About DESIGN.md Templates
DESIGN.md is a plain-text design system document popularized by Google Stitch. It uses Markdown to record a website's colors, fonts, spacing, component specs, and design decisions — enabling AI coding assistants (Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to generate UI that matches a reference site's style.
awesome-design-md is a GitHub repository offering manually-curated preset brand templates (~68). Design Extractor can analyze ANY website and auto-generate a DESIGN.md, with no preset limitations. We also provide ready-made templates for popular brands as quick starting points.
Free users can connect their own OpenAI-compatible API Key (e.g. Kimi, GPT-4o) for unlimited analyses. If you prefer not to configure an API Key, choose Pro ($5/mo, 50 analyses) or Max ($20/mo, 200 analyses) to use our platform quota directly.
Our extension collects computed CSS styles, variables, font families, color values, shadows, and gradients. It also captures three screenshots (top / 35% / 70%) for AI-powered visual analysis. The output covers color palettes, typography stacks, component specs, layout principles, and clone guides — accurate enough to guide AI in generating high-fidelity interfaces.
Google Stitch pioneered the DESIGN.md concept, but its format is Stitch-only. Our output is Stitch-compatible while adding extended sections: component states, responsive breakpoints, Do's and Don'ts, and more comprehensive design guardrails — usable with any AI coding tool.
We currently support Google Chrome and all Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Arc, Brave, etc.). Firefox and Safari versions are in development. The extension uses Manifest V3 with no extra runtime dependencies.
Yes. Since the extension runs in your local browser, it can access any page you are logged into — including intranets, admin dashboards, and local dev environments. Data is processed locally and never uploaded to our servers, ensuring complete privacy.
DESIGN.md files generated by Design Extractor are objective records of publicly visible design elements (color values, font names, spacing numbers). You are free to use these design tokens to guide your own work. We recommend using them as reference and inspiration rather than directly copying brand identities or proprietary visual assets.
