2Dex is published by the makers of SageThumbs 2K, RēDesign and VectorMagik, which are compared here alongside other tools.

Figma AI is a design platform where design context, codebase and agents stay connected so designs match what ships ^[1]. screenshot-to-code takes screenshots, mockups, Figma designs and screen recordings and converts them into code using AI ^[2]. RēDesign sends one UI screenshot to several AI models at once and shows the HTML redesigns in a gallery next to the original ^[3]. Choose Figma AI to have Figma's agent add motion to designs, document design systems and implement feedback ^[1]. Choose screenshot-to-code to turn an existing screenshot or mockup into a working code file ^[2]. Choose RēDesign to compare redesigns from multiple AI models side by side before committing to one ^[3].

The short answer

Figma AI's agent can add motion to designs, document design systems, and implement feedback ^[1]. screenshot-to-code converts screenshots, mockups, Figma designs, and screen recordings into code using AI ^[2]. RēDesign sends one UI screenshot to several AI models at the same time and shows the HTML redesigns they return in a gallery next to the original ^[3]. It also checks each saved redesign against a fixed list of generic AI styling patterns and shows the findings as a badge on the card ^[3]. Figma AI's sources say it meets the need to design and build in one connected space where design context, codebase, and agents stay connected so designs match what ships ^[1]. screenshot-to-code's sources say it meets the need to turn a screenshot or mockup into a functional code file ^[2]. RēDesign's claims say it meets the need to compare redesigns from several AI models before picking one ^[3] ^[3].

What Figma AI, screenshot-to-code is built for

Figma's page says the agent can add motion to designs, document design systems, implement feedback, and more ^[1]. Figma says design context, codebase, and agents stay connected so what you design is what gets shipped ^[1]. The Full seat includes full access to all Figma products, including Figma Design, Figma Make, Figma Draw, Figma Sites, Dev Mode, FigJam, Figma Slides and Figma Buzz ^[4]. Figma lets anyone invite as many people as they want to view, comment, inspect, or export files for free ^[4].

screenshot-to-code converts screenshots, mockups, Figma designs, and screen recordings into clean, functional code using AI ^[2]. The app has a React/Vite frontend and a FastAPI backend ^[2].

What RēDesign is built for

RēDesign is made by the team that publishes this site. It sends one UI screenshot to several AI models at the same time and shows the HTML redesigns they return in a gallery next to the original ^[3]. In one run you can ask each model for a different number of variants ^[3]. It comes with prompt presets such as faithful refresh, bold reimagine and minimalist, and you can also write your own prompts ^[3].

It shows two outputs with the model names hidden, and each pick updates a ranking of the models ^[3]. With one click it checks an output's text contrast against WCAG AA, using the rendered pixels ^[3]. It locates and crops logos, product photos, avatars and illustrations so redesigns can embed the real brand marks ^[3]. It checks each saved redesign against a fixed list of generic AI styling patterns and shows the findings as a badge on the card ^[3]. You can download a whole run as a zip, or download a DESIGN.md file for the redesign you picked so a coding agent can rebuild that look ^[3]. It shows an estimated cost before you start a run and tracks what each run costs ^[3]. It works out which provider each pasted API key belongs to and rotates through several keys per provider, pausing keys that keep failing ^[3]. Everything in the app can also be done from the command line, and an AI agent can control it too ^[3]. You can line up several batches, start them together and drag waiting batches to change their order ^[3].

Things to check before you choose

Which system do you work on? Figma AI does not describe an install step, screenshot-to-code's own sources describe its install options, and RēDesign has a packaged app for Windows plus a from-source option for Mac and Linux. Check that each tool runs where you need it.
Will you use it for paid client work? Read each tool's licence terms. screenshot-to-code is under the MIT license, and Figma AI's page lists paid plans. Check what commercial use allows.
Do you already have API keys for an AI provider? screenshot-to-code needs at least one key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini. RēDesign also uses your own provider keys. Check what those providers charge per request.
Which code stack do you need? Check which code stacks screenshot-to-code supports against your project. RēDesign outputs HTML redesigns ^[3]. Check that the output matches your project.
Do you need to compare several AI models on the same screenshot? Check which tool shows multiple model outputs side by side.
Do you need contrast checks or brand asset handling? Check which tool checks WCAG AA contrast and crops your real logos and images.
