CODEO
Image-to-code desktop application — drop in a wireframe, screenshot, or design mockup and get clean, production-ready HTML and CSS instantly.
The Problem
Designers hand off mockups. Developers stare at them and start writing CSS from scratch. It’s 2026 and we’re still manually translating pixels to code. Every wireframe, screenshot, or design comp requires a developer to squint at spacing, guess at colors, and hand-code the layout. CODEO was built to kill that friction.
What We Built
CODEO is a cross-platform desktop application built on Tauri 2 with a custom computer vision library written in Rust. Drop in any image — a wireframe, a screenshot, a design mockup — and CODEO’s CV pipeline detects UI patterns, extracts colors, identifies layout structures, and generates clean HTML and CSS. It also ships as a 451KB embeddable WebAssembly widget for browser-based workflows.
Computer Vision Core (codeo-cv)
Custom Rust library handling the heavy lifting: edge detection, color extraction, pattern matching, gradient detection, and shadow analysis. Processes images through a multi-stage pipeline that identifies UI elements, their spatial relationships, and visual properties — then maps them to semantic HTML structures.
Desktop Application
Tauri 2 desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux) with a live preview panel alongside the source image. Drag-and-drop an image, see the generated code instantly, tweak output format (standard HTML/CSS or Tailwind utilities), and copy the result. Runs 100% offline — no cloud, no API calls, no data leaving your machine.
Web Widget (codeo-web)
The same CV engine compiled to WebAssembly at just 451KB. Embeddable in any web application — design tools, documentation platforms, CMS editors. Processes images entirely in the browser with zero server round-trips.
Output Formats
Generates clean, semantic HTML with either standard CSS or Tailwind CSS utility classes. Extracts the full color palette with hex codes for easy copying. Detects gradients, shadows, border radii, and spacing to produce code that closely matches the original design.
Architecture
CODEO is structured as a Rust workspace with three crates: codeo-cv (the computer vision library), codeo-web (the WASM widget), and the src-tauri desktop shell. The CV library is the shared core — it compiles natively for the desktop app and to WebAssembly for the browser widget, ensuring identical output across both platforms.
