Cursor Browser Visual Editor — Design Mode for Your Live App

Cursor Team · Cursor Blog ·

Cursor's official Visual Editor turns the in-browser preview into a design surface: drag-and-drop layout edits across the DOM, a Figma-style inspector for spacing, color, typography and design tokens, React state toggles, and a point-and-prompt flow that an agent commits back to real code.

Publisher summary

The visual editor brings web app, codebase, and visual editing into one window — edit your live app directly, then let the agent persist the changes as real, reviewable code.
