Why Convert Your Existing Floor Plan?

You likely already have a floor plan somewhere—from your architect, property manager, or building permits. Converting this existing resource into a fire exit map is far faster and easier than starting from scratch.

  • Leverage existing documentation
  • Ensure accuracy based on actual building layout
  • Save time compared to measuring and drawing
  • Maintain consistency with other building documents

Supported Floor Plan Formats

Modern AI converters accept virtually any floor plan format:

  • PDF files (most common from architects)
  • CAD files (DWG, DXF, DWF)
  • Image files (JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP)
  • Scanned documents
  • Smartphone photos of printed plans
  • Photos of hand-drawn sketches
  • Screenshots from property websites

The Conversion Process

Here's what happens when you upload your floor plan:

  • AI analyzes the image using computer vision
  • Walls, doors, and windows are identified
  • Exit doors are detected and marked
  • Optimal evacuation routes are calculated
  • Fire equipment locations are added
  • OSHA-compliant labeling is applied
  • Professional PDF is generated

Tips for Best Results

While AI can handle poor quality inputs, these tips will improve your results:

  • Use the highest resolution available
  • Ensure the entire floor plan is visible
  • Good lighting if photographing a printed plan
  • Include room labels if they exist
  • Indicate the north direction if possible
  • Note any areas that have changed since the plan was made
💡
Pro Tip: Don't worry if your floor plan is imperfect. Upload it and see the results—you can always request revisions.

❓ Key Takeaways & FAQs

What types of floor plans can be converted?

Almost any format: PDF blueprints, CAD files (DWG, DXF), architect drawings, property manager floor plans, hand-drawn sketches, smartphone photos, and even satellite/aerial images.

What if my floor plan is poor quality?

AI converters are trained on various quality inputs. Even rough sketches or faded blueprints can be successfully converted. The AI enhances and interprets the input.

Do I need the original digital file?

No. A photo of a printed floor plan works fine. You can even photograph a sketch on a whiteboard or napkin.
