What Is Google Stitch?
Google Stitch is an experimental AI-powered tool developed by Google Labs that enables users to generate mobile and web application user interfaces (UIs) from simple text prompts or images. Leveraging the multimodal capabilities of Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro model, Stitch facilitates rapid UI design and frontend code generation, streamlining the design-to-development workflow.
Core Features
- Text-to-UI Generation: Describe your desired interface in plain English, and Stitch will generate a corresponding UI layout.
- Image-to-UI Conversion: Upload sketches, wireframes, or screenshots, and Stitch will interpret them to create editable UI designs.
- Rapid Iteration: Generate multiple design variants to explore different layouts and styles quickly.
Seamless Export: Export designs as HTML/CSS code or directly to Figma for further refinement. - Conversational Refinement: Iterate on designs through an interactive chat interface, making adjustments to elements like color schemes and typography.
Pricing & User Base
Google Stitch is currently available for free as part of Google Labs. There are no paid plans or usage limits announced at this time. However, as an experimental product, access may be limited or subject to change in the future.
Use Case Example
Scenario: A startup founder needs to quickly prototype a mobile app for tracking personal finances.
Solution: Using Google Stitch, the founder describes the desired interface: “A dashboard with teal accents, a bottom navigation bar, and rounded cards displaying recent transactions.” Within minutes, Stitch generates a responsive UI layout with clean typography and color schemes.
