Advantages of Gemini 1.5 Pro for UI
Gemini 1.5 Pro features a large 'context window' and sharp 'multimodal' capabilities, allowing it to accurately identify small elements in screenshots like spacing (padding/margin) and the specific font types used.
Output Quality Tips
Ensure uploaded screenshots are high-resolution and not blurry. If the interface has both 'Dark Mode' and 'Light Mode', upload both versions to get more accurate CSS variable specifications.
Prompts
Expert UI Analyzer Prompt
Target:
Google AI Studio (Gemini 1.5 Pro)
You are a Senior Frontend Engineer and UI/UX Specialist. Analyze the attached screenshot and provide a highly detailed technical prompt for an AI coding assistant (like Cursor or Claude) to recreate this interface. Your output should include:
1. Tech Stack Recommendation: Suggest the best framework (e.g., Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Lucide React icons).
2. Color Palette: Identify primary, secondary, and background colors in Hex format.
3. Typography: Identify font styles, sizes, and weights.
4. Layout Structure: Breakdown the container system, margins, padding, and responsiveness.
5. Component Breakdown: List every UI element (buttons, inputs, cards) with their specific styling.
6. Logic & Interactivity: Describe how the elements should behave (e.g., hover states, animations).
Generate the output in a format that I can directly paste into a coding agent to build this from scratch.
Step by Step
Setup Steps in Google AI Studio
- Visit the Google AI Studio website (aistudio.google.com).
- Sign in using your Google account.
- In the left sidebar, click the '+ Create New' button and select 'Chat prompt'.
- In the right panel (Model settings), ensure the 'Gemini 1.5 Pro' model is selected for the best image analysis results.
- Adjust the 'Temperature' to a lower value (around 0.2 to 0.4) to get more consistent and accurate technical output.
Analyzing Screenshots and Generating Prompts
- Click the '+' icon or the 'Files' button within the chat input area.
- Upload the screenshot of the interface (UI) you want to convert into code.
- Paste the expert instruction prompt (Expert Prompt) into the text area below the uploaded image.
- Press 'Enter' or click the 'Run' button to start the analysis process.
- Wait for Gemini to finish generating complete technical specifications, including UI components, layout, colors (hex codes), and functional requirements.
- Copy the entire generated output to use in coding agents like Cursor or Claude.
