Design to App

Start from what you can see: a screenshot becomes an app in your identity

Upload screenshots, a design, or your logo and brand guide. Fanann extracts the colours, type, spacing and component shapes and shows them as a live brand board you edit by hand. Then it builds your app to follow it, with your logo and product photos.

How a picture becomes an app

An identity you see first, then an app that keeps to it

Do not describe colours in words: show Fanann what you want, and correct what it understood before it builds.

1Upload

One place for everything you have

Four clear slots: references (screenshots, design exports, photos of a sketch), the logo, the brand guide and product photos. Drag files from your computer, or snap them with your phone camera.

  • PNG, JPEG, WebP and PDF pages
  • Figma exports as PNG or PDF
  • From the camera or photo library on a phone
2The brand board

A complete design system, and all of it editable

The board assembles itself in front of you: a palette where every colour has a role, type and sizes, corner radius and spacing density, and samples of a button, a card and an input in your style. Swap a colour or a font and the samples follow at once. Contrast between text and background is calculated, not guessed.

  • Colours with roles and a contrast check
  • Fonts your app can actually load
  • Samples that change with every edit
3Build and library

An app in your identity, and a board you keep

Choose a web app or a mobile app, and describe what you want or pick one of the ideas Fanann suggests from what it saw. The build starts with the board as its binding reference, and your logo and product photos are copied into the app’s files so they really appear in it. The board is saved to your library to start another app from.

  • Plan first or build now
  • Your logo and photos inside the app
  • Start another app with the same identity
Examples

Three ways to start from something you can see

A screenshot of an app whose style you like

Fanann picks up its character: the colour tones, the density of the spacing, the shape of cards and buttons, and builds your own app in that character.

“A store for a coffee roastery in this style, with a weekly subscription”

A logo and a brand guide from your client

Upload the logo and the brand file and you get a board in the brand’s colours with fitting type, saved to start that client’s next apps from.

“A sales dashboard in the client’s identity”

A sketch on paper or a whiteboard

Snap the sketch with your phone and upload it. Fanann reads the screen layout and its elements; you describe the app in a sentence and choose its look on the board.

“A pitch-booking app with this layout”

Who is it for?

Agencies and freelancers

Each client’s identity saved as a board you start app after app from.

Brand owners

You have a logo and colours and want an app that looks like your brand, not a generic template.

Founders

You have a sketch or reference shots and want to see it working.

Designers

Export your frames from your design tool and watch them become a real app.

Figma exports, not .fig files

Fanann does not open a Figma file itself. Select the frame in Figma, Export it as PNG or PDF, and upload the result.

It follows the identity, it is not a pixel copy

The result is an app that follows the extracted design system, not a pixel-for-pixel copy. You fine-tune details afterwards by chat or with the visual editor.

Upload what you have the right to use

The logos, photos and designs you upload are your responsibility: use what you own or are permitted to use.

How it works

Three steps from a picture to an app

Start from “Design to App” in the Fanann dashboard.

1

Upload what you have

References, a logo, a brand guide, product photos.

2

Review the brand board

Adjust colours, type and radius until you are happy.

3

Describe the app and build

Web or mobile, planned first or built directly.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Can I turn a Figma design into an app?
Yes, through Figma exports. Fanann does not open .fig files themselves: select the frame in Figma, Export it as PNG or PDF, and upload the result in the references slot.
Which files can I upload?
PNG, JPEG and WebP images and PDF pages as references, the logo, the brand guide (a PDF or a document) and product photos. On a phone you can shoot with the camera directly.
Will the app match the design exactly?
You get an app that follows the extracted design system: colours, type, spacing and component shapes. It is not a pixel-for-pixel copy. Whatever you want to fine-tune afterwards you change by chat or by clicking it in the visual editor.
Can I change the colours and fonts Fanann extracted?
Yes, before the build. Everything on the brand board is editable: swap a colour, pick another font pairing, move the radius and density sliders, and the samples follow instantly.
Does the app really use my logo and product photos?
Yes. The logo and product photos are copied into the app’s files when the build starts, so Fanann uses them in the interface instead of placeholders.
Can I use the same identity for more than one app?
Yes. Every board is saved in your library; you can rename it, duplicate it and start another app from it whenever you like.
Which plans include Design to App?
Design to App is part of the paid plans. Building a mobile app from it needs a plan that includes mobile apps.
