Three Ways to Create
Qwikrender gives you three powerful interfaces for different workflows:
1. Apps — Quick, No-Prompt Tools
Browse our 24 specialized AI apps at Apps. Each app is purpose-built for a specific task:
- Sketch to Render — Transform hand drawings into photorealistic images
- Render to CAD — Generate floor plans, elevations, and sections
- Change Texture — Replace interior materials and textures
- Render Upscale — Enhance resolution up to 8x
- And 20 more...
Just upload your image and hit generate — no prompt needed.
2. Chat Interface — Iterative Design
The Render page gives you a conversational AI experience:
- Chat naturally with AI to refine your vision
- Upload sketches and reference images
- Iterate on designs with version control
- Reference previous renders with @mentions (@v1, @v2, @latest)
Perfect for exploring ideas and refining concepts through conversation.
3. Canvas — Node-Based Workflows
For complex, multi-step pipelines, use the Canvas:
- Visual node-based editor
- Chain multiple AI operations together
- Create reusable workflows
- Automate batch processing
Ideal for production workflows and advanced users.
Your First Render
The fastest way to start:
- Go to Apps
- Pick a tool like Sketch to Render
- Upload your image
- Hit Generate
That's it — no prompt required for most apps.
