About Vipuri

1. Getting Started

Vipuri is an AI visualization tool for architects and designers. It turns sketches, 3D screenshots, or photos of physical models into photorealistic images — no rendering, no waiting. It preserves the geometry, perspective, and spatial logic of your original input while adding realistic materials, lighting, and textures.

You can upload a sketch — a rough concept or a detailed illustration — a 3D screenshot from any software in any style (wireframe, shaded, or rendered), a photo of a physical model, or a photo of a real building.

The workflow is three steps: upload an image, choose a preset that matches your vision, and download the result. No CAD files, plugins, or installs needed — it's entirely web-based. See the full step-by-step walkthrough.

2. Generating Images

Results vary in precision depending on what you start from. With 3D screenshots, Vipuri is highly precise and preserves your original geometry closely. With rough or loose sketches, it interprets your creative intent rather than reproducing every line exactly — proportions and perspective are preserved, while materials, lighting, and textures are added through AI interpretation. Vipuri is built to understand rough and expressive sketches, even loose or chaotic linework, translating the underlying design intent into a structured, realistic image.

If a result looks different than expected, that's usually the creative interpretation at work, especially with hand-drawn sketches — try generating again for a variation, or use AI-driven editing to refine specific details. You don't need to label your upload either way: Vipuri automatically detects whether it's a sketch or a photo the moment you upload it, briefly showing an "Analyzing image..." step, and adapts its interpretation accordingly.

3. Editing & Refining

After generating an image, you can refine it with AI-driven editing — adjusting materials, lighting, mood, or composition without starting over. AI Assist presents this as a curated menu: pick a category, like lighting, materials, or mood, then select a specific option, and Vipuri applies that change directly to your last generated image. It's a guided menu of tested adjustments rather than a freeform text prompt. See the full walkthrough. Every generated image also supports a before/after comparison view, so you can see exactly what changed.

4. Presets & Styles

Presets are curated styles that guide how Vipuri interprets your image, from warm afternoon light to moody concrete tones. The library includes dozens of architectural and interior styles across a wide range of building types and spaces. If none of them quite fit, you can upload your own reference image to define a custom style, and Vipuri will adapt your input to that aesthetic while keeping your original form and composition intact. Every preset and generated image is saved to your gallery, so you can reload and reuse them later.

5. Video Generation

Once you've generated an image, you can turn it into a short video — from sketch, to photo, to video, within minutes. See the step-by-step guide. Video generation is available on the Pro plan and above; see Billing & Plans below for details.

6. Gallery & Sharing

Every generation you create is saved automatically to your personal gallery, where you can revisit it, reload it into the work area, or reuse it as a starting point for something new. You can also share any individual image or video — including before/after comparisons — via a shareable link. Everything stays private within your own workspace by default; nothing is shared unless you actively choose to share it, which makes Vipuri suitable for NDA-bound projects.

7. Billing, Credits & Plans

Each generation uses credits, and your plan determines how many credits and images you get per month; credits roll over as long as you stay subscribed.

Subscribed users can also purchase additional credit packs — 100 credits for $9.90, 200 credits for $14.90, or 300 credits for $15.90 — and if you run out, you'll simply be prompted to upgrade your plan or buy an extra pack.

8. Privacy & Data

All your images stay private inside your own workspace and are never shared unless you choose to share them, which makes Vipuri suitable for confidential or NDA-protected work.

9. Account & Troubleshooting

If you have trouble signing in, try again or use Google sign-in if that's how you originally created your account — if the issue persists, contact support. Occasional stuck or failed generations can happen during high load; try generating again, and if it continues, contact support with the image and timestamp of the failed attempt. You don't need any special software to use Vipuri — it runs entirely in your browser, including on mobile, so you can sketch on paper, photograph it, and upload it directly.

10. Content Rights & Usage Policy

Before uploading, Vipuri asks you to confirm you hold the necessary rights to any files you upload, and that you won't generate content infringing on third-party rights, in line with the Terms of Service. You'll see a short one-time confirmation step before your first upload.

11. Referral Program

If someone shares a referral link with you, you'll see a one-time gift offer with a set number of credits when you sign in — click "Activate Credits" to claim them. Each promotional link can only be used once, and becomes invalid after activation.
