Good vibes, bad designs.
Even the best AI's struggle to create good looking designs. They all have the same
"vibe coded looks".
You ask AI for a nice UI, it spits out boilerplate.
Everything looks copy-pasted from the same template.
Colors, spacing, typography - nothing feels polished.
Users can tell it wasn't crafted with care.

Everything you need

Got Questions About
ExtractCSS?
Your extractcss.dev questions answered
Is ExtractCSS really free?
Yes. 100% free, no signup, no hidden costs. It runs locally in your browser, so nothing leaves your machine.
Why did you build this?
I was frustrated spending hours vibe-coding or copying from DevTools, only to end up with layouts that looked "off." ExtractCSS fixes that.
What exactly does ExtractCSS do?
It lets you select any element on a live site and instantly get clean HTML + CSS, converted into Tailwind utilities. You can drop that straight into your project.
Does it only work with Tailwind?
No, you can also copy pure CSS. Tailwind conversion is optional but powerful.
How is this different from asking AI to generate a component?
AI guesses and often creates generic, lifeless UIs. ExtractCSS works on real designs - you get production-grade code that keeps the vibe intact.
What if I already use AI (ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude)?
Perfect combo: ExtractCSS handles the accurate extraction → then you hand it off to AI to wrap it into a framework component.
Why not just vibe code directly with AI?
AI UIs tend to look the same - bland spacing, broken responsiveness, missing details. ExtractCSS ensures the design stays polished, not generic.
Is this meant for prototyping or production?
Both. Great for rapid prototyping, but also accurate enough for production components once you replace branded assets.
Is my data safe?
Completely. All processing happens locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
Can I use ExtractCSS at work (client projects)?
Yes - but be mindful of licensing. Don't ship someone else's design directly; use it for learning, prototyping, or internal tools.
Is it legal to use?
ExtractCSS is a dev tool. You're responsible for how you use the output. Replace branded assets before publishing.
Does the extension slow down my browser?
No - it's lightweight and only runs when you click it.
Can I extract whole pages?
You can, but ExtractCSS is best used for single components or sections. Whole pages often contain too much noise.
What browsers are supported?
Currently Chrome. Other Chromium browsers may work; Firefox support is planned.
