SimpleDraw outputs plain black and white 2D floor plans to PNG.
But it's amazing what you can do with ChatGPT these days using that images as a base. If you ask it to preserve geometry faithfully it usually does a pretty good job with that.
Over the last year, SimpleDraw has been used by more than 86,000 users, in an incredible 225 countries and territories around the world.
Support for non-Latin text is well overdue. Now we've finally delivered!

New "Images" feature in SimpleDraw...

Took a bit longer than I'd hoped, but "Floorplan Mode" is now live!
Along with substantially improved systems for measurements, precision and alignment.
Blog post and video coming in the next day or two.
