Start with an outdoor space or existing pool photo. Choose a mode, pool type or remodel focus, style, and features before generating.
Step 01
Use a wide photo, sketch, or early render. Show nearby structures, boundaries, access, major trees, and either the open site or existing pool area.
Step 02
For a new pool, choose its shape or use type. For an existing pool, choose the main remodel focus. Then set the visual style and optional features separately.
Step 03
Describe the pool shape, deck, planting, seating, privacy, shade, or lighting you want. Note the house, fences, trees, pool edges, or paths that should stay recognizable.
Step 04
Generate 1-4 early pool concepts from the same photo. Compare options for your own planning, a family discussion, or an initial review with a pool professional.
Explore a new swimming pool in an outdoor photo or redesign an existing pool area. Guide the style, surrounding landscape, and features that should stay recognizable.
