Screenshot to Code

Screenshot to Code is an open-source web tool that turns screenshots, video recordings, or plain text descriptions into working front-end code. Upload an image of a website or app, and the AI produces HTML, CSS, React, Vue, or Tailwind code that matches the original design. You can also record a screen interaction and get interactive components that preserve hover states, transitions, and animations. If you prefer describing your idea, the text-to-code mode lets you write something like "a pricing page with three tiers and a toggle" and get code back.

Behind the scenes, Screenshot to Code uses GPT-4 Vision to analyze the visual input and DALL-E 3 to generate similar-looking images. The result is code that preserves hierarchy, spacing, colors, and imagery. You can pick from multiple output frameworks: HTML/Tailwind, Bootstrap, Ionic, React, or Vue. If the first generation isn't perfect, you can give follow-up prompts like "make the header sticky" or "tighten the spacing" to refine the output. The tool is fully open source, so you can inspect the code, run it locally, or contribute to the project.

This tool is especially useful for frontend developers who want to quickly turn design mockups into code, designers who want to prototype interactions without writing markup, or anyone learning to build modern UIs. It's also handy for pulling inspiration from existing websites — just take a screenshot and get a working starting point. With over 72,000 stars on GitHub and users at companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Stanford, it's become a go-to resource for rapid UI development.
