  3. 3

    Generate Your Drawing

    With one click, the AI will process your image and prompt to generate a new, clean technical-style drawing for you in seconds.

  4. 4

    Download Your Drawing

    Your high-resolution PNG drawing is ready to be downloaded. Use it for your projects, presentations, or design portfolios.

Transform your conceptual ideas into polished visuals almost instantly. Upload a rough napkin sketch, a photograph of a prototype, or an old blueprint, and our AI will generate a clean and professional technical drawing. This tool is perfect for engineers, designers, and hobbyists who need to communicate ideas quickly without spending hours in complex CAD software. Streamline your workflow by turning initial concepts into high-quality illustrations suitable for presentations, project proposals, or design reviews in just a few moments.

Let AI be your digital drafter. Our tool intelligently interprets your uploaded images, cleaning up messy lines, standardizing proportions, and refining details to produce a crisp, easy-to-read technical drawing. It can transform a blurry photo or a hand-drawn sketch into a professional-grade illustration that looks sharp and accurate. The AI model excels at identifying key geometric features and representing them with clean lines and a consistent style, giving your concepts a polished and clear visual format for any application.
