Screenshot to Render

Turn a BIM or CAD screenshot into a render

Take a clean screenshot from Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, Archicad, AutoCAD, or another design tool, upload it to Rendervi, and render it with a template or prompt. If the screenshot is small, upscale it first for a cleaner result.

Best source

The screenshot carries the design

A good screenshot already defines the camera, massing, and major decisions. Rendervi uses that image as the base, then improves materials, light, atmosphere, and presentation quality.

Use the camera and composition already set in your BIM or CAD tool.

Upscale first when the screenshot is small or soft.

Apply a template or short prompt to turn the screenshot into a presentation render.

Workflow

From screen capture to presentation render

Start with a clean view and avoid tiny screenshots. The better the source image, the easier it is to keep the render controlled.
