Opening your plan…
Skip the Outer Walls With a Starting Layout
Most people start from a blank canvas and their own tape-measure notes. If your space is close to one of these apartments, houses, cafés or offices, open it instead and redraw only the walls that differ — the editor holds 49 of them.
How to Create a Floor Plan
Four steps take you from a notepad of measurements to a plan you can print, post or hand to a contractor, all inside this online floor plan creator.
Measure Before You Draw
Walk the space with a tape measure and note each wall's length, where every door and window sits, how wide each opening is and the ceiling height.
Draw Walls or Trace an Old Plan
Click wall to wall with the W key and type each length in feet and inches or meters. Have a paper plan? Upload it as a backdrop and draw over it.
Place Openings, Names and Dimensions
Drag doors and windows onto the walls, name each room so its area appears, then generate dimension lines around the outside or measure any distance yourself.
Check It in 3D, Then Export
Switch to the 3D view to walk the rooms and catch a wrong wall, then download a PNG or SVG, a PDF at a set drawing scale or a DXF for CAD.
Free Floor Plan Creator Tools for Measured Drawings
Six tools for turning your own numbers, or an old drawing, into a plan that other people can read.
Create a Floor Plan From Your Measurements
Click from corner to corner, then enter the length you measured for each wall in feet and inches or meters; once the walls close, they become a room. That makes this a free floor plan creator with measurements, where the plan is only as wrong as your tape.

Draw a Room by Shape and Size
The room wizard asks for a room type, one of six outline shapes and each side's length against a colored line, plus the ceiling height. You get an empty room, or one furnished in a layout style you pick.
Draw a Room
Trace a Plan From a Photo or PDF
Upload a JPG, PNG, SVG or PDF of an old builder's plan and it sits half-transparent under the canvas. Draw a line along something whose real length you know, and the backdrop scales to match.

Dimension Lines, Labels and a North Arrow
Generate dimension lines around the outer walls, measure any gap with the tape tool and add text, symbols and a north arrow. Switch to blueprint view for a clean, line-drawn look that reads well in a listing or on paper.
Add Dimensions
Walk Through Your Plan in 3D
Turn the 2D plan into a dollhouse view or stand inside a room at eye level and walk it with W A S D. Save a 3D image as PNG or JPG, up to 4K on a computer, to show people who can't read plans.
