PaintCode

The application lets users create vector graphics and instantly produces corresponding drawing code in Objective‑C or Swift, with additional export options for Java, C#, JavaScript, and SVG. Artists can import existing PDF, SVG, PSD, AI, or EPS files, then edit them using variables and expressions that control attributes such as color, position, rotation, and visibility. The generated code is resolution‑independent, eliminating the need for multiple raster assets, and is packaged into a single “StyleKit” file that can be re‑exported to reflect any changes.

Developers can integrate the exported code directly into iOS, macOS, Android, or web projects, using it to render UI elements or custom graphics at runtime. The workflow is designed to keep design and implementation in sync, allowing updates to the visual assets to propagate automatically through the code without manual recreation.

The tool targets developers and designers who need a tight loop between visual design and implementation, especially those working on native mobile or desktop applications where vector‑based, parametric graphics are required. Its stable release supports a range of target languages and platforms, providing a single source of truth for both design and code.
