What changes from model to image

Details taken from the cases above. The geometry and framing of your view stay as they are; what gets completed is materials, light, vegetation and people.

Everything is processed on our own platform

CoconutFlow runs on its own AI system, on GPU servers that we operate. Your images are never sent to external AI services or third-party APIs.

  • Our own modelsProcessing runs on our infrastructure and is tuned for architecture and interior design.
  • No external AI APIsYour images don't pass through any other AI provider, so nobody else receives them along the way.
  • Only yoursOnly you see them and they are never used to train models. They are deleted after 30 days, or kept while you have a plan.

What studios say

Architectural visualisation studios and manufacturers already use it in their client projects.

“We’ve been making high-end renders for years, but CoconutFlow gives them that final push that makes the difference. From a 7 to a 10, it’s that simple.”

“When the furniture is yours and the image has to sell, you can’t afford a mediocre render. CoconutFlow gives us the finish that makes the client say: I want it.”
Pablo BonoGrupo Bono · Space design and manufacturing
“Honestly, I didn’t expect the difference to be so big. You upload the render and that’s it, the result is on another level.”
TDV Arquitectura 3DArchitectural visualisation
«We sell wall and floor coverings, so clients need to see the real texture before they decide. With CoconutFlow the renders stop looking like renders — you can see the actual material, and that closes visits on the spot.»

Works with the view from any program

Export a screenshot from SketchUp, Revit, Archicad, Rhino, Blender, 3ds Max, Twinmotion, Lumion, Enscape or D5 Render and upload the image. No plugins and nothing to install.

From model to presentation, without rendering

Capture the view you want to show, process it here and get a client-ready image in minutes. You skip setting up lights and materials, and the machine hours of every view.

Formats and sizes

JPG, PNG, WEBP, TIFF and AVIF. Output goes from the original size up to 10,240 px on the long side. Working views, clay models and basic renders.

Two intents, image by image

You choose what you want for each image, and the app recommends an option when it is clear-cut. The final say is always yours. Is your render already finished and you only want more light and detail? See the AI render enhancer.

  • True to my designYour image is already resolved. It stays as it is; only light, detail and resolution are improved.
  • Process finishesYour image is a model or a working view without defined materials. The finishes are completed until the image is photorealistic.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI sketch to render?

It means turning a working view (a SketchUp screenshot, a clay model or a basic render) into a photorealistic image, without setting up lights or materials and without rendering. In CoconutFlow it is done with the Process finishes option.

Does it work with hand drawings?

That is not what we tuned it for. Process finishes is designed for views of 3D models and basic renders, which already have volumes, perspective and approximate materials.

Will it change my design?

The geometry and framing of your view stay as they are. What gets completed is materials, light, vegetation and people, and small details in those elements can change. If everything has to stay exactly as it is, use True to my design.

Do I have to write a prompt?

No. You upload the image, choose the intent and the size, and the app adjusts everything on its own.

What if my render is already finished?

Choose True to my design: your image stays as it is and only light, detail and resolution are improved. The choice is made image by image.

Does it generate a 3D model?

No. The result is a 2D image of the view you upload, not a 3D file or a drawing.

Is it free?

You get one free 4K image a day, up to 8 a month. After that you pay per image with Coconut packs or a subscription.

Are my images private?

Yes. They are processed on our own platform and never sent to external AI services. Only you see them, they are not used to train models and they are deleted after 30 days, or kept while you have a plan.
