What is Pencil?
Pencil is a design-to-code tool that lets you create layouts and interfaces on a visual canvas, then automatically converts them into production-ready code. It bridges the gap between design and development — what you see on the canvas is what ships in code. No more redlining, no more pixel-perfect handoffs, no more rebuilding designs from scratch.
Designers work visually, developers get clean code.
Features
- Canvas-based visual design interface
- Automatic code generation from designs
