Image to Code

When to use

• Implement an interface faithfully from supplied or approved images.

Not for: frontend-design for code-first design; imagegen for images only.

Steps

1. Inspect references and target dimensions; separate visible layout from unspecified behavior. Generate images only within the agreed workflow.

2. Extract layout, type, colors, spacing and assets; ask about consequential ambiguity rather than inferring interaction from pixels.

3. Implement semantic controls and reusable components in the actual framework, including required responsive and interaction states.

4. Run screenshots at matching dimensions, compare and correct material differences; test core interactions and report fidelity limits.

Verify

• Comparisons use actual matching viewports; interaction and responsive behavior work without unsupported fidelity claims.
