Front Door Visualizer: See a New Front Door on Your House

Free sign-up with email or Google. You get 1 free render; free renders are watermarked.

Upload a photo of the front of your house and try a new entry door in the same opening: a craftsman door with small top panes, a modern glass door, a classic six-panel door, in stained wood or a painted color. Below are two before and after examples, with what the AI got wrong in each.

Before and after examples

Example images are AI-generated: both the sample houses and their redesigns. Results change from render to render, so treat them as concepts, not exact product matches.

AI-drawn stand-in of a one-story tan-sided ranch house with a plain flat white front door — Example 1 (prompt 1 below; the before is an AI-drawn stand-in house, not a real photo): the plain white door became a stained medium-brown wood craftsman door with a row of small glass panes across the top, in the same opening. The tan siding, the white trim, the porch, the steps, the windows and the roof stayed. We did not see an unrequested change at this size, but the model redraws the whole picture, so small differences are possible. We ran the request once.

The same house with a stained medium-brown wood craftsman front door with small glass panes across the top; the tan siding — Example 1 (prompt 1 below; the before is an AI-drawn stand-in house, not a real photo): the plain white door became a stained medium-brown wood craftsman door with a row of small glass panes across the top, in the same opening. The tan siding, the white trim, the porch, the steps, the windows and the roof stayed. We did not see an unrequested change at this size, but the model redraws the whole picture, so small differences are possible. We ran the request once.

AI-drawn stand-in of a two-story white-sided colonial house with black shutters — Example 2 (prompt 2 below; the before is an AI-drawn stand-in house, not a real photo): the brown six-panel door became a black door, the glass sidelights beside it stayed, and so did the white siding, the black shutters and the brick steps. What it got wrong: we asked for one tall full-length glass panel, but the glass covers only the upper half of the door, with a solid panel below. We ran the request once.

The same house with a black front door with a glass panel in its upper half; the sidelights, the white siding — Example 2 (prompt 2 below; the before is an AI-drawn stand-in house, not a real photo): the brown six-panel door became a black door, the glass sidelights beside it stayed, and so did the white siding, the black shutters and the brick steps. What it got wrong: we asked for one tall full-length glass panel, but the glass covers only the upper half of the door, with a solid panel below. We ran the request once.

What the AI can and cannot do

It can redraw the door on your photo with the style, the glass and the color you describe, while you ask it to keep the siding, the trim, the steps and the windows. That lets you compare a few doors on your own house.

It cannot show a real maker's model, measure your opening or give you a price. It may also ignore part of the request, as Example 2 shows. Adding sidelights or a transom is the hardest change for it, because the opening itself changes.

Front door styles to try

These are the style names the door makers and visualizers we read use. Type them into the prompt as they are.

Style	What it looks like	Often seen on
Craftsman	A row of small glass panes across the top, often over flat panels, often stained wood	Craftsman bungalows, ranches
Six-panel	Six raised panels, no glass	Colonials and traditional homes
Shaker	Flat recessed panels with plain square edges	Farmhouses, transitional homes
Flush or modern	A smooth flat slab, sometimes with a narrow glass strip	Modern and mid-century homes
Full-lite	Glass over almost the whole door	Modern homes that want light in the hall
Dutch	Split across the middle, so the top half opens on its own	Cottages and farmhouses

Add-ons: sidelights (narrow glass panels beside the door) and a transom (glass above it). Materials: fiberglass, steel or wood.

How to try it on your house

Photograph the entry in daylight from the street or the walk, with the whole door, its trim and the steps in the frame.
Upload it in the tool at the top of this page and name the style, the glass, the material look and the color. Add "in the same opening and the same size", as our prompts do.
Say what stays: the siding, the trim, the steps, the shutters and the windows.
Check the door closely. If the glass or the panels are not what you asked for, run it again and describe that part in more words.

The exact prompts behind the examples

These are the edit prompts, word for word. Change the door style, the glass, the color and the list of what stays to suit your house.

Prompt 1: tan ranch, white flat door to a stained craftsman door

Replace only the front door with a stained medium-brown wood craftsman-style door with three small glass panes across the top, in the same opening and the same size. Keep the tan siding, the white trim, the porch, the steps, the windows, the roof, the lawn and the camera angle exactly the same

Prompt 2: white colonial, brown six-panel door to a black glass door

Replace only the front door with a modern black door with one tall full-length glass panel, in the same opening and the same size. Keep the white siding, the black shutters, the brick steps, the windows, the roof, the lawn and the camera angle exactly the same

Before you buy a front door

Measure, or have it measured. A new door that keeps the same opening is the simpler job. Adding sidelights or a transom means changing the frame.
Think about privacy. A full-glass door lets people see into the hall; frosted or textured glass is an option.
Match the house. The door is the center of the front; look at it next to the trim and shutters. See our front door colors and shutter colors pages.

Frequently asked questions

Can I see a new front door on a photo of my house?

Yes. Upload a daytime photo of the front of your house in the tool on this page, describe the door style, the material look and the color, and list what must stay the same. The result is a picture of the idea, not a product or a quote.

What front door styles can I try?

The door makers and visualizers we read use names such as craftsman, six-panel, shaker, flush, full-lite (all glass), French, Dutch and pivot. Craftsman doors usually have a row of small glass panes at the top. You can type any of these into the prompt.

Can it add sidelights or a transom?

You can ask, but this is where AI tools struggle most. Sidelights (Therma-Tru spells them "sidelites") are the narrow glass panels beside a door, and a transom is the glass above it. Adding them changes the size of the opening, and other AI door tools warn that these may need several tries. Keep the opening the same for the most reliable result.

Will it show a real door model and price?

No. The AI draws a door from your words. It does not know any maker's catalog and it does not measure your opening. As one example of real prices, doors.com listed a Therma-Tru craftsman door with sidelites from $6,595 when we checked. Get a quote from a dealer for your own door.

Fiberglass, steel or wood: can I see the difference?

Only roughly. The AI can draw a wood-grain or a smooth painted look, but a stained fiberglass door and a real wood door can look the same in a picture. Choose the look here, then compare the materials in a showroom.

I only want to paint my door. Is there a page for that?

Yes. If you are keeping your door and only changing its color, see our front door colors page, which covers paint colors for different houses.

Is this tool free, and do I need an account?

Signing up is free and gives you 1 free render. Free renders carry an AiExterior watermark. You need to sign in with an email code or your Google account before a render starts. If you want more renders or clean images, paid plans are on the pricing page.
