Overview
Image to Code allows you to transform any visual design into working Swift code. Simply drag and drop images, screenshots, or design files into Parsaa, and get instant Swift/UIKit code generation.Coming Soon: Image to Code functionality is currently in development and will be available to beta users first.

How It Works
Basic Usage
1
Prepare Your Image
- Ensure image is clear and well-lit
- Include all UI elements you want to convert
- Use high-resolution images for better results
- Consider the layout and structure
2
Drag and Drop
- Drag your image to the Parsaa panel
- Or use the “Image to Code” feature
- Wait for Parsaa to analyze the image
- Review the generated code
3
Review and Edit
- Check the generated Swift code
- Make adjustments as needed
- Test the code in your project
- Iterate and improve

Best Practices
Image Preparation
High Quality Images
Use high-resolution images for better recognition and code generation.
Clear UI Elements
Ensure all UI elements are clearly visible and well-defined in your images.
Consistent Design
Use consistent design patterns and styles for better code generation.
Complete Screens
Include complete screens or sections rather than partial views.

Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Poor Code Quality
Poor Code Quality
Solutions:
- Use higher quality images
- Ensure clear UI elements
- Provide more context about the design
- Try different image formats
Missing Elements
Missing Elements
Solutions:
- Check image resolution and clarity
- Ensure all elements are visible
- Try cropping to focus on specific areas
- Use multiple images for complex layouts
Layout Issues
Layout Issues
Solutions:
- Review generated constraints
- Adjust layout parameters
- Test on different screen sizes
- Manually refine layout code
Optimization Tips
