Arkia is an AI architectural visualization studio. It generates photorealistic renders, crowd-filled scenes, construction-execution views and before/after comparisons from purpose-built templates, and animates them into short video clips, so architects and design teams get production-ready output without prompt engineering.

Practicing architects, interior designers, real estate professionals and archviz teams who need repeatable, production-ready renders for client presentations, planning submissions and marketing material.

How is Arkia different from Midjourney, Krea or Veras?

Midjourney and Krea are generic image models that require custom prompts for every render. Veras and similar tools focus on single-shot rendering from a 3D viewport. Arkia ships production templates — crowds, execution views, twilight, virtual staging, sky replacement — that encode the expertise for each architectural use case, inside a team workspace.

Can Arkia make videos?

Yes. Animate turns any image into a short clip, or goes from a start frame to an end frame and transforms one into the other. Pick a camera move (orbit, push in, pull out, rise) and a scene (subtle life, day to night), or describe the motion in your own words. Draft gives a fast 768p preview on every plan, including Free; Standard (768p or 1080p) and Final (1080p, up to 30 seconds) come with a paid plan. Video is billed in credits per second of clip.

Is there a free plan and how much does Arkia cost?

Arkia is free forever: 200 bonus credits the day you sign up, then 75 free credits every Monday — fungible across models, so one week can be five Nano Banana Flash previews, two Nano Banana Pro renders, or a single 4K hero shot. Paid subscriptions start at $15 per month (Explorer, 2,000 credits ≈ 75 images), with Creator at $49 (5,000 credits ≈ 225 images) and Studio at $149 per month (14,000 credits ≈ 820 images). All plans include a commercial license and credits never expire.

How fast can I iterate on a render?

Renders return within minutes, scaling with the model and resolution (2K is faster than 4K, Nano Banana Flash is faster than Nano Banana Pro). Because templates encode the expertise for each use case, first drafts are usable without prompt engineering — iterations are visual, not verbal.

Which file formats are supported for input and export?

Inputs: JPG, PNG, WebP and TIFF for 2D images. Exports: PNG and JPG at up to 4K out of the box, and MP4 at up to 1080p for videos.

Is my data used to train models?

Your uploads and generated images are not used to train shared or foundation models. Fully anonymized data may be used internally to monitor quality — details are in the Privacy policy. Projects are private by default, deletable anytime, encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256).

Do you offer team seats?

Yes, on the Studio tier: an organization with unlimited team seats, invite-only membership, a shared team wallet with per-member spending caps, and centralized billing. For larger deployments or custom procurement, contact hello@arkia.app. For help with your account, write to help@arkia.app.

A master plan used to take three weeks of rendering. Now I iterate three times in an afternoon, with the client on the phone.
