Screenshot prototypes

The v0 screenshot feature lets you upload or drag and drop images directly into the chat. v0 analyzes these screenshots and generates code to replicate the design interface shown in the image.

Upload a screenshot by clicking the attachment button in the prompt form or by dragging and dropping an image directly into the chat. When a screenshot is uploaded, v0 analyzes the visual elements, layout, colors, and components present in the image.

Based on the analysis, v0 generates code that recreates the design as closely as possible using React components, Tailwind CSS, and other appropriate technologies

v0 will implement implied functionality based on the UI elements in the screenshot to the best of its ability.

When using screenshots with v0, there are a few best practices to follow to ensure the best results:

  • Provide clear, high resolution screenshots for better analysis and more accurate code generation.
  • Include the entire page or component in the screenshot for complete context around what you want v0 to build.
  • If you only want a portion of the interface built, crop the image to include as little extra information as possible.

While v0 can work with just a screenshot, it's best to add additional instructions to help clarify requirements. For example, add more context around functional implementation or examples of a user journey for the component or feature.

v0 will create the generation using shadcn/ui components by default. While v0 knows other component libraries and frameworks, using Next.js, TailwindCSS, and shadcn/ui leads to the best results.
