Subframe

What is Subframe?

Subframe is a visual UI design tool that lets teams design and build production-ready frontend interfaces without writing code. It combines a drag-and-drop canvas with a code-based design system, allowing designers and developers to collaborate in one place. Designs can be exported as clean React and Tailwind CSS code.

Key Features

• Visual Design Canvas: Drag and drop elements to build complex interfaces easily.
• Export Production-Ready Code: Get clean React and Tailwind CSS code ready to use.
• Built-in Design System: Reusable components and tokens ensure consistency.
• Real-time Collaboration: Work with your team simultaneously on the same design.
• Responsive Design: Manage breakpoints effortlessly for optimal experience on all devices.

Who is it for?

Ideal for product teams, designers, and developers who want to accelerate UI building without compromising code quality. Whether you're building a prototype or a full product, Subframe provides a seamless collaborative environment.

How it works?

Start by dragging components from the system library onto the canvas, then customize as needed. Preview the design at different screen sizes. When done, export the code and integrate it into your project. Subframe also supports integration with popular development tools.
