## Description

Element Snapshot captures a selected page element, or an entire webpage and creates a clean, portable HTML recreation directly inside Firefox.

Features include:
<ul><li>Single-element, multi-element, and whole-page capture</li><li>Clean HTML without scripts, event handlers, hidden content, or page-only metadata</li><li>Preservation of relevant visual styles, fonts, images, SVG icons, pseudo-elements, and optional animations</li><li>A built-in preview with light and dark backgrounds</li><li>Standalone HTML download or portable ZIP export with localized assets</li><li>Copying generated HTML directly to the clipboard</li><li>Lightweight input-token estimation for the generated HTML, useful when the output is used as context for LLMs, based on OpenRouter's QuadChars heuristic.</li><li>Incremental processing for larger pages</li></ul>
All capture and export processing happens locally inside Firefox. Element Snapshot does not transmit captured website content, browsing activity, or analytics to external servers. Remote assets are not fetched during export.
