Tectly review
A focused floor-plan extraction service with APIs, SDKs, and structured exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tectly is an AI-powered floor-plan recognition service for draftsmen, visualizers, construction businesses, trades, and software companies. It processes scans, JPEG, PNG, PDF, DWG, DXF, and hand-drawn plans, then extracts rooms, walls, doors, windows, labels, measurements, and drawing-scale information. The result can be edited in a browser and exported as JSON, CSV, or Excel, making Tectly especially relevant to developer teams embedding plan extraction into another product.
Its strongest advantage is platform and ecosystem fit. Tectly provides REST API access, TypeScript, Python, and PHP SDKs, plus an embeddable web editor widget. That combination supports both direct integration into software and workflows where users need to review or adjust generated geometry in a browser. The service also covers a broad range of input types, from raster images and PDFs to CAD files and hand sketches, while measurement and scale detection add useful structure to the extracted data.
The trade-off is a narrow, paid focus. Tectly is designed around 2D floor-plan recognition, structural extraction, editing, and export rather than a broader 3D visualization workflow. New accounts receive three free floor plans without a credit card, while the ongoing service uses monthly or annual billing. Teams should choose Tectly when they need varied plan-file support, structured outputs, and developer integration options. It is less suitable for buyers primarily seeking 3D floor-plan generation or a permanent free tier.
