v0
AI-Powered UI Generator from Vercel
What is v0?
v0 is Vercel's AI tool that generates production-ready React and Next.js user interfaces from text prompts. v0 uses shadcn/ui components and Tailwind CSS by default, producing code that matches modern frontend standards out of the box. v0 renders a live preview as you iterate, letting you click any element to refine it with a follow-up prompt. v0 understands layout, spacing, responsive design, and accessibility, so the UI v0 generates looks polished without manual tweaking. Developers use v0 to prototype pages, build component libraries, and skip the blank-canvas problem entirely. For teams on the Vercel stack, v0 integrates directly into Next.js projects via the v0 CLI, making v0 the fastest path from idea to deployed UI.
Key Features of v0
Text-to-UI Generation
Describe a dashboard, landing page, or form in plain English and v0 generates the full component tree with shadcn/ui and Tailwind. v0 outputs real code you can copy, not a design mockup.
Live Preview and Iteration
v0 renders your UI in a sandboxed preview. Click any element and prompt a change, like 'make this card wider' or 'add a dark mode toggle'. v0 applies the edit instantly.
shadcn/ui Integration
v0 builds on the shadcn/ui component library, so generated code uses well-tested, accessible primitives. You get production-quality components from v0 without hand-rolling each one.
Copy or CLI Export
Copy v0-generated code to your clipboard with one click, or use the v0 CLI to add it directly into your Next.js project. No manual file creation needed.
Responsive by Default
v0 generates layouts that adapt to mobile, tablet, and desktop breakpoints. Every v0 output includes proper Tailwind responsive classes so your UI works everywhere.
