Quick answers to common questions about MNKI.
MNKI is an AI-powered architectural rendering platform. Upload a hand sketch, 3D massing model, wireframe, white model, raw photo, floor plan, or site context image and transform it into a stunning photorealistic visualization in minutes — not hours.
MNKI supports a wide range of inputs: Floor Plans, Hand Sketches, 3D Massing models, 3D Wireframes, White Models, Raw Photos, and Site Context images. You can also use the built-in MNKICanvas (Beta) tool to draw directly in the app.
MNKI offers 9 modules: General Render (standard visualizations), Architecture Study (design exploration), Mood Board, Material Palette, Space Planning (with area and program inputs), 3D Plan (furnished floor plans), and three Inpaint modules — Remove, Add, and Replace — for targeted edits on existing images.
MNG 3 Ultra is our best-quality engine with advanced AI (6 credits for 2K, 8 credits for 4K). MNF 2.5 is a faster engine with good quality at 4 credits per render. Choose MNG when quality is the priority and MNF when speed matters.
You can choose from three strategies: Strict (deterministic, best for technical documentation), Balanced (recommended for most projects), and Creative (experimental, artistic variations for concept exploration).
Yes! The 360° Panorama feature generates immersive panoramic images for VR viewing and virtual tours. It's an experimental feature that works best with interior spaces.
Presets instantly apply optimized settings for common use cases — Interior, Exterior, Technical, Organic, Sketch, Landscape, MasterPlan, and Render ID. Each preset configures style, lighting, and material detail to get the best result with one click.
MNKI Video (Beta) generates footage from a text prompt or reference images and gives you a real non-linear timeline to cut it on — trim, grade, keyframe, mix audio and export a finished file, with your own footage and stills on the same timeline. It is available on Pro and VIP plans.
Seedance 2.5 for long takes (up to 30 seconds), heavy referencing and reproducible seeds. Gemini Omni 1.1 for short shots (3 to 10 seconds) that need native audio or up to 4K, at roughly half the credits per second. You pick per shot, and the panel reconfigures around whichever engine is selected.
Standard renders (MNF): 4 credits. Pro renders (MNG 2K): 6 credits. Pro renders (MNG 4K) and Inpaint operations: 8 credits each.
Video is not priced per render like an image — its providers bill on video output, so the cost comes from length, resolution and which engine you pick. An 8-second 720p shot is about 25 credits on Gemini Omni and about 56 on Seedance. The exact figure is shown on the Generate button before you commit, and the server charges what it quotes.
Free plan users receive 40 trial credits to start. After that, you can purchase top-up credit packs (pay-as-you-go). No monthly subscription required.
Open the Billing tab and click Upgrade, or go to the Pricing tab, then choose a plan and pay through the secure Noon Payments checkout. Your card is saved for automatic monthly renewal. You can cancel any time from the Billing tab; you keep access until the end of your current billing period. Enterprise and VIP plans are arranged by request (see below).
Open the Billing tab (Plan & Credits) to view your monthly and purchased balances, buy top-up packs, and review your payment history.
Absolutely. Top-up credit packs are available in the Billing tab. They never expire and work with any plan — including Free.
Yes. Upload a style reference image to match its visual style, color palette, and mood. When a reference is active, manual style and lighting selections are disabled to avoid conflicts.
Professional camera controls designed for exterior views. You can adjust azimuth (horizontal rotation), elevation (vertical angle), distance, focal length (16 mm to 135 mm), and composition rules. Built-in presets include Front Elevation, Hero Corner, Aerial, Isometric, Worm's Eye, and Drone View.
We strive for high-quality outputs, but AI can occasionally be unpredictable. If you encounter a severe hallucination or technical error, please email support@mnki.ai with a screenshot of the generation. Our team will review the request to determine eligibility for a refund.
No, you will not be charged for failed generations caused by server-side issues. Any deducted credits or funds for a failed attempt will be automatically reimbursed to your MNKI wallet within 1 to 3 working days.
All payments are processed securely by Noon Payments. Prices may be displayed in your local currency where available.
The MNKI Wall is a daily updated public gallery showcasing creations made by the MNKI community. It does not require authentication to view, which allows search engines to index your posts and help promote your architectural visualization portfolio for SEO.
Every signed-in MNKI user can post on the MNKI Wall, on any plan — including Free. Each account can share up to 3 posts per day.
You can share directly from your workspace (Studio or chat). After rendering or receiving a generated output, click the "Share" or "Share to Wall" button. Write a caption, choose whether to display your first name or post anonymously, and post it.
No. To ensure authenticity, you can only share images generated directly within the MNKI platform (Studio or chat workspace).
No, captions cannot be edited once posted. If you need to make changes, you will have to delete your post from the Wall and re-submit it with the corrected caption.
There is a flat limit of three (3) posts per day per user to keep the content diverse and engaging.
When logged in, you can delete your posts directly from the MNKI Wall page.
