PaintCode is a program that might come in handy to developers who wish to easily convert vector images into code. The application works with multiple photo formats, immediately generates the code you need, and comes with various image editing options.
You can use the built-in editing options to add geometrical shapes or attach text content to your images. Once you finish modifying the vector image, you can export it to your local directories or convert it to the preferred code format.
The program supports converting vector images to formats like Swift, Objective-C, Java, C#, JavaScript, or SVG. An important advantage is the fact that it takes a very small amount of time to generate the code you need. You can then export the code as a StyleKit file.
Furthermore, the resulting code can be used in applications that were developed for iOS, Android, and macOS devices.
To be honest, I can't find a single bad thing to say about this program. It does exactly what's being said on the homepage of the developer, provides you with multiple useful features, and works very fast.
