Use a visual starting point
Attach a screenshot with instructions about behavior, giving v0 a concrete layout and style to work from.
Design into working code
v0
Shape the interface. Ship the app.
Vercel’s v0 connects visual creation with full-stack web development. Start from a prompt or design reference, refine the interface, then add data and deploy.

v0 at a glance
v0 accepts descriptions, screenshots, and design references as starting points for an application. The generated interface remains connected to editable source code as you refine the experience.
Its full-stack workflow defaults to Next.js and connects to the Vercel ecosystem. Database integrations and deployment extend a visual prototype into an application with persistent data.
| Aspect | What to expect | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Primary workflow | Prompt or design reference into editable web code | Official guide ↗ |
| Default stack | Next.js, within the Vercel ecosystem | Official guide ↗ |
| Data integrations | Connect services such as Neon, Supabase, and Upstash | Official guide ↗ |
What it helps you do
Features & uses
Fine-tune in Design mode
Select elements in the preview, adjust typography or spacing, then apply those edits as a new code version.
Connect the application stack
Add services such as Neon, Supabase, or Upstash through integrations, and deploy the project to Vercel.

Getting started
- 1
Establish the interface
Provide a prompt or screenshot, explain the main actions, and review the first working layout.
- 2
Connect data and behavior
Add persistence and backend functionality in focused steps, checking each user flow as it becomes real.
- 3
Polish and deploy
Use Design mode or Code view for refinements, then publish through the connected Vercel workflow.
VibeAtlas editorial guidance
Is v0 a good fit?
A suggested evaluation, based on the documented workflow.
Evaluate the interface and its data contract together
Start with a dashboard based on a clear design reference. Ask for one real data source and a useful empty state, then check the generated components and the loading behavior. Use the same trial to judge how well the code fits your team's existing React conventions.
Before release, test the deployed application with realistic records and missing data. Decide which team owns the connected database and its credentials; those responsibilities continue after the interface is generated.
Questions before you start
Frequently asked questions
Is v0 only for generating static interfaces?
No. The documentation covers full-stack applications, database connections, and deployment as well as interface generation. Build the application in focused steps so you can verify persistence and server behavior separately from the visual layout.
Read the official explanationCan I start from a screenshot?
Yes. v0 accepts screenshots and design references. Describe the expected interactions alongside the image: a screenshot communicates appearance, but cannot by itself specify validation, permissions, or what should happen after a user submits a form.
Read the official explanationWhich framework is the default?
The full-stack guide identifies Next.js as the default and most reliable path. Other frameworks may be possible, but check the generated project and required integrations rather than assuming the same workflow for every stack.
Read the official explanationHow does a v0 app store real data?
Connect an appropriate database through the documented integrations, which include services such as Neon, Supabase, and Upstash. Then verify the schema, environment variables, and user access rules in the deployed project.
