Question 1

How can I visualize furniture in my room?

Accepted Answer

With Canvi, you take a photo of any piece of furniture, use the background removal tool to isolate it, then place it onto a photo of your room. You can scale, position, and layer multiple items to see how everything fits together.

Question 2

Can I preview lamps, wall art, or shelving?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Canvi works with any object you can photograph and view head-on. Lamps, art prints, plants, shelving, and decorative objects all composite cleanly onto a room photo.

Question 3

Do I need professional interior design software?

Accepted Answer

No. Canvi is designed for everyday use. You don't need CAD skills, 3D modeling experience, or any design background. If you can take a photo on your phone, you can use Canvi to visualize your space.

Question 4

Can I use photos of furniture I already own?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many people use Canvi to rearrange items they already have. Photograph your existing furniture and explore new arrangements before moving anything.

Question 5

Is Canvi useful before buying home decor?

Accepted Answer

Very much so. Canvi lets you preview how a piece of decor looks in your actual space before spending money. It's especially helpful for large or expensive purchases like sofas, statement lighting, or wall art.

Question 6

Is this the same as an augmented reality (AR) room planner?

Accepted Answer

It's simpler and faster. Rather than using complex AR technology, Canvi lets you place cut-out photos of objects onto a photo of your room on a 2D canvas. This approach works on any device and requires no app download.

Question 7

Can I share or export my room visualization?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once your layout looks right, you can export the canvas as a PNG image to share with a partner, designer, contractor, or save for reference.
