Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Image2CodeAI, our features, pricing, and how to get the most out of our AI-powered code generation.

Product Capabilities

What code formats does Image2CodeAI support?

Image2CodeAI supports three output formats: HTML with inline CSS for quick prototypes, HTML with Tailwind CSS for utility-first styling, and React components with Tailwind CSS for modern web development.

What types of images can I convert to code?

You can convert virtually any visual design including screenshots, wireframes, mockups, Figma/Sketch/XD exports, hand-drawn sketches, and photos of UI designs. For best results, use clear, high-resolution images with readable text.

How accurate is the AI code generation?

Image2CodeAI achieves high accuracy for most UI designs, typically capturing layout structure, spacing, colors, and typography with 85-95% accuracy. Complex animations, custom fonts, and intricate interactions may require minor manual adjustments.

Is the generated code responsive?

Yes, Image2CodeAI generates responsive code by default. The AI analyzes your design and creates appropriate responsive breakpoints using CSS media queries or Tailwind's responsive utilities (sm:, md:, lg:, xl:).

Can I edit the generated code with prompts?

Yes! After code generation, you can use our built-in prompt feature to request specific changes. Simply describe what you'd like to modify (e.g., "make the button larger", "change background to blue", "add hover effects"), and the AI will update the code accordingly.

What image file formats are supported?

Image2CodeAI accepts all common image formats including PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, GIF, and BMP. For best results, use high-resolution PNG or JPG images. We recommend avoiding heavily compressed images as they may lose detail the AI needs.

Does Image2CodeAI support dark mode in generated code?

The initial output doesn't include dark mode variants by default, but you can easily add dark mode support using the prompt feature. Simply request "add dark mode support" or "include dark: variants" and the AI will update the code with appropriate dark mode classes.

Can I access my previous code generations?

Yes, Image2CodeAI stores your code generation history. You can access all previous generations from your dashboard, view the original image alongside the code, and continue iterating on any previous project.

Is there a limit on image file size?

We accept images up to 10MB in size. For very large images, we recommend resizing them to under 4000 pixels on the longest edge, as this typically provides sufficient detail for accurate code generation while keeping processing fast.

Does Image2CodeAI extract text from images?

Yes, our AI extracts and includes text content from your images in the generated code. For best text extraction, ensure the text in your screenshots is sharp and readable, not blurry or low-resolution.

Technical Questions

Does Image2CodeAI have an API?

We are currently developing an API for enterprise customers. If you're interested in API access for integrating Image2CodeAI into your workflow or tools, please contact us to join the waitlist and discuss your requirements.

What CSS methodology does the output use?

You can choose between inline CSS styles (for simplicity and portability) or Tailwind CSS utility classes (for modern, maintainable styling). Both options use modern CSS features including Flexbox and CSS Grid for layouts.

Is the generated HTML SEO-friendly?

Yes, Image2CodeAI generates semantic HTML5 with appropriate heading hierarchy (h1, h2, h3), proper use of semantic elements (header, nav, main, section, footer), and structured content. You may want to add meta tags and image alt text for complete SEO optimization.

What React version does the generated code support?

Generated React components use modern functional component syntax with hooks, compatible with React 16.8+ (including React 17 and React 18). The code works seamlessly with Next.js, Vite, Create React App, Remix, and other React frameworks.

Does the generated code use TypeScript?

Currently, Image2CodeAI generates JavaScript JSX code for React components. The generated components are clean and well-structured, making it easy to add TypeScript types manually if needed. TypeScript output is on our roadmap for future updates.

What Tailwind CSS version is supported?

Image2CodeAI generates Tailwind CSS v3.x compatible code. The output uses standard utility classes that work with any Tailwind 3.x installation. Custom configurations can be accommodated through the prompt system after initial generation.

Can I use the generated code in commercial projects?

Yes, all code generated by Image2CodeAI is yours to use freely in any project, including commercial applications. There are no licensing restrictions on the generated code output.

How does Image2CodeAI handle custom fonts?

The AI detects font styles in your design and generates appropriate CSS font-family declarations. For custom or non-standard fonts, you'll need to add the font files and @font-face rules to your project. The AI uses common fallback fonts to ensure the layout works even without the exact font.

Use Cases

Can I convert Figma designs to code?

Yes! Export your Figma design as a PNG or JPG image and upload it to Image2CodeAI. The AI will analyze the visual design and generate corresponding code. For multi-page designs, convert each page or component separately for best results.

Can I convert mobile app screenshots to web code?

Absolutely! Image2CodeAI handles mobile screenshots excellently. Upload iOS or Android app screenshots and get responsive web code that adapts to different screen sizes. The AI recognizes mobile UI patterns and generates appropriate layouts.

Can I convert hand-drawn wireframes?

Yes, Image2CodeAI can interpret hand-drawn wireframes and sketches, converting them into working code. For best results, use clear lines, legible labels, and good lighting if photographing a paper sketch.

Is Image2CodeAI useful for creating email templates?

Yes, you can use Image2CodeAI to generate HTML email templates. While you may need to adjust some CSS for email client compatibility (emails have different CSS support than browsers), the generated code provides a solid foundation for email development.

Can agencies use Image2CodeAI for client projects?

Absolutely! Many agencies use Image2CodeAI to accelerate client project delivery. Convert client mockups to code instantly, reducing project timelines and increasing profitability. All generated code can be used in commercial projects without restrictions.

Can I use Image2CodeAI for learning web development?

Yes! Image2CodeAI is a great learning tool. Convert existing designs to code and study how layouts are structured, how CSS properties are applied, and how responsive design works. It's like having an expert show you how to code any design.

Can I convert screenshots of competitor websites?

Yes, you can convert screenshots of any website for learning or prototyping purposes. This is useful for understanding how certain layouts are structured or for quickly creating similar UI patterns. The generated code will be original, not a direct copy of the source.

Can I convert partial screenshots or cropped images?

Yes! Cropping your screenshot to focus on specific components often produces better results than full-page captures. This is especially useful when you want to recreate a specific section like a hero banner, pricing table, or navigation menu.

Comparisons

How does Image2CodeAI compare to Fronty?

Image2CodeAI offers more modern output options including React components and Tailwind CSS, which Fronty doesn't support. Image2CodeAI also provides real-time prompting for code refinement and a more intuitive user interface. Both tools serve the same purpose, but Image2CodeAI is built for modern web development workflows.

How does Image2CodeAI compare to v0 by Vercel?

v0 generates UI from text prompts, while Image2CodeAI converts visual designs and screenshots to code. They serve different use cases: use v0 when you want to describe what you want in words, use Image2CodeAI when you already have a visual design you want to implement. Many developers use both tools in their workflow.

Is Image2CodeAI better than manually coding designs?

Image2CodeAI significantly accelerates the initial implementation phase, often reducing coding time by 70-80%. However, complex interactions, animations, and business logic still require manual coding. Think of Image2CodeAI as a powerful starting point that handles the tedious layout and styling work.

How does Image2CodeAI compare to Figma dev mode?

Figma dev mode provides CSS snippets and specifications, but you still need to write the HTML structure and combine everything. Image2CodeAI generates complete, working code from any image - including Figma exports, screenshots, and mockups from any source.

Can Image2CodeAI replace a frontend developer?

Image2CodeAI is a productivity tool, not a replacement for developers. It excels at generating initial layouts and styles, but frontend development involves much more: state management, interactions, accessibility, performance optimization, and integrating with backends. Image2CodeAI makes developers more efficient, not obsolete.

Why use Image2CodeAI instead of CSS frameworks like Bootstrap?

CSS frameworks require you to manually structure HTML and apply classes. Image2CodeAI does this automatically from your design. Plus, Image2CodeAI can output Tailwind CSS code, giving you the benefits of utility-first CSS with the speed of automated code generation.
