What is Design2code?
Design2code converts visual web design mockups into functional HTML and CSS code. You upload a screenshot of your design, and the tool uses GPT-4 vision to analyse the layout and generate clean, working code. This is useful for designers and developers who want to skip manual hand-coding of designs, or for anyone translating static design files into actual web pages. The tool requires an OpenAI API key to function, which means you'll need an active OpenAI account with some credit available. Your API key is not stored by Design2code, which you can verify by examining the source code.
