Using Sketch2Code is very simple: 1. Visit the official website; 2. Upload a hand-drawn design sketch or use the built-in drawing board to create one; 3. The system automatically analyzes the image and generates HTML code; 4. Download or copy the generated code to your development environment for use. The entire process requires no programming experience, but the generated code may need further optimization.
