You're coding late at night. Everything's working fine until... BAM! 💥
TypeError: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined
You know the drill:
- Copy error message
- Google it
- Open 10 Stack Overflow tabs
- Try random solutions
- Still broken
- Repeat...
Sound familiar?
What if You Could Just Screenshot the Error?
That's why I built AI Visual Debugger - a free tool where you:
- 📸 Screenshot your error
- 📝 Paste your code
- 🤖 Get AI-powered fix with explanation
No more tab-hopping. No more guessing.
Why It's Different
Most AI tools only read text. But when you're debugging, you're looking at:
- Error messages on screen
- Console output
- Your actual code
- Line numbers and file paths
This tool analyzes everything together - just like a real developer would.
How It Works
Step 1: Submit Your Error
Paste your logs, stack traces, or code snippets in the text area.
Step 2: Upload Screenshots
Drag and drop error screenshots (up to 6 files). The AI analyzes the visual context.
Step 3: Click "Analyze Error"
Let the AI do its magic in 2-5 seconds...
Step 4: Get Your Fix
You'll receive:
✅ Extracted Errors - Clear summary of error messages
🔍 Possible Causes - Likely reasons behind the error explained simply
🛠️ Fix Steps - Step-by-step guide with corrected code snippets
💡 Additional Notes - Best practices and tips to prevent future errors
