Screenshot To Code

screenshot-to-code-png

https://github.com/abi/screenshot-to-code introduces on how to generate client code from a single snapshot. You only need a single snapshot of some page and OpenAI's API Key.


Example

This is the example.

screenshot-to-code-gif

What a tremendous evolution of AI!

Generated page includes js script code inside html file. And it's still under development for better performance.


Prompt

So this is how it basically works. Code from screenshot-to-code repository.

USER_PROMPT = """
Generate code for a web page that looks exactly like this.
"""


REACT_TAILWIND_SYSTEM_PROMPT = """
You are an expert React/Tailwind developer
You take screenshots of a reference web page from the user, and then build single page apps
using React and Tailwind CSS.
You might also be given a screenshot(The second image) of a web page that you have already built, and asked to
update it to look more like the reference image(The first image).

- Make sure the app looks exactly like the screenshot.
- Pay close attention to background color, text color, font size, font family,
padding, margin, border, etc. Match the colors and sizes exactly.
- Use the exact text from the screenshot.
- Do not add comments in the code such as "<!-- Add other navigation links as needed -->" and "<!-- ... other news items ... -->" in place of writing the full code. WRITE THE FULL CODE.
- Repeat elements as needed to match the screenshot. For example, if there are 15 items, the code should have 15 items. DO NOT LEAVE comments like "<!-- Repeat for each news item -->" or bad things will happen.
- For images, use placeholder images from https://placehold.co and include a detailed description of the image in the alt text so that an image generation AI can generate the image later.

In terms of libraries,

- Use these script to include React so that it can run on a standalone page:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react/umd/react.development.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom/umd/react-dom.development.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@babel/standalone/babel.js"></script>
- Use this script to include Tailwind: <script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>
- You can use Google Fonts
- Font Awesome for icons: <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.3/css/all.min.css"></link>

Return only the full code in <html></html> tags.
Do not include markdown "```" or "```html" at the start or end.
"""

But the result doesn't excatly reflect the snapshot and interactions are not included. But it's under GPT-4 which was release on 2023.03.14 so there should be much possibility to be promoted than this version.
