HtmlDrag v2.0: AI creation now has File Mode, Thinking, and a redesigned Template Mode

by

Hey everyone — I just shipped HtmlDrag v2.0, and this is the biggest product update I’ve made so far.

This release is all about making AI HTML creation more practical.

Instead of treating AI like a one-shot generator, I rebuilt the experience around two clearer workflows:

File Mode

You can now upload source materials and turn them into editable HTML pages.

Supported formats right now:

  • JPG / JPEG / PNG / WEBP

  • DOCX / MD / TXT

I also added Thinking, so the system can spend more effort understanding the uploaded material before generating page structure and content.

And one thing I care a lot about: files are processed in a local-first flow and won’t be stored in the cloud after processing.

Template Mode

I also redesigned the original AI generation flow:

  • improved interaction flow

  • custom styles

  • custom HTML sizes

A more personal note: I used AI heavily to complete this upgrade. That was intentional. I wanted this release to show not only what the product can do with AI, but also how far I can push AI as a solo founder building a real tool.

What’s next

I’m already planning support for:

  • PDF

  • PPT

Changelog

  • launched AI Creator

  • added File Mode

  • added support for images and documents as source materials

  • added Thinking in File Mode

  • redesigned Template Mode

  • added custom styles

  • added custom HTML sizes

  • clarified privacy flow: files are not stored in the cloud after processing

If you try it, I’d really love to know:
Would you use File Mode more for landing pages, reports, email layouts, or something else?

How accurate is it when converting complex layouts into HTLM?

 Thanks — for complex layouts, I’d say the goal is less “perfect 1:1 reproduction” and more “a strong editable HTML starting point.” It works best when structure matters, and then you can keep refining visually.

What kind of real-world use cases are you seeing most so far?

 So far, the clearest use cases are landing pages, lightweight reports, and email-style layouts — especially when people already have files or scattered source material and want an editable HTML version quickly.

Any challenges with handling large or messy input file?

 Yes, definitely — large or messy inputs are one of the hardest parts. That’s actually one reason I added Thinking in File Mode. It helps with structure, but I still want to keep improving this area, especially as I add PDF and PPT support later.
