Extract and inspect web design measurements!
Web Design Scraper Extension
Web design measurements are aspects from web design that are representable in numerical form, generated by procedural algorithms.
In this tool, you can download the extracted measurements in a JSON file, which can be used as machine learning inputs for:
➡️ Predicting the usability of websites
➡️ Classifying websites based on certain design measurements
➡️ Scoring website quality and design aesthetic
Our algorithms can extract the following measurements:
➡️ Symmetry (Calculate ciede2000 average from the screenshot)
➡️ Complexity (Estimate text elements usage in the web page)
➡️ Density (Estimate negative space usage)
➡️ Cohesion (Calculate image elements aspect ratio consistency)
➡️ Economy (Calculate UI element size consistency)
➡️ Simplicity (Get total alignment points of UI elements)
➡️ Dominant colors
➡️ Font families
➡️ Text size distribution
More design measurements are currently being researched. 🔬
This extension is the implementation of the web design scraping concept that we coined in our research paper [1].
