Short answer

How can I turn HTML code into an image using AI?

Your AI uses the render_html tool to process HTML snippets and output PNG or JPG files. You simply provide the code or a URL, and the AI handles the conversion. You'll get visual assets ready for use in your projects.

Visual outputs

Where your assets land

The AI handles the heavy lifting of rendering and file generation.

ASSETS

CONTENT

Code to visuals

Your agent converts raw HTML into formatted images. This works for single snippets or entire web pages.

REVIEW

Human visual check

You receive the final image to inspect. You decide if the layout looks right before moving to the next step.
