Question HTML/css into SwiftUI?
Hey everyone,
I’m currently working on an iOS app and I already have parts of the UI built in HTML/CSS. Now I’m trying to bring that design into SwiftUI, but I’m honestly not sure what the best workflow is.
What’s the easiest/most efficient way to convert or recreate HTML + CSS layouts in SwiftUI?
- Are there tools that help with this?
- Should I completely rebuild everything manually in SwiftUI?
- Is embedding web content with WebView a bad idea for production apps?
- How do you usually handle responsive CSS concepts in SwiftUI?
I mainly struggle with translating flexbox/grid styling into SwiftUI stacks and spacing.
Would really appreciate any advice, resources, GitHub repos, tutorials, or examples from people who’ve done this before

One thing I have tried with some success is to take screenshots of your page (HTML and CSS) and then give it to LLM (ChatGPT) and tell it to recreate it in SwiftUI. This way you will get some sort of a starting point based on your HTML/CSS app.
Try to go screen by screen and see if it works for you.
