Exporting AI-generated UI to Next.js, React, Tailwind, and Figma
A guide to U2C export presets and when to use static HTML, Next.js, React/Vite, Tailwind/shadcn, or Figma capture.
Try this workflow in U2C
Create a product analytics dashboard that can be exported to Next.js and Tailwind. Include sidebar navigation, charts, tables, filters, and empty states.
Start from this promptChoose the export format by next step
Static HTML is best when you need a simple artifact that can be hosted anywhere or reviewed by a stakeholder.
Next.js and React/Vite exports are better when you want a project scaffold. Tailwind/shadcn export is a migration bridge for teams planning to rebuild repeated parts as native components.
Why export validation matters
A broken preview should not become a ZIP file. U2C checks exported pages for complete document structure, visible content, and blank-preview risk before packaging.
This prevents teams from downloading sparse or malformed results and discovering the problem later in their codebase.
Design handoff with Figma
Figma capture is useful when the next step is design review, annotation, or visual iteration with a team.
Use code exports when the next step is engineering integration. Use Figma export when the next step is product/design alignment.
FAQ
Does Tailwind export create native shadcn components?+
The current export is a shadcn-ready starter and migration bridge. Full native component extraction is a deeper roadmap item.
Can I export multi-page projects?+
Yes. U2C preserves pages and routes in the export package where the selected format supports them.
