Codia AI vs Quest

Codia AI converts screenshots, PDFs, slides, images, and design files into editable designs and other creative formats. Its Screenshot to Figma workflow detects text and layout to rebuild screenshots as editable layers. It also converts Photoshop files and content from Canva, Notion, or Office into Figma designs. For development, it can turn screenshots, PDFs, or Figma files into code for React, Vue, SwiftUI, Flutter, Android, or plain HTML. NoteSlide converts NotebookLM exports, regular PDFs, and image-based slides into editable PowerPoint or Keynote presentations. Visual Struct API turns interface screenshots and mockups into structured JSON, SVG, and Figma-compatible files. The product family includes Codia Studio and Figma and Canva plugins, with listed workflows for Figma, Canva, Photoshop, Sketch, Cursor, Claude Desktop, and ChatGPT. Codia offers web, API, and extension access, and lists a free plan at free. It says private customer files, prompts, and outputs are not used to train models unless the customer opts in or a separate written agreement provides otherwise. Converted output may need manual review, and OCR depends on source quality.

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.
