Free Tile Layout Planner Online — 3D, No Signup
Free online tile layout planner for walls and floors: see every tile and cut in 3D, add niches and openings, and get a cut list. No signup, no download.
Layometry is a free online tile layout planner with a live 3D view. It runs in the browser with no signup and nothing to download: enter your wall, floor, and tile sizes and you immediately see the finished surface with full tiles, edge cuts, grout joints, and the junctions between surfaces.
Unlike an area calculator, the planner shows exactly where each cut piece lands, how the grid carries through a corner, and what happens around a niche, window, or column. You check the layout before you buy tile and before the first cut.
What the planner does
Cut-aware layouts
See the installed piece and waste area with dimensions.
Connected surfaces
Join walls inline or at 90°, add a floor, and inspect every junction.
Uneven walls
Enter four measurements and let wedge-shaped edge cuts absorb the skew.
Niches, openings & columns
Model windows, fixtures, niches, and projections with their tiled faces.
Flexible patterns
Straight, running-bond, and honeycomb layouts with grid rotation and offsets.
Actionable cut list
Get one grouped list of cut pieces across every project surface.
Three steps to a confident plan
01 Measure the surface
Add walls, a floor, and complex elements using real dimensions.
02 Configure the tile
Set size, grout, thickness, pattern, orientation, and centering.
03 Review 3D and cuts
Inspect corners, cut pieces, and the cut list before starting work.
A guest project is saved in your browser. With a free account, projects are stored in the cloud and the cut list can be downloaded as CSV and PDF.
Tile layout questions
Short answers to what people ask most before buying and cutting.
How many tiles do I need?
Divide the surface area by the area of one tile including its grout joint, then add waste: about 10% for a straight layout and about 15% for a diagonal layout or an awkward room. A layout gives a more exact number because it counts full tiles and cut tiles separately, so you see how many pieces the edges, niches, and openings really take.
How do I lay out tile without thin slivers at the edges?
Do not start from a corner. Center the grid on the surface and compare two options: a grout joint on the centerline or a tile on the centerline. Pick the one where the edge pieces on both sides match and are no narrower than half a tile. If a sliver still remains, shift the grid, change the joint width, or try another tile size.
What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain tile?
Porcelain is a type of ceramic tile with water absorption of 0.5% or less. It is denser and stronger, which suits floors, wet areas, and outdoor use. Standard ceramic wall tile is more porous, lighter, and easier to cut, but it is not made for heavily used floors or frost.
Where should a tile layout start?
Start from the line people see first: the center of the main wall, the axis of a niche, a vanity, or the doorway. The grid runs outward from that line, so the cuts end up in corners and behind furniture. Before cutting, check where the rows meet the floor, the ceiling, and any openings.
What is a 3D tile visualizer and why use one?
A 3D tile visualizer is a model of the room with tiles laid out at true scale, grout joints included. It shows what a spreadsheet cannot: the width of the edge pieces, whether joints line up between wall and floor, and how niches and openings look. Layout mistakes surface before the material is bought.
