v0.dev: Vercel's AI-Powered Web Development Tool

v0.dev is Vercel's revolutionary generative AI tool that transforms text descriptions and design mockups into production-ready code, enabling developers to build web interfaces through natural language prompts and visual inputs.

Features

Natural Language to Code Generation

Transform plain English descriptions into functional React, Vue, Svelte, or HTML/CSS code, eliminating the need for manual coding of repetitive UI components.

Multi-Framework Support

Comprehensive support for modern web frameworks including React, Vue.js, Svelte, and traditional HTML with CSS, providing flexibility for diverse project requirements.

Image-to-Code Conversion

Upload screenshots, sketches, wireframes, or mockups and automatically translate them into production-ready frontend code with accurate styling and structure.

Chat-Based Interface

Intuitive conversational interface allowing developers to refine and iterate on generated code through natural language feedback and modification requests.

Design Tool Integration

Seamless integration with design tools like Figma, enabling smooth collaboration between designers and developers in the design-to-code workflow.

Production-Ready Output

Generated code follows modern best practices and is ready for deployment, reducing the gap between prototyping and production implementation.
