SnipCSS Extension

SnipCSS extracts all CSS styles associated with any portion of a webpage. It works on all websites, and after a few clicks you get the CSS, HTML and Images associated with the section of the website you are trying to recreate.

ANY COOL DESIGN YOU SEE ON THE WEB CAN BE YOUR PERSONAL TEMPLATE FOR QUICK PROTOTYPING!
========================================
If you tried to do the same by copying/pasting by hand it would probably take 20 minutes, but with SnipCSS you can select and get all styles including ones with media queries in under a minute. I even use it on sections of websites I created myself in other projects, so I can get a quick reusable HTML/CSS component to plug into my new project.

Unlike other CSS extractor extensions that use \"Computed Styles\", SnipCSS uses the Chrome DevTools protocol. Just like when you use devtools you see a list of associated styles, SnipCSS reconstructs that list for each element in the subtree of the DOM snippet.

All images, fonts and everything else needed for the design is downloaded, and you can easily export all the files into a zip file.

PRO VERSION LAUNCHED!
========================================
Get CSS from multiple resolutions or multiple elements using the Pro Version! Also advanced features like no-conflict CSS classes, scoping, removing unnecessary attributes/classes, and creating a sub-selection of items have been added for Pro members.

Version 1.7.0 adds the ability to turn your snippets into React/Vue templates by using ChatGPT.
The template version of a snippet injects Lorem Ipsum data into the html so copyrighted images/text are automatically replaced. You can also use Stable Diffusion to replace images in the HTML. Generative AI features require a free SnipCSS account.

TAILWIND CONVERSION!
========================================
Version 1.9.0 adds the ability to convert all HTML/CSS into valid Tailwind, including with media queries and pseudo selectors.

Just visit SnipCSS.com and sign up if you're interested in unlocking these advanced features.

Stanley Moukhametzianov (ID: 0000000dd86ba927) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/05/2022 Works perfectly for html and css elements. Any element that uses JS does not copy well but that is to be expected. Love this tools and the free version is awesome. It helps a lot for designing websites as you can see the code that other websites use and model your code off of that.
