Screenshot to interface

Turn a visual reference into an interactive first pass.

2 min read

Prepare the reference

Crop to the interface you want to recreate. Remove unrelated browser chrome while retaining enough context to understand proportions and spacing.

Build the first pass

  1. Attach the screenshot

    Add it as an image reference in the composer.

  2. Explain what to preserve

    Name the composition, density, colors, or typography that define the direction.

  3. Describe the behavior

    Provide the content and interactions that cannot be inferred from pixels.

  4. Generate and compare

    Check the whole layout before refining details.

Correct the biggest mismatch

Select the result and ask for one correction. Address the overall layout before adjusting a small icon or color difference.

Example prompt
Keep the content and behavior. Match the reference’s narrower sidebar and increase the space between the heading and first row.
