Common questions about Rakurs

A consolidated set of answers on how the service works, what it costs, what to upload and which jobs it suits. Step-by-step guides live in the help centre.

What it is and how it works

What is Rakurs?

Rakurs is an online AI interior visualization service. You upload an apartment floor plan or a room photo, pick a style, and in 2–5 minutes you get a photorealistic render of the future interior: furniture, finishes, lighting and decor. No 3D modelling, no learning curve.

How is Rakurs different from classic 3D software?

In Planner 5D, SketchUp or Coohom you build the 3D model by hand: walls, furniture, textures, lighting — that takes hours. In Rakurs the AI generates everything: you upload a plan or a photo and get a finished photorealistic frame straight away.

Which modes does the service support?

Rakurs works in two modes. The first renders an interior from an apartment floor plan (for empty, unfinished or still-under-construction spaces). The second restyles a room photograph while preserving the geometry of the space, its windows and openings (for interiors that already exist).

Which interior styles are available?

The home page shows 24 ready styles: contemporary, loft, premium, Scandinavian, minimalist, art deco, classic European, modern classic, Japandi, Bauhaus, retro modern, Soviet retro, Memphis, dark academia, brutalist, Moroccan, mid-century modern, Provence, Arabic, country, traditional, boho, Japanese and maximalist.

What do I need to upload?

Either an apartment floor plan (a scan, a photo, an export from a planner or a neat hand drawing — what matters is that walls and openings are visible), or a photograph of a room: empty, at bare-shell stage, or already furnished.

How long does one render take?

Usually 2–5 minutes. It depends on the chosen mode, the resolution and the current load on the service.

Pricing and credits

Does Rakurs have a subscription?

No. Rakurs runs on one-off credit packs: you buy the volume you need and use it until it runs out. No recurring charges and no card on file.

How many free credits do new users get?

New users get 30 free credits straight away — enough for 3–4 renders, so you can try the service without paying.

How many credits does one render cost?

A render from an apartment floor plan costs 7 credits. A render from a room photograph costs 8 credits. Refining a finished render with pinned comments also costs 7 credits.

How much do the packs cost?

Mini — 50 credits for 490 ₽. Standard — 250 credits for 1,990 ₽. Maximum — 1,000 credits for 5,990 ₽. The larger the pack, the lower the cost per credit. Prices are shown in US dollars on the English site for reference; the charge itself is made in roubles.

Do purchased credits expire?

No. Purchased credits stay on your balance with no expiry date and are only spent on renders you actually generate.

Use cases

Is Rakurs useful for a homeowner planning a renovation?

Yes — that is the main use case. From a floor plan or a photo of an empty room you can compare several styles and palettes before buying furniture and finishes, and agree on a direction with your family.

Can estate agents use Rakurs for virtual staging?

Yes. From a photo of an empty (or bare-shell) flat you can produce a photorealistic frame of a furnished interior for the listing in minutes — without booking a photographer or a staging team.

Can a designer use Rakurs for client concepts?

Yes. The service lets you assemble several options for different client tastes in minutes and show a before-and-after comparison instead of an abstract moodboard.

Can I refine a finished render?

Yes. Every render has an edit mode: you drop a pin on the object in question, write a comment ("replace the sofa", "add a rug", "remove the picture"), and Rakurs recomputes only the marked areas. You can attach a reference image.

Can I download the result in high resolution?

Yes. A finished render downloads in HD, Full HD or 4K. The 4K upscale costs extra credits.

Technical questions

Do I need to know design or 3D?

No. The service is built for people with no design or 3D-modelling experience: upload a file and pick a ready style.

What are the requirements for a floor plan?

The clearer the walls, door and window openings and room dimensions are, the more accurate the result. A registry scan, an export from a planner or a careful hand drawing all work.

What are the requirements for a room photo?

The shot should be sharp, well lit and wide enough to cover the whole room. The straighter the perspective and the fewer blown highlights, the more accurately the service preserves the geometry of the space.

Can I share the result with a link?

Yes. You can open a public link to the whole project with every room, or assemble a selection of just the renders you choose. The recipient does not need a Rakurs account.
