AI Roof Swatch Visualizer

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your two photos

   Upload your house exterior photo into EditThisPic first — a straight-on or slight angle shot works best. Then click '+ Add reference photo' and upload the roof shingle swatch or color sample you want to preview. Manufacturer product images, physical swatch photos, or color chip images all work well. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB each.

   Expect: The AI identifies the roof plane geometry in your house photo and maps the swatch color, texture, and material pattern onto it, respecting the pitch and shadow angles.
2. 2

   Describe the shingle type and application

   Tell the AI how to apply the swatch: 'apply this architectural shingle swatch to the full roof, front and visible side sections' or 'replace the existing dark shingles with this cedar shake swatch sample.' Mentioning the shingle style (architectural, three-tab, cedar shake, metal standing seam) helps the AI apply the right texture.

   Tip: Specify both the roof planes you want covered: 'front gable and the two visible roof sections' ensures complete coverage.

   Copy one of these to get started:

   Full roof replacement preview apply the architectural shingle swatch from the reference photo to the entire roof — front gable and all visible roof sections — matching the pitch angle and preserving existing shadow lines under the eaves

   Check shadow and pitch accuracy

   The new roofing material should respect the existing roof pitch and shadow angles. Check that the shingle texture follows the pitch direction and that shadows under eaves look consistent with the house's sun exposure.

   Compare swatch options back to back

   Download the result, then run the same house photo with a different swatch reference to compare roofing options. Roofing contractors often run 3-4 color options for homeowners as part of the estimation process.

   Tip: For contractor proposals, label each result image with the manufacturer name and swatch code before including in the proposal PDF.
