Built by tradesmen and homeowners
The Easy Draft floor plan editor showing a sample plan with walls, fixtures, dimensions, and a layers panel.

That's the real editor — click around. Pick a door to flip its swing, click a wall to change thickness, or use the toolbar to measure or draw.

The Easy Draft editor is built for a desktop or laptop — it isn't usable on a phone. Browse the site here, then open it on a computer to start drawing.

Used by homeowners planning:
The middle ground that didn't exist

You have a clear vision.
Getting it on paper is the hard part.

Hire a draftsman

Hundreds of dollars for preliminary plans — before a permit is pulled or a contractor is even called.

Buy pro CAD software

AutoCAD or Chief Architect: thousands per year and a learning curve measured in months.

Settle for free tools

Either too basic to be useful, or every feature you actually need is locked behind a monthly subscription.

There's no approachable, affordable middle ground for the person who just wants to draw their idea out and see if it works.

Easy Draft is that middle ground.

What's inside

Everything you need to plan a real addition.
Nothing you don't.

Drag-and-drop simple. Built around the few things a residential plan actually has to show.

Walls that snap, square, and cut themselves

Draw a wall and it snaps to the grid. Drop a door or window and the wall cuts to fit — no manual trim, no broken geometry.

  • Snap-to-grid drawing
  • Auto wall openings
  • Interior & exterior walls

Real measurements

Interior, exterior, and centerline dimension options. Real-world feet and inches, not pixel guesses.

Doors, windows & appliances

A library of residential elements ready to drop in — sinks, stoves, fridges, toilets, tubs, vanities, more.

Stairs, counters & built-ins

Place stairs with a click. Run countertops along walls. Sketch islands and built-ins without the pain.

Room labels

Tag every room with a name and square footage. Plans that read clearly to a contractor or inspector.

Permit-ready PDF export

One click and you have a clean, scaled, properly dimensioned PDF — the kind you can hand directly to your contractor or your building department, not just a screenshot.

  • Scaled output
  • Title block included
  • Print at any size
How it works

From blank canvas to permit-ready in an afternoon.

01

Sketch your walls

Click and drag to lay out your floor plan. Walls snap square and to the grid automatically — no measuring on the fly.

02

Drop in the details

Doors, windows, appliances, stairs, counters. Drag them onto walls — Easy Draft cuts the openings for you.

03

Label, dimension, export

Add room labels and dimensions. Hit export. Hand the PDF to your contractor, your inspector, or the building department.

How Easy Draft compares

The honest middle option.

Most homeowners are stuck between four-figure software and free tools that can't actually print a usable plan.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is this really a one-time purchase?

Yes. $39 once. No monthly fee, no annual fee, no expiration. You buy it, you own it, you keep using it. Future updates to the base tool are free.

Will my plans be accepted by my building department?

Easy Draft produces clean, scaled, dimensioned PDFs with a title block — the kind of preliminary residential plan most building departments are happy to receive. Some jurisdictions require a stamped engineered drawing for structural work; Easy Draft is the perfect starting point to take to that engineer instead of paying them to draw it from scratch.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Easy Draft runs entirely in your browser. Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox — they all work. Nothing to download, nothing to update.

Is there a learning curve?

No. If you can drag a file into a folder, you can use Easy Draft. The toolset is intentionally narrow — only the things a residential floor plan actually needs.

What about MEP symbols, elevation views, and material estimates?

Those are coming soon as optional one-time add-ons — an MEP Symbols Pack, an Elevation Views Pack, and a Materials Estimator. They're not required. Most homeowners doing a single addition will never need them. We keep them separate so the base tool stays clean and the cheap stays cheap.

Can I use this for commercial projects?

Easy Draft is purpose-built for residential — additions, renovations, and small new builds. Commercial planning has different code and drawing requirements that pro CAD software handles better.

What if I don't like it?

30-day refund, no questions asked. If Easy Draft isn't the right fit, email us and we'll send your money back.

Stop sketching on graph paper.

Plan your addition the right way — for less than the cost of a permit application.
