Draw vs Upload Vastu Tools: Which Free Option Fits Your Indian Home?
If you searched upload floor plan vastu check, you probably have a builder brochure and want a quick score. If you are still planning rooms on a blank plot, a draw-your-own tool fits better. This guide compares both approaches — and when Speak Arch’s free Vastu Floor Plan Designer is the better starting point.
Two ways to check Vastu on a floor plan
Upload-and-analyze: Upload JPEG, PNG, or PDF; mark North; get a compliance score. Examples: 360Ghar, Grihafy, VastuCheck.in (paid PDF after preview).
Draw-your-own: Enter plot size, place rooms, see a live nine-zone overlay. Speak Arch’s designer is free, browser-based, no signup.
When upload tools are the right choice
- Fixed layout from a builder (2BHK brochure, society handout)
- Comparing flats before purchase
- Need a score or PDF to discuss with family
Upload tools are weaker on blurry or unlabelled scans — AI may misread room names.
When drawing your own layout is better
- You own a plot and are deciding room sizes
- You want to test kitchen in south-east vs north-west before CAD
- You need feet-based room boxes and a simple 3D preview
Speak Arch does not offer upload-and-score AI. For furniture after layout is fixed, use the Room Layout Planner.

Use it as one input with site visit and structural due diligence — not as the only decision factor.

No. Educational planning aid only. See methodology and disclaimer.
