Free sign-up with email or Google. Free renders are watermarked. Paid plans on the pricing page remove the watermark.

Most people looking for a home exterior design app want to take a photo of their house and see it in new colors. AiExterior is a website, not an app from the App Store or Google Play. Open it in the browser on your phone or computer, upload a photo of your house below, and see the result.

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 generic stand-in of a two-story house with light gray siding, white trim, dark shutters and a front porchBefore
The same house with slate blue siding; white trim, dark shutters, porch and roof keptAfter
Example 1 (prompt 1 below; the before is an AI-drawn generic stand-in house, not a real photo): the siding on both floors is now slate blue. The white trim, the dark shutters, the porch, the door and the roof stayed. We saw no unrequested changes.
AI-drawn generic stand-in of a one-story ranch house with red brick walls, a brown roof, a brown front door and two shrubsBefore
The same house with white painted brick and a black front door; roof, shrubs and lawn keptAfter
Example 2 (prompt 2 below; the before is an AI-drawn generic stand-in house, not a real photo): the brick is now white and the front door is black. The white looks patchy, like whitewashed brick, which is common when the model paints textured brick, so check it closely. The roof, the windows, the shrubs and the lawn stayed.

What the AI can and cannot do

It can work in a phone browser: take a photo of your house, upload it and name the colors and the parts to change. You see a picture of the idea, with the roof and windows kept when you name them.

It cannot replace an app you install, measure your house, or give a materials list or a quote. It is also not a paint match: a result is a picture of an idea, not a color chip.

Why a browser tool and not an app

There is nothing to install and nothing to update. You open the page, upload a photo from your phone and get the result on the same screen. If you want a phone shortcut, add the page to your home screen from your browser menu.

Two color ideas to try

The examples were run directly on an image model, not through the tool above, so your results will look different.

  • Gray siding to slate blue. Example 1 changes only the siding and keeps the white trim and the porch.
  • White brick and a black door. Example 2 paints the brick white and the door black. The brick came out patchy.

How to try it on your house

  1. Photograph the front in daylight, straight on, from far enough back that the whole front, the roof and the gate or driveway fit in the frame.
  2. Upload it in the tool at the top of this page, or open the exterior designer, and name what you want changed and the parts it goes on.
  3. Say what stays. List the parts you are keeping, such as the roof, the windows and the camera angle, as the prompts below do.
  4. Check the whole image. Look at the door, the trim and the edges of the roof, since the model sometimes changes a part you did not name, and run it again if something is off.

The exact prompts behind the examples

These are the edit prompts used for the examples, word for word. The examples were run directly on an image model, not through the tool above, so your results will look different. Change the colors and the list of what stays to suit your house.

Prompt 1: gray siding to slate blue

Repaint ONLY the siding a muted slate blue. Keep the white trim and the porch. Keep everything else unchanged: the roof, every window position, the sky and the camera angle.

Prompt 2: brick painted white with a black door

Paint the brick white and paint the front door black. Keep everything else unchanged: the roof, every window position, the sky and the camera angle.

Who this is for

Owners who want a quick look at new colors from their phone before they paint, and anyone comparing home exterior design apps who prefers not to install one.
