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 on your machine 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]. All the features can also be accessed through the graphical interface ^[3]. You can line up several batches, start them together and drag waiting batches to change their order ^[3].
