WebUI-95 Turns Screenshots Into Lean Code
WebUI-95 is a research dataset of 63,824 normalized web interfaces generated from screenshots using UI-to-code models. It preserves roughly 94% visual similarity while shrinking code volume by about 95%, creating cleaner training data for interface-generation research.

WebUI-95 makes a strong case for AI-generated code as a data-cleaning layer, but its impressive visual metrics should not be mistaken for production-ready frontend reconstruction.
- –The dataset converts messy real-world HTML into compact semantic structures while retaining substantial visual diversity.
- –Cleaner DOMs could improve screenshot-to-code models, layout prediction, accessibility tooling, and web-agent perception.
- –The generated pages are static, so buttons, forms, navigation, and other interactive behaviors are lost.
- –Fidelity drops on overlapping layouts, embedded media, and custom-font-heavy pages, limiting use in pixel-perfect workflows.
- –Its biggest value may be normalization: preserving real design variety without forcing models to learn framework boilerplate.
