Free room planner
Updated
Most free room planners make you redraw your room from scratch before you can move a single chair. ToScale starts from the plan you already have: upload a photo or screenshot of your floor plan, set the scale once, and arrange furniture on it at true size — free, in your browser, with no account.
Add a bed, sofa, desk, table or wardrobe at its real width and depth, drag it where you want it, rotate it, and swap pieces until the layout works. Because everything is drawn to the same scale as your plan, the walkways and door swings you see are the ones you will actually live with. Nothing to install and nothing to configure — open the page and start planning.
Which kind of free room planner do you actually need?
"Free room planner" covers several very different tools, and they answer different questions. This is what each approach asks of you before it gives you an answer.
| Approach | Where you start | What you have to enter | What it answers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plan-first (ToScale) | The floor plan you already have — a photo or screenshot | One known length to set the scale, then each piece's real width and depth | Whether a piece fits where you want it, and how much space is left to walk |
| Draw-from-scratch planners | A blank canvas | Every wall, door and window before you can place any furniture | The same layout question — after you have rebuilt the room |
| Fit calculators | A form with a few number fields | Room and item measurements as numbers | A yes or no for one item, with no picture of where it sits |
| 3D room designers | A template room or a model you rebuild | Room shape plus catalogue pieces, which may not match yours | How a finished room could look — styling more than fit |
| Paper plan and tape measure | The real room | Nothing to set up, but a fresh measure-up for every new idea | One layout at a time, accurately but slowly |
None of these is wrong — they suit different moments. If you already have a floor plan and a specific piece in mind, starting from the plan skips the redrawing step entirely.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this room planner really free?
- Yes. Uploading your floor plan, setting the scale, arranging furniture and exporting the result are all free, with no signup and no download.
- Do I have to draw my room first?
- No. That is the point of ToScale — you start from a photo or screenshot of an existing floor plan instead of redrawing walls. If you have no plan, a rough rectangle with one measured wall still works.
- Is the furniture drawn to scale?
- Yes. You enter each piece's real width and depth, and it is drawn at that size on your plan, so what fits on screen fits in the room.
