3 reasons to try before you paint
Avoid a costly repaint over a colour that looks wrong on your actual house.
Win over your partner, the planners or the conservation officer with a real preview, not a tiny tester card.
Skip a pile of tester pots and the test patches on your render.
Quick answer: A paint visualiser lets you preview any paint colour on a real photo of your home before you buy a single tin. FacadeColorizer is a free AI paint visualiser that works on both exterior and interior, applies the colour realistically on your own photo, and needs no app and no sign-up.

What our customers found before they bought
“The bottom photo was my old planning application that got rejected, and the top one was the new submission. The difference is small, but for some councils that tiny shift in tone is what makes the call: they reject pure white and accept cream.”
“The time it saves me means I can knock 10 pounds off every quote, both for regulars and new customers.”
“Cream white is brilliant and the base of the wall is picked up perfectly.”

What is a free paint visualiser?
A free paint visualiser is an online AI tool that lets you upload a photo of your home and preview any paint colour on the actual brick, render or interior wall in about 30 seconds. FacadeColorizer is brand-agnostic, needs no sign-up, and works across Dulux and Farrow & Ball shades, or any custom HEX code.

Use cases are broad. A homeowner picking a Farrow & Ball front door colour can try a few shades back to back without buying three tester pots. A painter and decorator can include a render in every quote so clients say yes faster. An estate agent can show a tired Victorian terrace in a fresh colour before listing to lift kerb appeal. An architect or interior designer can validate a scheme with the client in the meeting, not three weeks later. And a landlord can decide between a neutral cream and a smart muted grey without booking in a contractor first.
A paint visualiser does not replace a tester pot. It speeds up the shortlist. Most people go from a dozen favourites to two finalists in about fifteen minutes, which is the bit that usually takes a fortnight of dithering.

Indoor and outdoor, in one tool
Most UK paint visualisers are stuck indoors. The Dulux Visualiser app is built for interior walls and struggles on brick, pebbledash or render. Crown MyRoom is room-only by design. Farrow & Ball offers a swatch tool with no real-world preview at all. That leaves a gap for anyone wanting to test an exterior colour, which is the single most expensive paint decision a UK homeowner ever makes.
FacadeColorizer covers both. It handles the surfaces that actually exist on UK housing stock: London stock brick, K Rend render, pebbledash, Cotswold limestone, Tudor weatherboard, modern composite cladding, and painted Victorian terrace render. The same tool then covers the whole house inside. Upload a kitchen wall, a hallway, a front door, a rear extension or a complete street-facing facade. The AI handles them all in one tool, in one browser tab, with one upload.
Outdoor
Brick, render, pebbledash, stone, cladding, weatherboard, front doors, window frames, garage doors.
Indoor
Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, feature walls, ceilings, woodwork and skirting.
Test real Dulux and Farrow & Ball shades
Brand-locked visualisers are a sales funnel: they show you their colours, you buy their paint. Our paint visualiser is brand-agnostic. Try genuine Dulux UK and Farrow & Ball shades on the same photo, or drop in any custom HEX code, then pick the tin that suits your budget.

Who uses a paint visualiser in the UK
A paint visualiser is no longer a niche tool. It is used by a broad mix of homeowners, trade and professionals. Here are the typical user profiles.
Homeowners
Testing a front door colour, choosing between a warm Dulux neutral and a Farrow & Ball off-white, planning an exterior repaint for spring, or coordinating a kitchen feature wall with new cabinets.
Painters and decorators
Including a free visualiser render in every quote, helping clients decide on the day, and reducing rework and second visits.
Estate agents and landlords
Pre-listing kerb appeal previews, showing what a tired Victorian terrace could look like in a smart muted grey before the photographer arrives.
Architects and designers
Validating colour schemes in real time during client meetings, presenting options to specifiers, and avoiding the classic two-week feedback loop.
Tested on common UK property types
Our AI was trained on UK housing stock specifically. That matters: a tool trained on US clapboard or German Altbau will misread a London stock brick terrace or a Cotswold limestone cottage. It preserves brick, render and shadow detail on every style below.
Victorian terrace
London stock brick, sash windows, bay fronts. Common in Hackney, Battersea and Bristol.
1930s semi
Pebbledash render, hipped roof, bay windows. The classic suburban semi-detached.
Georgian townhouse
Painted stucco, sash windows, period detail. Bath, Edinburgh New Town, central London.
Cotswold cottage
Honey-coloured limestone, small windows, heritage painted woodwork.
Bungalow
Single-storey render or brick, low roofline. Popular along the coast and in retirement areas.
New-build estate house
K Rend render, composite cladding, contemporary windows on a modern development.
1 free HD render. No sign-up. No card.
Free, no sign-up, no card
The free tier gives you 1 HD render plus 3 free variations. No card, no sign-up, no email gate. You upload, you render, you download. If you only need one colour preview, the free tier is genuinely all you need, we built it that way on purpose.
If you want more renders later, optional paid plans are available as a one-off top-up or a monthly plan for tradespeople running several jobs a week. There is no auto-renewing card you forgot about: secure payment, immediate activation, no commitment.
Why the free tier is a generous trial, not unlimited: capping the free tier at 1 HD render plus 3 variations keeps the tool fast for everyone and stops abuse, without resorting to ads or harvesting your email. It is a deliberate choice so you can try the tool properly before deciding whether you need more.
Privacy and UK GDPR
Your photos belong to you. We process uploads only to generate the render you asked for, and we never sell, share or repurpose your images for training or marketing. You keep full ownership of every image you upload. The service is handled in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Practically, that means:
- You can use the visualiser without creating an account or providing an email address.
- If you do create an account, you can contact us by email to exercise your data rights.
- We use no third-party advertising trackers on this page.
- Your photo is used only to create the preview you asked for, and is never sold.
For the full detail on how we handle your data, see our privacy policy. We would rather be transparent about how processing works than oversell it.
Paint visualiser - frequently asked questions
Is there a free UK paint visualiser?
Yes. FacadeColorizer is a free paint visualiser available in the UK. You can upload a photo and get 1 HD render plus 3 free variations with no sign-up and no card. It works in any modern browser, on mobile or desktop.
Do I need to download an app?
No. There is no app to install. The paint visualiser runs entirely in your browser, so you can use it on iPhone, Android, iPad, laptop or desktop without any download. It also works on Safari and Chrome on older devices.
Can I test exterior paint colours?
Yes. Unlike most UK paint visualisers, FacadeColorizer is built for both exterior and interior. It handles brick, render, pebbledash, stone, cladding and weatherboard, as well as plastered interior walls, where most UK paint visualisers are built for indoor rooms only.
Which paint brands are included?
FacadeColorizer includes real shades from the two UK paint brands homeowners compare most: Dulux UK (such as Chalk White, Pure Brilliant White, Denim Drift, Brave Ground and Sapphire Salute) and Farrow & Ball (such as All White, Wimborne White, Pointing, Elephant's Breath, Hague Blue and Down Pipe). You can also paste any custom HEX code, so high-street ranges are easy to preview too. Test a Dulux shade against a Farrow & Ball shade on the same photo in about 30 seconds.
How accurate is AI paint visualisation?
The AI preserves shadows, textures and lighting from your original photo, so the preview is far more realistic than basic AR overlays. Final on-wall appearance will still vary slightly with substrate, finish (matt, eggshell, silk) and natural light, so we always recommend a tester pot before committing.
Can I save and share my preview?
Yes. Each render can be downloaded as a high-resolution image and shared directly with your decorator, partner or family. You can also keep a side-by-side before-and-after image to compare different colours.
Will the paint colour look the same on my walls?
The preview is a close approximation, not a guarantee. Real-world appearance depends on substrate (brick, render, plaster), finish (matt, eggshell, silk), light direction, time of day and the number of coats. Always buy a tester pot and try a patch in both morning and afternoon light before ordering full tins.
What is the difference between this and the Dulux Visualiser?
The Dulux Visualiser is an AR app limited to Dulux colours and is best suited to indoor rooms. FacadeColorizer is a web-based AI paint visualiser that works on both interior and exterior, lets you compare Dulux and Farrow & Ball shades plus any custom HEX, and runs in any browser without an app download.
