# A landscape design app that starts with a photo

> AI Landscape Designer is a landscape design app that runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install. Upload a photo of your yard, describe the design and get up to 4 photorealistic options from Nano Banana 2 for 20 credits each, or a concept image from Seedream 4.5 for 10. It makes pictures rather than measured plans, and it is not sold in app stores.

No download and no drawing tools. Open the site on your phone in the yard, take a photo, type what you want, and see the design while you are still standing there.

## What makes it a practical landscape design app

- **Use it where the yard is**: The site works in your phone's browser, so you can photograph the yard and try ideas on the spot, then look again on a bigger screen.
- **Words instead of drag-and-drop**: You do not place plant icons on a grid. You describe the result, and the model draws it into your photo.
- **One account on every device**: Designs are saved to your account's history, so a design made on the phone is there on the laptop when you sign in.
- **Compare 4 layouts at once**: Generate several options in one run and keep the one the household agrees on. Each option is priced as one image.

## How to use the landscape design app

1. **Open the site on your phone**: Open it in your phone's browser and look around. Create a free account with your email when you are ready to generate.
2. **Photograph and describe**: Upload a photo from your camera roll, then describe the planting, paths, patio or lighting you want.
3. **Review and share**: Compare the options, download the one you like and send it to whoever is helping with the project.

## A photo-based app or a plan-drawing app?

Most landscape design apps fall into two groups. Plan-drawing apps let you lay out beds, paths and plants on a measured site plan, and some produce plant lists and quantities. Photo-based apps, like this one, show how a design would look in a picture of your actual yard.

They answer different questions. A photo redesign answers “will we like it?” in one sitting; a measured plan answers “will it fit, and what do we need to buy?” Many people use a photo redesign first to agree on a style, then draw the plan or hire someone to.


## What this app does not do

Honest limits help you decide whether it fits your project:

- No measured site plans, dimensions or plant quantities
- No hardiness, soil, sun or drainage checks
- No offline mode; generation needs an internet connection
- No native iPhone or Android app; it runs in the browser
- No 3D walk-through; each design is a still image

## Tips for yard photos taken on a phone

The photo decides how good the redesign can be. A few habits help:

- Use the main camera rather than the ultra-wide lens, so edges stay straight.
- Hold the phone level at eye height, turned sideways.
- Shoot in soft daylight or overcast weather, not into the sun.
- Include the whole area you want changed, plus a little of the house.
- Take a second photo from another corner to try another view.

## Landscape design app FAQ

### Is there an iPhone or Android app?

No. AI Landscape Designer runs in the browser on iPhone, Android, tablets and computers, so there is nothing to download from an app store. You can add the site to your home screen like any website.

### Do my designs sync between phone and computer?

Yes. Designs are saved to your account's history, so they appear on any device where you sign in with the same email address.

### Does the app work offline?

No. Each design is generated by an image model on remote servers, so you need an internet connection to upload a photo and generate.

### Can I get a measured plan with dimensions?

No. The app makes photorealistic pictures, not drawings to scale. Use it to choose a style, then take measurements or work with a designer for the build.

### How much does the app cost?

Signing up is free. Each photo redesign uses 20 credits and each concept image 10; credits come from packs, from $4.99, or monthly plans. New accounts get no free credits.
