Microsoft has created Sketch2Code, an AI-powered online design tool that can convert website drawings into usable HTML code.

Many firms offer a service to convert bespoke designs into a digital workplace using drag-and-drop website building applications, but this is the first to utilize artificial intelligence to complete the design.

There are situations when amazing imagination and invention strike you in unexpected locations, and all you can do is scribble it down on a piece of paper or a napkin.

Several programmers, in fact, scribble their thoughts on a piece of paper before proceeding to code. But what if your thoughts could be translated into thousands of lines of code at the same time?

This is exactly what Microsoft’s latest initiative, Sketch2Code, accomplishes.

This software allows developers to create initial wireframe designs of user interfaces on paper and creates suitable source code for them.

It recognizes the provided drawings and generates code using artificial intelligence and automation.The AI engine that supports this service has been trained on massive picture datasets to allow object detection for a wide range of items. The model then generates HTML codes for various pieces by defining their locations, as well as the final codes for the design’s complete layout.

The application’s finest feature is that the code can be extracted not only in HTML, but also in XAML and UWP (Universal Windows Platform). As a result, you may acquire the codes from scratch and utilize them in whatever way you want to make your own apps.

Sketch2Code is a free and open source program that you may test right now on this website.
