Can I use product images from furniture websites?

Yes. Screenshots and downloaded product images work just as well as original photos. The background removal handles most product photo backgrounds cleanly.

How realistic will the placement look?

It will look like a realistic collage, not a photorealistic render. But it is more than enough to judge scale, color harmony, and proportion in your real space.

What if the furniture photo has a cluttered background?

Canvi's AI handles most backgrounds, though very complex scenes may need a second pass. Clean white or neutral backgrounds from product pages work best.

Can I compare a sofa and a loveseat in the same canvas?

Yes. You can place multiple pieces on the same canvas at the same time and compare them side by side or in relation to each other.

Does this work for outdoor furniture too?

Absolutely. Any object you photograph can be placed on any canvas, including patio furniture placed on a deck photo.

Know If It Fits Before You Buy It

Take a photo of furniture you are considering, even in the store or from a website screenshot. Place it on your room canvas and see whether it actually belongs there.

Why people use it

Avoid costly returns of large furniture items
Test scale and proportion in your real room, not a staged showroom
Compare two or three options side by side in the same canvas
Get a partner or family member to approve before purchasing
Save reference images to bring to a store or share with a salesperson

How it works

Capture the furniture: Photo it in the showroom, use a product image from the website, or take a screenshot. Canvi accepts photos from any source.
Strip the background: Upload the image and Canvi automatically removes the background, isolating just the furniture piece.
Place it in your room: Add a photo of your actual room as the canvas background and drag the furniture cutout into position. Resize it to match real proportions.
Decide with confidence: Export the image to share or reference, then buy knowing it will work in the space.

Use cases

Online furniture orders: Screenshot product images and visualize them in your room before placing an order you might need to reverse.
Showroom shopping: Photograph pieces in the store and compare them at home on your actual room canvas before returning to purchase.
Vintage and secondhand finds: Photograph a piece at an estate sale or marketplace and check whether it fits your home before loading it in the car.
Comparing two options: Place two competing pieces on the same canvas background and see which one works better in your actual space.

Tips

When photographing in a store, try to get the piece from a similar angle to how you view your own room
Use a coin or common object in the frame as a scale reference, then resize accordingly on the canvas
Test the piece against multiple wall colors by swapping the background image
Bring a measuring tape and note the actual dimensions to sanity-check your canvas scaling
Export a before/after image showing your room empty and then with the new piece placed
