How it works

  1. Upload your backyard photo

    Drop a photo of your backyard into EditThisPic. Best results come from shots taken from the yard looking back at the house, showing where the deck would connect. Include the back door area and surrounding yard. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple single-level deck: 25-35 seconds. Multi-level or complex features: may need 1-2 refinements.
  2. Describe the deck you want

    Type your instruction: 'add a composite deck in dark walnut extending from the back door with white cable railing' or 'build a two-tier cedar deck with steps down to the yard.' Specify the material, color, railing style, and size for best results. No marking needed — the AI understands the layout from your photo.

    Tip: Mentioning the connection point — 'extending from the sliding glass door' — tells the AI exactly where the deck should attach to the house.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Standard composite deck add a 16x20 Trex composite deck in dark walnut color extending from the back door with white vinyl railing and steps down to the yard
    Multi-level deck with seating build a two-tier cedar deck with an upper level attached to the house and lower level 3 steps down, natural wood finish, cable railing, and built-in bench seating along the perimeter
    Ground-level floating deck add a ground-level floating deck platform in gray composite boards in the flat area of the backyard, no railing, simple rectangular shape
    Natural cedar with cable railing add a raised cedar wood deck with natural unstained finish, horizontal cable railing with wood posts, and wide stairs leading down to the lawn
    3 more prompts
    Wraparound deck add a wraparound composite deck that extends from the back door along both sides of the house, dark gray decking with black aluminum railing
    Rooftop or elevated deck add a raised deck on tall posts at second-story level extending from the upper back door, composite decking in warm brown with glass panel railing
    Deck with built-in fire pit add a large composite deck in charcoal gray with a sunken fire pit area in the center, surrounded by built-in seating, steps down from the back door
  3. Review the visualization

    Check that the deck connects properly to the house, the material and railing look right, and the scale fits your yard. Use the before/after slider to compare the original backyard.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark where I want the deck before describing the design?

No! Just describe the deck: 'add a composite deck extending from the back door.' The AI understands your backyard layout and places the deck appropriately.

Can I compare different deck materials on the same backyard photo?

Yes. Upload your backyard photo once, then run separate edits — 'Trex composite in dark walnut,' then 'natural cedar,' then 'pressure-treated pine.' Each generates a new preview so you can compare materials and costs side by side.

Is there a free deck visualizer that doesn't require login?

Yes. EditThisPic is free to try with no account needed. Upload your backyard photo, describe the deck, and get a realistic preview in 30 seconds. One free edit per week, credit packs from $1.99 for comparing multiple designs.

What deck styles and materials can the AI visualize?

Composite (Trex, TimberTech), cedar, redwood, pressure-treated pine, IPE hardwood, and more. Single-level, multi-level, floating, wraparound, and elevated designs. Specify the material, color, railing, and layout for accurate results.

Can I add features like built-in seating or a fire pit to the deck design?

Yes. Include features in your description: 'composite deck with built-in bench seating along the railing and a sunken gas fire pit in the center.' The AI handles multi-element designs when you describe them clearly.

Does it work for sloped or uneven backyards?

Yes. The AI reads the terrain from your photo and can build elevated, stepped, or multi-level designs that account for slopes. Mention the slope: 'raised deck on posts to account for the sloped yard.'

Can deck builders use this for client presentations?

Absolutely. Upload the client's backyard photo and generate multiple design options during the consultation. It's faster than 3D modeling software and gives homeowners a tangible preview that helps close $10K-$30K projects.

Can I visualize deck designs on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, tablet. Walk into your backyard, snap a photo, and preview deck designs on the spot. No app download needed.

You get 1 free edit per week — no account needed. After that, credit packs start at $1.99 for 3 edits. Monthly plans start at $4.99/mo for 20 edits with unused credits rolling over. All edits are full resolution with no watermark.
