AI Pic2Code vs Quest

AI Pic2Code is free, self-hosted web software that converts UI screenshots or design images into frontend code. It generates HTML with Tailwind CSS, React JSX with Tailwind, Flutter UI in Dart, and React Native components. Users can drag and drop an image, preview it, and inspect results in a multi-tab code viewer. Color palette extraction, voice input, and dark and light modes are included. The project supports Google Gemini and OpenRouter models, including Claude, GPT-4o, DeepSeek, Grok, and Qwen. It describes a frontend-only architecture: requests go directly from the browser, with no backend, server, or storage. Local setup requires Gemini and OpenRouter API keys in `.env.local`, cloning the repository, installing dependencies with npm, and running it locally. The Free plan costs nothing and requires no sign-up. Figma import, GitHub sync, and ZIP code export are not available; Vue and Angular output are listed as roadmap items.

Quest turns Figma designs, wireframes or templates into frontend UI and React code, which can be downloaded as individual components or as a complete application. The output can be added to an existing React app or used to build an app, and users can add props and bindings to connect an interface to a backend. Updated designs can be exported again to regenerate code components. The Figma plugin is installed through Figma Community and opened from Figma Desktop’s Plugins menu. Quest supports custom components, its own Design Kit, MUI Design Kit with MUI v5 or later, and Chakra UI Design Kit. A page can combine one to five frames or device views for responsive designs. Quest requires React 17.0.0 or later. A free account provides access to basically all features and one code download to try the product. Google Fonts are supported, but custom fonts do not automatically transfer from Figma. In some cases, Quest cannot retrieve element rotation from Figma, so rotated elements may need adjustment in Quest or Figma.
