Screenshot To Code
Turn a UI screenshot into runnable HTML/CSS, React, Vue, or Next.js with layout and styling fidelity for fast frontend iteration.
Overview
screenshot-to-code is an agent skill for the Build phase that converts UI screenshots into working HTML/CSS, React, Vue, or Next.js implementations.
Install
npx skills add https://github.com/onewave-ai/claude-skills --skill screenshot-to-codeWhat is this skill?
- Analyzes layout (grid, flex, positioning), components, colors, spacing, and responsive cues from images
- Supports React (Tailwind or styled-components), Vue, plain HTML/CSS, and Next.js with user preference
- Defaults to React with Tailwind for modern UIs and plain HTML/CSS for simple pages when unspecified
- Produces component hierarchies with semantic HTML and modern CSS patterns
- Delivers complete, runnable implementation rather than snippet fragments

What problem does it solve?
You have a screenshot of a UI you want to ship but no structured path from pixels to responsive, framework-ready components.
Who is it for?
Solo builders prototyping SaaS or mobile-web UIs from reference images who already use React, Vue, or static HTML stacks.
Skip if: Backend-only tasks, design-system token migration without images, or production pages that need legal/asset clearance without human review.
When should I use this skill?
Users provide screenshots of websites, apps, or UI designs and want code implementation.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You receive a complete, runnable front-end codebase slice that mirrors the screenshot’s layout, components, and visual styling in your chosen framework.
- Runnable HTML/CSS or framework components recreating the screenshot
- Component hierarchy with styling matching identified visual details
Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Screenshot-driven implementation is a Build activity focused on recreating visible UI, not distribution or production monitoring. Frontend subphase is the right shelf because output is component markup, styling, and responsive structure from visual references.
How it compares
Use for vision-to-markup generation instead of asking the model for vague “make it look like this” without a screenshot workflow.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is screenshot-to-code for?
Indie developers and designers-coding-alone who want agent-generated front-end code from website or app screenshots.
When should I use screenshot-to-code?
Use it during Build/frontend when you have a UI image and need HTML/CSS, React, Vue, or Next.js code with responsive structure.
Is screenshot-to-code safe to install?
Generated code runs in your project like any other agent output; review dependencies and the Security Audits panel on this Prism page before executing untrusted bundles.

# Screenshot to Code Convert UI screenshots into production-ready code with accurate styling and structure. ## How This Works When a user provides a screenshot of a UI design: 1. Analyze the visual design thoroughly 2. Generate clean, modern code that recreates it 3. Provide complete, runnable implementation ## Instructions ### 1. Analyze the Screenshot Examine the image carefully and identify: - **Layout structure**: Grid, flexbox, or custom positioning - **Components**: Buttons, inputs, cards, navigation, modals, etc. - **Visual details**: Colors, fonts, spacing, borders, shadows, borders-radius - **Responsive considerations**: Mobile vs. desktop layout cues ### 2. Determine the Framework Ask the user which framework they prefer: - React (with Tailwind CSS or styled-components) - Vue.js - Plain HTML/CSS - Next.js **Default**: If not specified, use **React with Tailwind CSS** for modern designs, or **plain HTML/CSS** for simple pages. ### 3. Generate Complete Code Create the implementation: **For React/Vue:** - Build component hierarchy (break into logical components) - Use semantic HTML elements - Implement modern CSS (flexbox, grid, custom properties) - Include prop types and sensible defaults **For HTML/CSS:** - Use semantic HTML5 structure - Write clean, organized CSS (consider using BEM naming) - Make it responsive by default **Critical requirements:** - Match colors EXACTLY (extract hex codes from screenshot) - Match spacing and proportions as closely as possible - Use appropriate semantic elements (header, nav, main, section, etc.) - Include accessibility attributes (alt text, ARIA labels where needed) ### 4. Make It Responsive - Use responsive units (rem, em, %, vw/vh) rather than fixed pixels - Add breakpoints for mobile, tablet, desktop if the design suggests it - Use `min()`, `max()`, `clamp()` for fluid typography where appropriate ### 5. Deliver Complete Implementation Provide: 1. **Complete code** (all files needed, fully functional) 2. **File structure** (explain what each file does) 3. **Usage instructions** (how to run/use the code) 4. **Notes on design decisions** (any assumptions or interpretations) ## Output Format ```jsx // Example structure for React + Tailwind import React from 'react'; export default function ComponentName() { return ( <div className="..."> {/* Component structure */} </div> ); } ``` Always include: - All necessary imports - Any required dependencies - Clear comments for complex sections - Suggestions for improvements or next steps ## Best Practices - **Accuracy**: Match the design as closely as possible - **Modern CSS**: Prefer Grid/Flexbox over floats or tables - **Accessibility**: Include ARIA labels, alt text, semantic HTML - **Performance**: Optimize images, use efficient selectors - **Maintainability**: Write clean, well-organized code with comments - **Responsiveness**: Design mobile-first when possible ## Common Patterns **Navigation Bars**: Flexbox with space-between, sticky positioning **Card Grids**: CSS Grid with auto-fit/auto-fill for responsiveness **Hero Sections**: Full-height with centered content, background images **Forms**: Proper labels, validation states, accessible inputs **Modals**: Fixed positioning, backdrop, focus management ## When You Can't Match Exactly If the screenshot is unclear or ambiguous: - Make reasonable assumptions based on common UI patterns - Note your interpretation in comments - Suggest alternatives the user might prefer - Ask for clarification on critical decisions ## Example Workflow **User provides**: Screenshot of a landing page with hero section, feature cards, and footer **Your response**: 1. Analyze: Hero with
