Web Design Pirate

Fast and easy way to copy web components, HTML widgets and parts of website design.

Web Design Pirate is a powerful Chrome DevTools extension designed to streamline the process of copying web components and HTML widgets. It allows you to select any HTML node on a webpage and extracts only the necessary CSS styles required to render that specific component or subtree accurately.

Featuring a dedicated "Pirate" tab in your Chrome DevTools, the extension automatically syncs your inspected element from the Elements tab, making it effortless to grab and reuse design parts. Additionally, it provides an option to control the depth of inner HTML content for wrapper-style components, enabling more optimized and minimal CSS extraction. This tool is perfect for web designers and developers looking to quickly replicate and customize portions of website designs with precision and ease.

User reviews

Web Design Pirate is praised by some users for its simplicity and helpfulness in copying styles and solving design issues quickly. However, multiple users report frequent technical problems, including errors, failure to display CSS, and inconsistent functionality across different sites or users. These issues often limit the extension's usefulness, leading some to consider it abandoned or unreliable. Version 1.3 seems to be a better release according to feedback, but overall stability and performance remain concerns based on user reviews.
