What is Crava?

Crava designs furniture and other things for you to build yourself. Describe a piece, or show a photo, and Crava designs it, checks every joint, size and load, and gives you the plans and cut list. It starts with wood.

Is Crava free?

Yes. Crava is free, with every feature - plans and cut lists included. Designing uses AI, so each account has a monthly AI allowance. Crava Plus gives you more, for US$7.99 a month or US$59 a year.

Do I need an account?

Not to look around: you can browse the designs, open one and change it without one. The full plans - the cut list, cutting diagrams, part drawings and build steps - and designing with the AI come with a free account.

How does Crava know a design will work?

Every design is checked by Crava's checker, which uses no AI: it calculates. It checks that every part is attached and joined parts meet, that nothing collides, that each part can be cut from stock you can buy, that shelves and loaded parts do not sag, that glued joints allow for wood movement, and that the piece stands steadily and fits its wall. A design the AI proposes that fails is sent back to be fixed.

The checks are calculations, not an inspection: they cannot see your materials, tools or wall. Check every measurement before you cut, fix tall pieces to the wall as the plans say, and see the Terms.

What is in the plans?

What to know before you build, drawings with lettered parts and every size, what to buy, the cut list, cutting diagrams for each board and sheet, a drawing of each part, and the build steps as a checklist. You can print them.

Inches or millimetres?

Either. Crava works in millimetres and shows inches the way a tape measure reads them, to the nearest sixteenth.

Can I start from a photo?

Yes. Show your room, or a piece you love, and Crava reads the space and the style; pick the piece you want and it is designed for you. You can also see a design set into a photo of your own room.

Are the pictures photographs of real builds?

No. The pictures of the featured designs are renderings, made with AI from Crava's own 3D model of each design, and they are labelled as renderings. The model and the plans are what is exact.

Can I sell what I build?

Yes. You may build anything from a design Crava gives you, including to sell. What you may not do is copy Crava itself or resell its plans as a collection.

Who owns my designs?

You do. What you describe, the photos you share and the designs made for you are yours. Crava does not use your designs, requests or photos to train AI models, and does not sell your information. See the Privacy Policy.

Does Crava earn from the shop links?

Some of them. The plans link to stores that sell what a design needs, and some links earn Crava a small commission at no cost to you; as an Amazon Associate, Crava earns from qualifying purchases. Crava never learns what you buy.

How do I delete my account?

From the account menu in Crava. Your account, saved designs, conversations and files are deleted, and removed from backups within 30 days. Deleting your account also cancels Crava Plus.
