What is Stitch?
Stitch is a Google tool that helps you design app interfaces with AI. You can describe the screen you want, upload a sketch or screenshot, and Stitch generates UI designs for mobile or web apps. It grew out of Galileo AI, which Google acquired, and is available at stitch.withgoogle.com.
To use it, you start by telling Stitch what you need, or you upload a visual reference. Stitch then creates a design you can refine by chatting with it. When you are happy, you can paste the design into Figma or export front-end code to use in your project.
Stitch is free to use with a Google account during its current release. It suits designers, developers, and product teams who want to speed up ideation and prototyping. The tool focuses on UI generation, so you may still need other tools for full app development.

Tips for better results with Stitch
- Start with a detailed description of your screen, including layout, colors, and elements, so Stitch generates a design closer to your vision from the first attempt.
- Upload a clean, high-contrast sketch or screenshot as a reference, and Stitch will better interpret the structure and spacing you intend for the interface.
- Use the chat refinement feature to make specific changes, like adjusting button placement or color, rather than regenerating from scratch, which saves time and keeps consistency.
- After refining your design in Stitch, export the code or paste it into Figma to test it in your actual project environment and catch any integration issues early.
