Renderalo
Renderalo turns a photograph of a real space, or a hand-drawn sketch, into a photorealistic architectural render in seconds. Built for architects, interior designers and estate agencies, it charges €0.60 per image with no subscription and no credit packs.
What is Renderalo?
Renderalo is a browser-based architectural visualisation tool that converts an ordinary photograph or a hand-drawn sketch into a photorealistic render. It is published by La Gente de Tom S.L.U., a communications and design agency registered in Sant Cugat del Vallès, near Barcelona, in 2012. The Renderalo domain itself was only registered on 2 June 2026, so the product is a great deal younger than the company behind it.
The tool opens on four working profiles, each driving a different generation behaviour. Interior designer restyles an existing room while explicitly preserving the architecture: room dimensions, walls, the position and size of windows and doors, ceiling height and structural layout all stay untouched, and only finishes, furniture and light change. Architect carries a sketch or a plan through to a finished photorealistic view. Real estate furnishes empty flats in batches, several photographs at a time, with a single ZIP download. Floor plan turns a hand drawing into a presentation plan in one of three finishes: realistic 3D, watercolour or technical.
Styling works two ways. Either you steer it, through twelve style families broken into thirty-seven sub-styles that run from Japandi and Cycladic Greek to Bauhaus, Palm Springs and brutalism, or you upload a reference image and let the model lift its style and apply it to your own space. Around that sit seven focal lengths, from a 16 mm ultra-wide to an 85 mm telephoto plus tilt-shift, along with sixteen materials, fourteen room types, five times of day, six viewpoints, depth of field, human presence and seven vegetation settings.
Every result can be reworked in a built-in editor by brushing, typing or annotating directly on the image, or simply by describing the change in words. Each pass counts as an edit. A render can also be reused as a new base, or re-rolled as a fresh variation.
Commercially the product is unusual. There is no subscription and no credit system: each image carries a price in euros shown before you generate it, drawn from a prepaid balance. A render costs €0.60, an edit €0.30, and a generation that fails is never charged. The interface runs in ten languages, although the legal documentation exists in Spanish only.

When to use Renderalo / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if Renderalo is the right fit.
When to use Renderalo
- Architects who want to take a sketch or a plan through to a photorealistic view without waiting on an outside visualiser
- Interior designers restyling a room that already exists, where walls, windows and perspective must survive the makeover untouched
- Estate agencies staging empty flats for listings, several photographs at a time, with a single ZIP download
- Professionals with no 3D skills at all, since the tool advertises itself as having no learning curve
- Occasional or irregular users, who pay nothing in the months they generate nothing
When not to use Renderalo
- Anyone needing measured, to-scale drawings or construction documentation, which the terms explicitly exclude
- Teams wanting to plug rendering into their own software, as there is no API and no integrations of any kind
- Users who work from a phone or tablet app, since the product is web-only
- Buyers who need a predictable monthly licence fee, because no subscription exists
- Organisations requiring a signed data processing agreement or a written no-training commitment, neither of which is published
How to use Renderalo
A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.
- Create an account from the homepage with Google, with an email and password, or with a magic link; no card is asked for and no confirmation email is sent
- Pick your working profile: architect, interior designer, real estate or floor plan
- Choose the output you want: exterior and facade, interior, or plan converted to a 3D view
- Upload your base image, either one photograph or several at once for batch work
- Set the style, either through the guided controls or by uploading a reference image to copy the look from
- Refine the guided settings: sub-style, room type, time of day, style intensity, materials, lens, viewpoint, depth of field, people and vegetation
- Add free-text instructions if you want, using the shortcuts for evening light, daylight, natural materials, exterior view or minimal furniture
- Generate, then download the result as a PNG, re-roll a variation, or reuse it as a new base
- Open the editor to brush, write or annotate over the image and apply the change, which is billed as an edit
- For real estate work, configure the watermark once, then download a whole batch as a ZIP
Pros & Cons
Pros
- The price of each image is shown in euros before you generate it, with no credits or packs to decode
- No subscription at all, so the cost falls to zero in months you do not use it
- A failed render is never charged and retries after a failure are free
- Three renders and five edits to try it, with no card required
- Editing costs half what a render costs, which makes iteration cheap
- An unusually deep set of photographic and stylistic controls for a tool aimed at non-specialists
- Prepaid balance survives twelve months of inactivity, and any unused balance can be refunded on request
Cons
- No API, no integrations and no mobile app: the web application is the whole product
- Legal and privacy documents exist in Spanish only, while the interface is offered in ten languages
- The legal page still carries an unremoved drafting note and a registration field left as a placeholder
- Nothing at all is said about whether uploaded images and prompts are used to train models
- No hosting country or region is disclosed, and no data processing agreement is published
- A €10 minimum top-up sits awkwardly against a €0.60 unit price, and spent balance is not refundable
- The publisher is very small and the parent company website is a parked domain that does not answer over HTTPS
Pricing & Plans
There is no permanent free plan. New accounts receive a one-off allowance of three renders and five edits, granted on sign-up without a payment card and extendable through promotional codes; once that allowance is exhausted, all further use is chargeable. The service operates on a prepaid balance with no subscription of any kind. The lowest published price point is EUR 0.60 per render, with an edit of an already generated image costing EUR 0.30. Balance is bought in advance, with a minimum top-up of EUR 10.00 and suggested amounts of EUR 10, EUR 25, EUR 50 and EUR 100, or any custom sum. A render that fails is not charged and retries are free. Balance does not expire through twelve months of inactivity, and unused balance may be refunded on request, whereas balance already consumed may not.

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Renderalo handles your data.
GDPR overview
The GDPR section is concrete rather than boilerplate. It names the controller in full, with company name, tax number, postal address and an email address. It sets out what is processed and why, table fashion: account email, uploaded images and prompts, generated renders, usage data and payment data. It states the legal bases relied on — performance of the contract, legal obligation for invoicing, and legitimate interest for security and abuse prevention. It lists five processors by name: Supabase, Google Gemini, Stripe, Brevo and Netlify. Access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction and portability are all enumerated, exercisable by email, and the Spanish supervisory authority is named. What is missing: no data protection officer, no processing agreement offered, no hosting location, and no explicit claim of compliance anywhere.
Who owns the data?
The terms state plainly that the images you generate are yours to use, and no clause anywhere transfers rights over them to the publisher. You keep responsibility for the source material you upload and must hold the rights to use it. Renderalo may store your results in a private gallery so you can consult them later, and the site states that only you can see that gallery. Beyond storing and displaying your own work back to you, the published documents claim no further use of your images. The one exception is operational: the images and prompts you supply are passed to the AI provider in order to produce the render.
Reuse rights
Nothing in the terms requires you to ask permission before reusing what you generate: the images are described as being for your use, with no stated restriction on commercial exploitation. Two obligations sit alongside that freedom. You must have the right to use whatever you upload, and you remain answerable for how you use the output. Where a render is published as advertising, notably in virtual home staging, the terms require you to say it is a virtual image or recreation, in line with portal rules and advertising law. For the real estate profile the tool enforces this itself: an AI notice and a "Hecho con renderalo.com" signature are permanently embedded in every image and cannot be removed, even where a custom watermark is configured.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
No hosting country or region is disclosed anywhere on the site. The privacy policy names five processors without saying where any of them operate: Supabase for authentication, database and image storage, Netlify for website hosting, Google Gemini for the AI processing of images and prompts, Stripe for payments and Brevo for email. Two technical signals exist but neither is a hosting statement and neither should be read as one. The site's analytics client points at a European PostHog instance, which describes the analytics tool rather than the product. The domain's A record resolves to an AWS Global Accelerator node flagged as anycast, which reveals an edge location, not where data comes to rest. There is no mention of standard contractual clauses and no mention of transfers outside the European Economic Area. Since the controller is established in Spain and subject to the GDPR, EU rules apply regardless, but the practical question of where images are stored is left unanswered.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Renderalo.
- The legal page still shows an unremoved drafting note stating that it is a base document prepared for launch and awaiting review by a legal adviser, with the commercial registry field left as a placeholder
- PostHog analytics is loaded on the homepage but does not appear in the list of processors published in the privacy policy, which names only Supabase, Google Gemini, Stripe, Brevo and Netlify
- The cookie policy claims only strictly necessary technical cookies are used, while a third-party analytics tool is in fact loaded, albeit disabled by default and behind a consent banner
- At the commercial registry the publisher's stated business is advertising and communications, not software; identity is otherwise fully consistent, so this is worth flagging rather than concluding anything from
- The company dates from 2012 but the product from June 2026: the incorporation date says nothing about how long the tool has existed or how proven it is
- The only published contact address sits on lagentedetom.com, a parked domain that does not answer over HTTPS, so support depends entirely on a single mailbox
- Outputs are explicitly not technical documentation, and using them in listings carries a legal duty to disclose that the image is a virtual recreation
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Essentially none. There is nothing to install and nothing to configure: the application runs in the browser from the homepage. An account is created instantly through Google, an email and password, or a magic link, with no confirmation email and no payment card. No 3D skills are required, and the site presents the whole workflow in three steps, claiming no learning curve. The only optional setup is the watermark for real estate images, which accepts a text line and a transparent PNG logo of at least 600 pixels wide and under 3 MB.

Should you pick Renderalo?
Renderalo is a narrow tool that knows exactly what it is for. It does one thing, architectural visualisation from a photograph or a sketch, and it wraps that in an unusually honest commercial model: no subscription, no credits, a price in euros displayed before you press the button, and nothing charged when a generation fails. For an architect testing an idea, an interior designer restyling a room that must keep its walls, or an agency staging a dozen empty flats before a listing goes live, the value is immediate and the maths are easy to do in advance.
What surprises is the depth beneath a deliberately simple surface. Thirty-seven sub-styles, seven lenses including tilt-shift, sixteen materials and controls for light, viewpoint and vegetation add up to far more direction than most one-click generators offer, and the built-in editor makes iteration cheap at half the price of a render.
The reservations are about maturity rather than capability. The company behind it was registered in 2012, but Renderalo itself only appeared in June 2026, and it shows: the legal page still carries a drafting note its author forgot to delete, and a registration field left as [completar]. Legal documents exist only in Spanish although the interface speaks ten languages. Nothing is said about where data is hosted, nothing at all about whether your images train the models, and there is no processing agreement to sign. An analytics tool is loaded that the published processor list does not mention.
None of that is disqualifying for a freelancer or a small studio paying by the image. It is a genuine obstacle for an organisation with a procurement checklist. Judge it as what it is: a sharp, fairly priced, very young tool from a very small publisher.
