I Built a Screenshot-to-React Generator in 3 Hours
Norbert Madojemu created a Screenshot-to-React generator in just three hours to streamline the conversion of UI designs into React components. The tool allows users to upload a screenshot and receive a live, rendered React component without any build steps. It aims to save time on manual JSX work, enabling developers to focus on more complex aspects of frontend engineering.
- ▪The generator uses a combination of Next.js for the frontend and Go for the backend processing.
- ▪It converts screenshots into React components by streaming data through the Claude API for vision and code generation.
- ▪The tool can save developers 30 to 60 minutes of manual work per screen, costing under $5 for each conversion.

So I built a tool to do it for me. Drop a screenshot. Get a live, rendered React + Tailwind component. Streaming. In your browser. No build step. Here's how it works and what broke along the way.
