HCHomeCompose

Frequently asked questions

What HomeCompose does, what it needs from you, and what it leaves untouched.

How does HomeCompose work?

Upload a photo of the space, choose what you want to redesign, then pick a style and a colour palette. You get a redesigned version of the same space, shown next to the original so you can compare them directly.

What kind of photo works best?

One well-lit shot that shows the whole space from a straight-on angle. JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC files up to 10 MB are accepted. Sharp, evenly lit photos give the most reliable results.

Does it change the room itself?

That is up to you: Interior Design has four levels of change. Light Touch only adds a few small accents. Structural Preservation refreshes the furniture, textiles, lighting and finishes. Bold Interior also redoes the flooring, wall finishes and built-in joinery. Full Makeover goes furthest and redesigns the ceiling, doors and wall colours too. In every mode the walls, columns, windows and floor plan stay where they are and the camera angle stays the same, so before and after always line up.

How many designs can I generate?

Every new account gets 30 free credits, enough for 3 designs (free designs carry a watermark). Each paid plan adds a set number of credits every week or month.

Which spaces can I redesign?

Interiors from kitchens and bedrooms to offices, shops, restaurants and hotel rooms, plus building facades, gardens, patios and terraces. Focused tools let you rearrange the layout, repaint surfaces, restyle floors, change the sky, and change the color or material of single objects.

Which tools are there, and what does each one do?

What happens to my photos?

They are stored in your own private workspace and are used only to generate your designs. Deleting a project only removes the folder; its photos and designs stay in your gallery. Deleting a photo from the gallery also removes the designs and videos made from it.
