Design2Code: Benchmarking Multimodal Code Generation for Automated Front-End Engineering
Evaluates reconstruction of frontend code from webpage screenshots using real-world reference pages, visual-element and layout metrics, and human assessment.
Scope and limitations
This is visual website reconstruction, not binary decompilation or recovery of backend behavior and interactive workflows. The main benchmark contains 484 webpages with placeholder images; code and data have separate licensing terms.
Why it fits this collection
Directly supports the collection's screenshot-to-website reconstruction scope while keeping visual fidelity separate from behavioral equivalence.

Use the final NAACL 2025 title and six-author list. arXiv v1 (2024-03-05) and the project page’s BibTeX use the earlier title “Design2Code: How Far Are We From Automating Front-End Engineering?” and list five authors without Ryan Li; v2 and the reviewed v3 match the final title and authors. SALT-NLP/Design2Code hosts the project website, whereas NoviScl/Design2Code is the verified research-code repository.
