Have you ever wished you could turn a screenshot of a website into actual HTML and CSS code? Thanks to the revolutionary model developed by Hugging Face, this process is not only a dream but now a reality! In this article, we’ll explore how to use this model to convert screenshots into usable code, step by step.
What You Need
- Python installed on your machine.
- Access to the Hugging Face model HuggingFace M4.
- The necessary libraries: torch, PIL (Pillow), and transformers.
- Your API token from Hugging Face.
Step-by-Step Setup
Let’s break down the code needed for this transformation. You can think of the overall process like preparing a delicious meal. You gather your ingredients (the code), follow a recipe (the functions and methods), and voila! You have your beautiful plate of food (the HTML/CSS output).
import torch
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoProcessor
DEVICE = torch.device('cuda')
PROCESSOR = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained('HuggingFaceM4VLM_WebSight_finetuned', token=API_TOKEN)
MODEL = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained('HuggingFaceM4VLM_WebSight_finetuned', token=API_TOKEN, trust_remote_code=True, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16).to(DEVICE)
def convert_to_rgb(image):
if image.mode == 'RGB':
return image
image_rgba = image.convert('RGBA')
background = Image.new('RGBA', image_rgba.size, (255, 255, 255))
alpha_composite = Image.alpha_composite(background, image_rgba)
return alpha_composite.convert('RGB')
# Usage of functions continues...
Understanding the Code
The above code serves as our culinary recipe:
- Ingredients: We import necessary libraries like
torchandPIL(like gathering our spices and vegetables). - Device Selection: The line
DEVICE = torch.device('cuda')checks if we can use a GPU for faster processing (like choosing the right cooking surface). - Model Initialization: Here we load the model and processor with the provided API token, analogous to preheating your oven.
- Image Conversion: The
convert_to_rgbfunction ensures our images are in the correct format—a crucial step just like ensuring our ingredients are prepped (washed and chopped).
Generating HTML/CSS Code
Now that we have our setup ready, we will continue our recipe to generate the HTML/CSS code:
inputs = PROCESSOR.tokenizer('BOS_TOKEN fake_token_around_image image', return_tensors='pt', add_special_tokens=False)
inputs['pixel_values'] = PROCESSOR.image_processor([image], transform=custom_transform)
inputs = {k: v.to(DEVICE) for k, v in inputs.items()}
generated_ids = MODEL.generate(**inputs, bad_words_ids=BAD_WORDS_IDS, max_length=4096)
generated_text = PROCESSOR.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
print(generated_text)
Troubleshooting
Like any cooking endeavor, things might go awry. Here are some troubleshooting ideas:
- Model does not load: Ensure you are using the correct API token and the model path is accurate.
- Image issues: Make sure your input image is in a compatible format.
- Performance lag: If the model is running slow, check if your device supports CUDA and that you have enough resources available.
