You have a design in front of you and need it as markup. Screenshot to Code is an AI tool that takes screenshots and videos and produces front-end code, with output options including HTML/CSS, React, Vue, HTML/Tailwind, Bootstrap and Ionic. You can also describe a UI in plain English, then refine what comes back with follow-up prompts.

Our take
The follow-up prompt loop is the part that matters, since a first pass at generated markup rarely lands exactly where you want it. Screen recordings are the interesting input here, because they capture interactions and animations that a still image can't. Worth a look if you build interfaces and want a starting point instead of a blank file.
