Free Evacuation Plan Maker — Build OSHA Maps from Any Floor Plan
Skip the blank canvas.

Are the generated maps aligned with OSHA?
Our AI drafts maps that follow OSHA 29 CFR 1910.36–37 and NFPA 101 Life Safety Code standards. Every map includes clearly marked exits, fire extinguisher locations, assembly points, and directional evacuation arrows. Supervisor review is required before posting to your facility.
What file formats can I upload?
We accept JPG, PNG, and PDF floor plans. For best results, use a clear, high-resolution image of your floor plan with visible walls, doors, and rooms.
How long does map generation take?
Most maps are generated in 20–40 seconds. Complex multi-floor plans may take slightly longer. You see the preview instantly — create a free account (no credit card) to download the file.
Can I edit the map after generation?
Yes — every generated map opens in a free drag-and-drop editor where you can move, resize, and recolor exit signs, routes, and equipment icons. Enterprise features like multi-floor support and branded maps are available on paid plans.
Is my floor plan data secure?

Evacuation Plan Maker FAQ
What is an evacuation plan maker?
An evacuation plan maker is an online tool for creating the evacuation diagrams and posted maps required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.38. Traditional makers are drag-and-drop drawing editors where you place walls, doors, and symbols by hand. Our evacuation plan maker works differently: you upload a photo, PDF, or sketch of your existing floor plan, and AI drafts the complete evacuation map — exits, routes, extinguishers, pull stations, and assembly points — in about 30 seconds.
How is an AI evacuation plan maker different from a drag-and-drop editor?
Drag-and-drop evacuation plan makers (like diagramming tools) start you with a blank canvas or a generic template you must redraw to match your building — typically 1-3 hours of manual work placing every wall and symbol. An AI evacuation plan maker reads your actual floor plan and does the drafting for you. You still get an editor for fine-tuning, but you skip the redrawing entirely, and the safety elements follow OSHA and NFPA placement conventions automatically.
Do I need to redraw my floor plan to use this evacuation plan maker?
No. That's the main advantage over template-based evacuation plan makers. Upload whatever you already have — an architectural drawing, a CAD export, a real-estate floor plan, a photo of the map posted in your hallway, or a pencil sketch on paper. The AI interprets the layout directly, so there's no tracing, scaling, or symbol-by-symbol placement.
What safety symbols does the evacuation plan maker use?
Maps use the NFPA 170 standardized fire-safety symbol set that fire marshals and OSHA inspectors expect: green running-man exits, fire extinguishers by class, manual pull stations, AEDs, first-aid kits, assembly points, and 'YOU ARE HERE' markers. A legend is printed on every map so occupants can read the symbols at a glance.
What formats can I download my evacuation plan in?
Finished evacuation plans download as print-ready files sized for standard letter (11x8.5) posting on the free tier, with larger print sizes available on paid plans — see our pricing page for current export options. You can print them on any office printer, send them to a print shop for mounting, or share them digitally with employees, building management, and your local fire department.
Can I edit the evacuation plan after the maker generates it?
Yes. Every generated plan opens in a built-in drag-and-drop editor where you can move or add safety symbols, adjust evacuation routes, rename rooms, and reposition the assembly point before downloading. You get the speed of AI generation plus the control of a traditional evacuation plan maker.
Is this evacuation plan maker suitable for schools, daycares, and apartments?
Yes. The maker supports every occupancy type — offices, warehouses, restaurants, schools, daycares, apartment buildings, hotels, and healthcare facilities. Select your industry during generation and the AI applies occupancy-specific considerations, like age-appropriate route clarity for schools or patient-evacuation staging for healthcare.
