Best Screenshot-to-Code Alternatives to Lovable.dev in 2026 (Including Replay)

TL;DR: Lovable.dev is no longer available, but Replay and other tools offer superior alternatives for generating code from visual inputs, especially when behavior analysis and dynamic UI reconstruction are required.

The sunset of Lovable.dev has left a void in the screenshot-to-code landscape. While it offered a convenient way to translate visual designs into code, the industry has evolved, and several powerful alternatives have emerged. This post explores the best screenshot-to-code alternatives in 2026, with a particular focus on Replay, a revolutionary video-to-code engine.

Beyond Screenshots: The Need for Behavior-Driven Reconstruction#

Screenshot-to-code tools have limitations. They can only interpret static images, missing crucial context about user interactions and dynamic UI elements. Modern web applications are rarely static; they're interactive, data-driven, and responsive to user behavior. That's where tools like Replay excel, offering behavior-driven reconstruction.

Replay doesn't just see a picture; it analyzes video recordings of user interactions. This allows it to understand the intent behind the UI, reconstruct multi-page flows, and generate code that accurately reflects real-world usage.

Top Screenshot-to-Code Alternatives in 2026#

Let's examine the leading screenshot-to-code alternatives, comparing their strengths and weaknesses.

As the table highlights, Replay stands out by supporting video input and providing behavior analysis capabilities. This results in more accurate and functional code generation, especially for complex, interactive applications.

Replay: Video-to-Code Engine#

Replay takes a unique approach by using video as the source of truth for code generation. It leverages advanced AI, including Gemini, to analyze user behavior, reconstruct UI elements, and generate working code.

Key Features of Replay#

• •Multi-Page Generation: Replay can analyze videos spanning multiple pages and generate complete application flows.
• •Supabase Integration: Seamlessly integrate with Supabase for backend functionality and data management.
• •Style Injection: Inject custom styles to match your brand and design guidelines.
• •Product Flow Maps: Visualize user flows and interactions for better understanding and optimization.
• •Behavior-Driven Reconstruction: Understands user intent, not just static UI elements.

Getting Started with Replay: A Step-by-Step Guide#

Here's how to use Replay to generate code from a screen recording:

Step 1: Record Your User Flow#

Use any screen recording tool (Loom, QuickTime, etc.) to capture a video of your desired user flow. Ensure the video clearly shows all interactions, transitions, and UI elements.

💡 Pro Tip: Speak clearly while recording to provide additional context for Replay's AI.

Step 2: Upload Your Video to Replay#

Navigate to the Replay platform and upload your screen recording.

Step 3: Configure Generation Settings#

Specify the desired output language (e.g., React, Vue), target framework, and any custom styling preferences.

Step 4: Review and Refine the Generated Code#

Replay will generate the code based on your video and settings. Review the code, make any necessary adjustments, and download the final product.

Step 5: Integrate with Your Project#

Integrate the generated code into your existing project. You can use the Supabase integration to connect to your backend and data sources.

Code Example: Generating a React Component with Replay#

Let's say you've recorded a video of a simple to-do list application. Replay can generate the following React component:

typescript
// Generated by Replay
import React, { useState } from 'react';

interface Todo {
  id: number;
  text: string;
  completed: boolean;
}

const TodoList: React.FC = () => {
  const [todos, setTodos] = useState<Todo[]>([
    { id: 1, text: 'Learn Replay', completed: false },
    { id: 2, text: 'Build a to-do app', completed: true },
  ]);

  const [newTodo, setNewTodo] = useState('');

  const handleInputChange = (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
    setNewTodo(event.target.value);
  };

  const handleAddTodo = () => {
    if (newTodo.trim() !== '') {
      setTodos([...todos, { id: Date.now(), text: newTodo, completed: false }]);
      setNewTodo('');
    }
  };

  const handleToggleComplete = (id: number) => {
    setTodos(
      todos.map((todo) =>
        todo.id === id ? { ...todo, completed: !todo.completed } : todo
      )
    );
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>My To-Do List</h1>
      <input
        type="text"
        value={newTodo}
        onChange={handleInputChange}
        placeholder="Add a new todo"
      />
      <button onClick={handleAddTodo}>Add</button>
      <ul>
        {todos.map((todo) => (
          <li key={todo.id}>
            <input
              type="checkbox"
              checked={todo.completed}
              onChange={() => handleToggleComplete(todo.id)}
            />
            <span style={{ textDecoration: todo.completed ? 'line-through' : 'none' }}>
              {todo.text}
            </span>
          </li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </div>
  );
};

export default TodoList;

This code is a fully functional React component that you can directly integrate into your application. Replay intelligently infers the state management, event handlers, and UI structure from the video recording.

Advanced Features: Supabase Integration and Style Injection#

Replay goes beyond basic code generation by offering advanced features like Supabase integration and style injection.

Supabase Integration#

Replay can automatically generate the necessary code to interact with your Supabase backend. This includes data fetching, authentication, and real-time updates.

📝 Note: You'll need to configure your Supabase credentials in Replay's settings.

Style Injection#

Replay allows you to inject custom styles into the generated code. This ensures that the UI matches your brand and design guidelines. You can specify CSS classes, themes, or even use a CSS-in-JS library like Styled Components.

typescript
// Example of style injection using Styled Components
import styled from 'styled-components';

const StyledButton = styled.button`
  background-color: #4CAF50;
  color: white;
  padding: 10px 20px;
  border: none;
  cursor: pointer;

  &:hover {
    background-color: #3e8e41;
  }
`;

// Use StyledButton in your component
const MyComponent = () => {
  return <StyledButton>Click Me</StyledButton>;
};

⚠️ Warning: Ensure your styling is consistent and well-organized for optimal code maintainability.

Replay: Understanding the User's Intent#

The real power of Replay lies in its ability to understand the user's intent. By analyzing video recordings, Replay can infer the purpose of each interaction and generate code that accurately reflects the desired behavior.

For example, if a user clicks a button to submit a form, Replay can automatically generate the code to handle the form submission, validate the input, and display a success message. This level of intelligence is simply not possible with traditional screenshot-to-code tools.

Frequently Asked Questions#

Replay is ideal for recreating existing UIs or capturing complex interactions, while v0.dev is better suited for generating new UI components from scratch.

What file formats are supported for video uploads?#

Replay supports common video formats like MP4, MOV, and WebM.

What code languages and frameworks does Replay support?#

Replay currently supports React, Vue, and HTML/CSS. Support for additional languages and frameworks is planned for future releases.

How secure is my video data when using Replay?#

Replay uses industry-standard security measures to protect your video data. All videos are encrypted in transit and at rest.
