What can I do in Gridsnap for free?
Draw floor plans to exact sizes, furnish them, choose floor, wall and furniture finishes one surface at a time, look at the result in 3D, elevations and sections, and export PDF, PNG, DWG and DXF files, Technical or Textured, with no watermark. Overhead renders and finish schedules are free too. Gridsnap Pro adds generated layouts and AI help in space planning, Massing authoring, coordinated room kits, finish schemes and design options to compare, automatic dimensions, material quantities, additional plan checks, unlimited synced projects and full cloud version history. The same Pro features come with every payment option: 90-day Pro access for $39 once with no automatic renewal, Pro Monthly at $19/month or Pro Annual at $149/year. Compare Free and Pro.
Do I need an account, and where are my plans saved?
No account is needed to draw, furnish, finish or export. Plans are saved in your browser on your device and you can keep as many as you like there. A free account syncs one project to the cloud so it opens on another computer; Pro syncs every project and keeps its version history. Library textures and AI tools need a network connection. See where plans are stored.
Can I start from a plan I already have?
Yes. Drop a photo, scan or PDF of the plan into the editor, set its scale against one distance you know, and trace the walls over it. What you get is an ordinary editable plan in true millimetres. You can also start from a template. See editing an existing floor plan.
Can I furnish the plan and choose finishes?
Yes. The furniture catalogue covers living, dining, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and more; every item resizes to the dimensions you type and appears in 3D. In the Finishes activity you choose a material for a room’s floor, for one wall face, or for a part of a piece of furniture, from built-in materials and the Gridsnap texture library. Finishes show in the Textured plan, in 3D and in exports. They describe how a room looks; they are not prices or product specifications. See choosing finishes.
What can I share with other people?
A measured PDF at 1:50, 1:100 or 1:200 that prints to scale, in the Technical style or Textured with your finishes; a layered DWG or DXF for CAD; a PNG; an overhead render of a furnished storey, which is a presentation image and not a scaled drawing; and a share link that opens the plan read-only in 2D, 3D and elevations in any browser, no account needed. See export and sharing.
When does Gridsnap Pro help?
When you want the editor to do coordinating or repetitive work: generating room layouts from a brief, applying a coordinated room kit across several rooms, saving finish schemes or design options and comparing them side by side, adding dimensions automatically, calculating material quantities, running additional plan checks, or syncing more than one project. Everything you draw and export stays yours when Pro ends. See pricing.
