01

Why add a pool matters

Homeowners

An in-ground pool is six figures; you want to see it first.

Agents

Homes with pool potential don't show it in photos.

Contractors

Clients sign faster when they can see the finished yard.

02

How it works

From upload to download β€” most renders finish in about a minute.

  1. Upload

    A wide shot of the backyard or existing pool.

  2. Place

    Pick the spot: rectangular lap pool, freeform lagoon, spa.

  3. Render

    Water lands with real reflections and depth cues.

  4. Refine

    Adjust size, coping, deck material, lighting.

  5. Compare

    Flip original vs. rendered to sanity-check scale.

  6. Download

    Export for family votes or contractor chats.

Prompt guide

Do this

  • Say the type: "rectangular lap pool along the fence".
  • Add deck context: "light travertine surround".
  • Shoot wide from an upper floor if possible.

Avoid this

  • Pools bigger than the yard β€” keep scale honest.
  • Night photos; daylight renders pool water best.
  • Asking for waterfalls and grottos in pass one.

β€œAdd a rectangular lap pool along the back fence with a light stone deck.”

β€œUpgrade the existing pool with a dark blue finish and travertine coping.”

β€œFreeform pool with a small spa on the left side; keep the oak tree.”

FAQ

Can it upgrade an existing pool?

Yes β€” new finish, coping, and lighting render on your current pool's shape.

How accurate is the scale?

Renders respect the yard's perspective; always confirm dimensions with a contractor.

Does it include decks and landscaping?

Deck materials and basic landscaping can render alongside the pool.

Can I try multiple placements?

Yes β€” each placement is its own generation; compare side by side.

Is this a construction plan?

No β€” it's visualization. Engineering and permits are for your contractor.

Which photos work best?

Wide daylight shots from an elevated angle show the yard's full shape.
