Why Wire Studio?

Bridge the gap between visual design and code-first development with a tool that speaks both languages.

Code-First Design

Write clean Wire DSL code with instant visual feedback. Edit properties visually or in code—the choice is yours.

Collaborate with Code

Every design lives in plain text. Perfect for version control, code reviews, and team collaboration.

Live Preview

See your wireframes update in real-time as you code. Instant visual feedback without context switching.

Export Anywhere

Export to SVG, PNG, or PDF. Or use the generated code directly in your development workflow.

How It Works

From code to visual wireframe in three simple steps.

01 Code with confidence

Write Wire DSL Code

Start coding in clean, readable Wire DSL syntax. The editor provides syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and instant validation.

02 Instant feedback

See Live Preview

Watch your wireframe render in real-time as you type. See exactly how your code translates to visual design without switching tools.

03 Git-native workflow

Export & Collaborate

Export as SVG, PNG, or PDF. Commit your .wire files to Git and collaborate through pull requests, code reviews, and diffs.

What Makes Wire Studio Different

Built for developers who want the power of code with the speed of visual design.

Text-First Design

No proprietary formats. Just clean, readable code.

  • Human-readable Wire DSL syntax
  • Works with any text editor
  • Perfect for version control (Git diff-friendly)
  • AI can read, write, and modify your designs

Dev-Workflow Integration

Design tools that speak developer language.

  • Commit designs alongside your code
  • Review wireframes with pull requests
  • Collaborate through code comments
  • CI/CD integration for automated exports

Zero Ambiguity

What you see is exactly what's defined.

  • No hidden "magic" layers or effects
  • Explicit component hierarchy
  • Consistent design tokens by default
  • Built-in accessibility standards

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Wire Studio and Wire DSL.

Wire Studio is code-first, so you'll write Wire DSL code to create your wireframes. However, the editor provides visual tools to inspect and adjust properties, syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and instant preview feedback. You'll learn the syntax naturally as you code, with the live preview showing exactly how your code translates to design.

Wire Studio takes a fundamentally different approach: code-first and deterministic. Instead of dragging elements and manually adjusting positions, you define hierarchical layouts that adapt automatically. This means no pixel-pushing, no hidden layers, and zero ambiguity—what you see is exactly what's defined in code. Your designs live as clean .wire text files that work seamlessly with Git, enabling true version control, meaningful diffs, and developer-friendly collaboration that traditional design tools simply can't match.

Absolutely! Wire DSL is open-source and works standalone via CLI or programmatic API. Wire Studio is the visual layer that makes Wire DSL accessible to non-coders while maintaining all code-first benefits.

Wire Studio exports to SVG, PNG, and PDF for presentations. The .wire source files are plain text, perfect for committing to repositories and processing programmatically.

Yes! Since Wire DSL is plain text with clear syntax, AI models can easily understand and generate wireframes. LLMs that understand Wire DSL syntax and best practices can create wireframes from natural language descriptions. There's even a dedicated skill for this: install it with "npx skills add https://github.com/wire-dsl/wire-dsl --skill wireframe-generator" to supercharge your AI-assisted wireframing workflow.
