Room Scanner turns your iPhone or iPad Pro into a floor plan scanner. Walk through a room with LiDAR and get an accurate 2D floor plan and 3D model in minutes — ready to export as PDF, a branded property report, USDZ, or CAD (DXF/SVG) that opens in AutoCAD, Archicad, SketchUp, and Blender. LiDAR scanning requires an iPhone 12 Pro or newer Pro model, or an iPad Pro. On any other iPhone or iPad, build the same floor plan by entering the room's dimensions instead — the plan, the 3D model and every export work exactly the same. Plan Your Space with Room Scanner Whether you are planning a renovation, redesigning your interior, or simply need exact dimensions, Room Scanner captures your room's measurements and turns them into accurate, comprehensive floor plans — no tape measure, no graph paper, no guesswork. Quick and Easy Scanning with LiDAR Experience fast and precise scanning with LiDAR technology. Just point and scan: walls, corners, doors, and windows are captured automatically, with the exact measurements you need for your project. No LiDAR Scanner? Enter the Room Instead Type a room's width and length — rectangle or L-shape — and Room Scanner builds the floor plan for you. Add doors, windows, and furniture, view it in 3D, and export it exactly as you would a scanned room. Generate and Export Detailed Floor Plans and Models Floor plans are generated automatically the moment your scan completes. Export them in the format your project calls for: • PDF floor plan — ready to print or send • Branded property report — your logo, room areas, and photos, ready for clients • USDZ 3D model — opens in Apple Quick Look, Archicad, Blender, and other 3D software • DXF and SVG CAD drawings — for AutoCAD, SketchUp, and other CAD tools Design Your Layout with Furniture Furnish your scanned rooms from the built-in furniture catalog. Place, arrange, and rearrange pieces in your real floor plan, save alternative layouts, and compare them side by side to find the arrangement that truly fits your space. Measure, Annotate, and Style Your Plan Add your own measurements to any part of the plan, attach notes so nothing gets lost between site visit and decision, switch between display styles for a clean architectural look, and work in metric or imperial units. Scan Single Rooms or Complex Structures From cozy bedrooms to multi-room apartments and commercial spaces, Room Scanner handles it all. Scan room after room and assemble them into a complete floor plan of the whole home or building. Built for EPC and RdSAP Surveys Energy assessors can classify every wall as external heat-loss, party, or bordering an unheated space — with the heat-loss perimeter measured live as you work. Export a one-page EPC survey plan with wall types and the floor area calculation, or include the full assessment in your branded property report, ready to back up your RdSAP data entry. Visualize Better with 3D Inspection Step into a new dimension of space planning with 3D inspection. Rotate and explore every corner of your scanned space in detail, and make sure everything is right before you build, buy, or redecorate. Why Choose Room Scanner? Room Scanner is built for homeowners, interior designers, architects, real estate agents, energy assessors, and contractors who need accurate measurements fast. An intuitive interface, precise LiDAR scanning, and versatile export options make it the simplest way to get from an empty room to a finished floor plan. Get Started Today!
