01
Every LVGL widget
28 widgets: buttons, sliders, arcs, charts, rollers, tab views, keyboards. Each with the style parts and states LVGL really has, not a simplified subset.
Free 5 code generations, no account needed
Design the screen.
Ship the firmware.
A visual LVGL GUI designer for ESP32, STM32 and RP2040 touchscreen displays. Lay out the interface, pick the panel and touch controller, wire in your sensors. Then pick how it leaves.
You draw in
LVGLIt leaves as
A complete Arduino project that compiles. The sketch, the driver config, lv_conf.h, the LVGL UI sources and a platformio.ini. Every board here, every widget, every sensor - and an STM32 or RP2040 if that is what you are on.
Files for lvgl_micropython. Flash the firmware once, then change a screen by editing a file on the board - no rebuild, no toolchain. ESP32, S2, S3 or C3 with an SPI panel.
One YAML file and one command. Nothing to install but ESPHome itself, and the panel turns up in Home Assistant with its readings and controls already wired - or runs standalone if you would rather it did not.
An idf.py project in C, on Espressif's own drivers. esp_lcd, the component
registry and LVGL 9, with nothing of Arduino in it. Build it with idf.py build
for any ESP32, S2, S3, C3, C5, C6 or P4 board. Part of Pro.
Runs in your browser. Nothing to install, and no account until you want one.

What it does
Widgets, wiring, firmware
Designing the interface and bringing up the board are one job. LCD Wizard does both, and shows its work.
02
Real driver support
36 display and 18 touch controllers, each mapped to the driver TFT_eSPI, LovyanGFX, Arduino_GFX or esp_lcd expects. The export writes TFT_eSPI's User_Setup.h or LovyanGFX's LGFX_Config.hpp from your pins.
03
Pins that check themselves
Start from a board preset or set every pin by hand. Collisions, input-only, strapping and flash pins are flagged as you go, not when the board fails to boot.
04
Sensors and I/O
Add I2C and SPI buses, environmental sensors, ADCs, IMUs and I/O expanders. Every configuration register a part exposes is in the inspector.
05
Variables and formulas
Bind a sensor reading to a widget through a conversion formula. The same expression drives the live preview and the code written into your firmware.
06
Four ways to build it
A complete Arduino or PlatformIO project: sketch, UI sources, lv_conf.h, driver config and
a library list. Or an ESP-IDF project in C for idf.py. Or
Python for lvgl_micropython. Or one
ESPHome YAML file that joins Home Assistant.

Hardware
Built for the boards you already have
Start from a known-good preset, or describe your own wiring pin by pin. Every preset says which revision it was checked against, because vendor pinouts move.

“Absolutely love the prebuilt hardware compatibility – haven’t seen anything else on the market that does this. Would have saved me WEEKS of work on my last project.”

How it compares
Coming from SquareLine Studio?
LCD Wizard beside the LVGL editors people weigh it against, from their own documentation, including where each of them is the better choice.
Questions
Before you start
Do I need to install anything?
No. The designer runs in the browser. You need the Arduino IDE or PlatformIO to compile an Arduino export, ESP-IDF for an ESP-IDF export, or the lvgl_micropython build tools for MicroPython, but nothing to design with.
Is it a SquareLine Studio alternative?
Yes. It designs LVGL screens the way SquareLine Studio does, with widgets, styles, states and events, and it runs in the browser. Besides the screens, the export writes the sketch, the driver config, the touch code, lv_conf.h and a platformio.ini for your board. It cannot open SquareLine project files. The side-by-side comparison covers price, LVGL versions and what each one exports.
Do I need an account?
Not to start. As a guest you get 5 code generations with no email address and no card. A free account adds 15 a month, saved projects and the gallery; it asks you to confirm your email because that monthly allowance is counted per account.
What exactly is a “code generation”?
One full build of your project’s source files. Designing, previewing, validating, saving and reopening projects are free and unlimited. Only pressing Generate and getting files back counts.
Arduino, ESP-IDF, MicroPython or ESPHome?
Chosen when you start a project, because it decides which boards and widgets the designer
offers. Arduino covers every board and every peripheral, and is the one to pick if
you are unsure. ESP-IDF is Espressif's own framework, for Espressif chips only: a
C project with no Arduino layer, built with idf.py, and part of Pro –
what it supports.
MicroPython covers ESP32 boards with an SPI panel and lets you edit
the UI on the board –
what it supports, and what it costs in flash. ESPHome
writes one YAML file, needs no compiler on your machine, and can publish the widgets you
bind as Home Assistant entities –
what it supports.
Which LVGL version does it target?
LVGL 8.3 or 9 for Arduino, chosen per project; the generator handles the API differences. ESP-IDF is LVGL 9.4. MicroPython uses lvgl_micropython, which is LVGL 9.4. ESPHome bundles LVGL 9.5.
My board is not in the list.
Choose Custom and set the pins yourself: every preset is a shortcut to the same fields. Pro accounts can save their own boards as My boards and start every later design from them. If your board, display or touch controller is missing, ask for it in the forum's Board issues section or in board-requests on our Discord, or email admin@lcdwizard.com with the datasheet, and we will add it.
Who owns the code it generates?
You do. What the generator produces is yours for any purpose, with no attribution requirement and no runtime tied back to us.
