SnipCSS

Extract the CSS/HTML for any element on any page, only take the styles you want

SnipCSS is a powerful Chrome extension designed to extract all CSS styles, HTML, and images from any portion of a webpage effortlessly. It works seamlessly on all websites, enabling you to snag cool designs and turn them into reusable templates in under a minute. Unlike ordinary CSS extractors relying on computed styles, SnipCSS utilizes the Chrome DevTools protocol, providing accurate styles including media queries for each selected element.

With SnipCSS, users can export all assets into a zip file effortlessly. The Pro version unlocks advanced capabilities such as multi-resolution CSS extraction, no-conflict class generation, scoping, and element sub-selection. Recent updates include AI-powered features converting snippets into React or Vue templates with auto-generated placeholder content, and even Stable Diffusion image replacements. Plus, SnipCSS now supports converting your extracted code into Tailwind CSS frameworks, preserving complex selectors and queries. These features make SnipCSS an invaluable tool for web developers, designers, and prototypers aiming for rapid and precise web component reuse.

Does not work. CSS copying is difficult and you have to use a paid software if you want it to work well

Worked great for my use case, which was extracting css/html for a particular section of interest on a website so an AI LLM could analyse it and advise me. Thanks!
