  • Click the floor to walk there

Check the ventilation

Add extract fans, cooker hoods, trickle vents, MVHR valves or a split air conditioner. The plan shows where air goes stale, checks extract rates against Building Regulations Part F, and suggests better spots for each device.

  • Stale-air heatmap
  • Part F extract checks
  • CO₂ estimate by room
  • Better spots, numbered on the plan

The simulation is an indicative guide, not a CFD model or a compliance sign-off.

Show the way out

Turn on escape routes and every door gets an EXIT marker, with an arrow from each room to its nearest exit. Useful for safety planning and landlord paperwork.

Files in and out

For a clean picture of the 3D view, take a high-resolution snapshot straight from the camera.

File formats the planner can import and export
FormatDirectionUse it for
PDFExportPrints to a true scale of 1:50 or 1:100, with a scale bar
DXFImport and exportBring walls in from a CAD drawing, or send your plan back to CAD
SVGExportAn editable vector drawing

Free. Not a trial.

Drawing, 3D, walk-through, escape routes, the airflow check and every export are free, with no subscription, no watermark and no cap on walls, furniture or floors. You don’t need an account to start.

Two optional extras use AI credits once you sign in: Caddy’s AI drafting and photo-realistic AI renders. Without them, Caddy still drafts layouts with its built-in engine.

Questions

Is the Floor Planner free?

Yes. The Floor Planner is 100% free for everyone. You get unlimited walls, furniture, doors, windows, floors, layers, 3D view, history snapshots, and high-resolution exports with no subscription or payment required.

Are there any item or wall limits?

No. There are no limits on the number of walls, furniture pieces, doors, windows, or floors you can place. Create plans as large and detailed as you need.

Do I need an account to use it?

No account is needed to start drawing and exporting plans. You can optionally create a free account to save plans to your workspace or project folders.

How does the 3D view work?

One click switches between the 2D editor and an interactive, orbitable 3D model. Anything you edit in 2D updates the 3D instantly, and vice-versa. Windows and doors are cut into the 3D walls.

What formats can I export?

High-resolution PNG and JPEG, vector SVG, DXF for CAD programs, a print-to-scale PDF (1:50 or 1:100) and a Wavefront .OBJ for 3D applications.

Can I undo mistakes?

Yes — there is unlimited undo and redo (Ctrl/Cmd+Z), a full searchable history timeline you can jump around, named version snapshots, and automatic crash recovery.

Does it support multiple floors and layers?

Yes. You can add, duplicate and delete floors, and organise elements onto layers that you can show or hide independently.

Are the measurements accurate and to scale?

You can set exact wall lengths in metres, room areas are calculated automatically, and the PDF export prints to a true scale of your choosing.

What are the fire escape routes?

A single toggle overlays an EXIT marker on every door and draws an escape route arrow from each room to its nearest exit — handy for safety planning and landlord documentation.

Is my work saved automatically?

Yes. Your plan autosaves in your browser and is restored automatically when you return — even after an unexpected crash or refresh.

Do I need a subscription or credit card?

No. The entire Floor Planner is completely free without requiring a subscription, credit card, or payment details.

Can I use it on a phone or tablet?

It runs in any modern browser. A laptop or desktop with a larger screen is recommended for detailed editing, but you can view and present plans anywhere.

Start with one room.
