Image to Code

Upload design screenshots or mockups and the AI generates matching production-ready code — the fastest way to go from a visual idea to a working app.

How It Works

Upload design screenshots or mockups and the AI interprets the visual layout, colors, typography, and structure to generate matching code. This is the fastest way to go from a design idea to a working app.

1

Upload a screenshot or mockup

Drag and drop an image onto the chat input or use the file picker button. You can upload screenshots of websites, mobile apps, wireframes, or even hand-drawn sketches.
2

Add context with a text prompt

Optionally include a text prompt alongside your image to guide the AI. For example: “Build this as a React app with dark mode.”
3

AI analyzes and generates code

The AI analyzes the layout, identifies components, and generates production-ready code that matches the design using your selected framework (Vanilla JS, React, or React + TypeScript) with Tailwind CSS.
4

Refine the result

Use chat or GenMB Code to fine-tune the generated code — adjust styling, add interactivity, or restructure components until the result matches your vision.

Uploading Images

Use the chat input area to upload design images. The upload process is simple and supports drag-and-drop for quick workflows.

  • Drag and drop image files directly onto the chat input area.
  • Click the attachment button in the chat to open the file picker.
  • Add a text prompt alongside your image to provide context — for example, "Build this as a React app with dark mode."

Supported Formats and Limits

Supported formats: PNG, JPG, and WebP. Maximum file size is 10 MB per image. For best results, use high-resolution PNG screenshots with clean, cropped content.

Batch Processing

Upload multiple images at once to generate a multi-page or multi-section app. The AI processes all images together and combines them into a cohesive application.

  • Upload several screenshots representing different pages or sections of your app.
  • The AI analyzes all images together to understand the overall app structure.
  • Generates a unified app with consistent styling, navigation, and shared components across all pages.
  • Useful for converting a complete design system or multi-screen prototype into working code.
For complex layouts, upload separate screenshots for each major section rather than one full-page capture. This gives the AI clearer context for each part of your app and produces more accurate results.

Tips for Best Results

The quality of the generated code depends heavily on the quality of the input images. Follow these recommendations to get the best output from Image to Code.

How to Get Better Results

  • Use clean, high-resolution screenshots — the AI extracts more detail from sharper images.
  • Crop to the relevant area — remove browser chrome, OS toolbars, and unrelated content.
  • Annotate unclear interactions — add arrows or labels to indicate hover states, modals, or dropdowns.
  • Provide context in the text prompt — mention specific features, behaviors, or technologies you want.
  • For complex layouts, upload sections separately — the AI produces more accurate results with focused inputs.

Supported Formats

Image to Code supports the most common image formats used for screenshots and mockups.

PNG

Best for screenshots with sharp text and UI elements. Recommended for most use cases.

JPG

Good for photographs and designs with gradients. Slightly lower quality for text-heavy content.

WebP

Modern format with good compression. Works well for both photos and UI screenshots.

Maximum file size is 10 MB per image. Larger files will be rejected with an error message. If your screenshot exceeds this limit, resize or compress it before uploading.

Image to Code vs Figma Import

Both features convert designs into code, but they work differently and are suited to different inputs.

Image to Code

  • Works with screenshots from any source
  • Accepts hand-drawn sketches and wireframes
  • Best for quick prototyping
  • No design tool account required

Figma Import

  • Connects directly to your Figma file
  • Extracts design tokens, layers, and components
  • Best for pixel-perfect results
  • Requires a Figma account and file URL
You can use both together — start with Image to Code for the initial layout from a screenshot, then use Figma Import for pixel-perfect refinement once you have a structured Figma design.

FAQs

What image formats are supported?▾
PNG, JPG, and WebP are supported. The maximum file size is 10 MB per image. For best results, use high-resolution PNG screenshots with clean content.
Can I upload multiple images at once?▾
Yes. You can upload multiple images in a single message. The AI will process all images together and generate a cohesive app that incorporates all the designs — for example, creating multiple pages from separate screenshots.
Does Image to Code work with hand-drawn sketches?▾
Yes. The AI can interpret hand-drawn wireframes and sketches, though the results will be more accurate with clean digital screenshots. Use a text prompt to clarify any ambiguous elements in your sketch.
Is Image to Code available on the Free plan?▾
Yes. Image to Code is available on all plans, including Free. It uses the same generation quota as text-based prompts (50 generations per day on the Free plan).
