Frequently asked questions

Is DIY Closet Planner really free?

Yes. It's completely free to use, you don't need an account, and you can export your finished plan for free. NO ADS!

Do I need to make an account?

No. There's nothing to sign up for. Open the page and start drawing. While you work, your design is cached in your browser if it allows that, but the copy is temporary and can be lost, for example if you clear your browsing data or use a private window. To come back to a design later, export it as a .closet file and reopen it from there.

Can I switch between a flat drawing and a 3D view?

Yes. Use the Flat and 3D toggle at the top, and in 3D drag to rotate the closet.

What can I put in my closet design?

Vertical dividers (called walls), shelves, stacks of evenly spaced shelves, hanging bars, drawers and stacks of drawers, plus text labels. Pick one from the Actions panel and click the spot where you want to add it. Each piece can then be adjusted on its own (thickness, depth, height and spacing), or you can quickly apply a setting to every piece of that kind at once. Pieces line up with each other as you drag.

Can I change the background colour?

Yes. Use the round background button at the top, next to the size menu, to pick a plain colour, a pattern or your own custom colour, or to use a photo of your space as the back wall.

Can I get the measurements I need to build it?

Yes. Every piece shows its size on the drawing, the Materials tab lists each piece with its measurements, and the PDF puts the drawing, the sizes and a list of items on one sheet. Pieces start at typical closet-system sizes, such as three-quarter-inch boards. You figure out how many boards to buy and how to cut them.

Can I use centimetres instead of inches?

Yes. Switch between inches and centimetres at any time from the size menu or the Materials tab. Every size on the drawing and in your exports follows it.

What can I export or share?

The Export menu offers a PDF sheet (drawing, sizes, items list), a high-resolution PNG, an SVG at real size for design tools and cutters, and a .closet file that reopens your design later. The PDF and image show the view you're in, flat or 3D, and you can leave out dimensions or labels. Reopen a saved design from Start new, using Open a saved closet.

Does it work on my phone or tablet?

It's built for phones and tablets as well as computers, with the same tools and touch controls, and there's nothing to install: it runs in your web browser.

Is my design saved, and can I open it on another device?

While you work, your browser can keep a temporary copy of your design on the device you're using. To keep a design and pick it up later, export it as a .closet file, which reopens on any device.

What do I need to know before I build?

DIY Closet Planner is a free design tool to get you started, so confirm every final measurement yourself, based on your closet and the materials you use. Things to check: walls are rarely perfectly straight, so measure each width in several places and plan for the smallest. Widths have to fit, while heights are more forgiving. The next answers cover cut sizes, shelf and rod lengths, and fixing it to the wall.

Are the sizes in the Materials list what I cut?

Not always. They're the openings in your plan, and what you cut depends on your materials and hardware. Check whether pieces that sit on pins or clips need to be a little shorter, how much narrower a drawer box needs to be for its slides, and the real thickness of your boards before cutting anything to fit them. Plan how you'll cover small gaps at uneven walls, such as with trim or caulk.

How long can a shelf or hanging rod be?

It depends on the material and what it holds. Long shelves can sag, so check how far your boards can span without support, and add a divider, a support underneath or a strip along the front edge where needed. Hanging rods have a limit between supports too, so check your rod's instructions. In the planner a shelf runs between the nearest walls, so adding a wall shortens it.

How do I attach it to my closet walls?

Screw into the wall studs, not only the drywall, usually through a strip of wood (a cleat) along the back wall or under the shelves. Find the studs before you settle the layout, since they can decide where a divider goes. Baseboards can come off and go back around your build, or the bottom of each panel can be notched to fit over them. Check your hardware's instructions for how much weight it takes.
